    What would be better? As I understand smileys have the best light output, I plan on running 55w hid's high and low

      35w 4.3k Morimoto H1 HID kit in depo smileys..

      ~5ft


      ~20ft


      ~50ft.. further towards the right of the fence.



      A 55w kit would increase foreground lighting, in turn reducing overall sight distance since your pupils will shrink to compensate for all the light up close.

      Food for thought.

        Looks nice! I was thinking of putting FXRs in mine... Having extra highs would be sick. (in my head anyway) I feel like mine make too much foreground and nothing "on the cutoff" (waaaay down the street.) Also the width is pathetic.

          Okay quick poll:

          Porsche 964 or E30 M3

          Both around the same price range, both pretty awesome cars.

            Is that a real question? 964 erry day

            Comment


              I thought it was a pretty close comparison, both are on the top of the list for obtainable dream cars. But, when I see ads like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-...US_Cars_Trucks


              It's always the 964. The RS Americas are fucking tits but waaay more money.

                            Really blows when you have to take apart shit halfway into the job, because you forgot to lube a part. In my case, the hub area before the rotor goes on. That sinking thought of "Just take a chance and it'll be ok sinks in."

                            Ohwell, off goess the caliper bracket, rotor as well, lube that shit and back on again in less than 5 mins. At least I can head into the bedding process knowing my car is lubricated and ready for an ass kicking.

                            MMM can't wait for that new brake pad smell :up:

                              Not a big fan of the slant nose.

                                I would take an E30 M3. Whenever I look at Porsches from that era I just feel like they lack the engineering details/completeness that the BMW's have.
