I'd just like to say I hate you and never want to talk to you again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Okay, in all honesty, this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Now, I will be sure to take a few great shots of your car near some classy garbage cans at the WCR. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Rob, you sure do have some cool toys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)


Bovey doesn’t seem to hang out here much anymore but I wanted him to know, my old photographer has been getting hired for more shoots recently! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Those of you who’ve been following this thread know some of the history behind this next little mod. When I built the Raby kit motor the programmable EFI had the option to add a Check Engine light. McMark came up with the idea to take the Fasten Seat Belt lens and mod it to say Check Engine. It was a cool little detail.

But now, with the ‘89 Carrera motor attached to its DME injection, there isn’t a CEL option.

What to do?

I saw three options. First, leave it alone. Second, remove it and re-do the dash basket weave. Third, change what the light says... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Here’s the first modification if you guys don’t recall, and remember, it’s totally functional.

Those of you who know me personally know that I’m not a really serious guy unless the situation is life or death, and since I’m retired, I’m not dealing with that much anymore.

I want to thank McMark again for the original idea, and Garold Shaffer for supplying the new lens.

I still need to put another coat of paint on this after the first coat completely drys and contracts, and plastic polish the red to make it shine again.

I will somehow make the light functional to freak out the innocent! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

I'd mount a solenoid to the underside of the seat so when you push the button it smacks the seat for extra effect!

While your driving a bass shaker might as well drive the sound track of an ejection seat deployment. It is only a short burst, though I would not add the smoke generator as that might hinder your view of their face. Though your sense of smell you might tell that they (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) their pants.

Enjoy your new found fun.

Andy,
I gently sanded the 75 - 76 FASTEN SEAT BELT lens from the dash until the lettering disappears. Then, I took the blank lens to a trophy shop and had them engrave the EJECTION SEAT lettering. Finally, I painted the face of the lens. When it dries, I gently sand on Emory cloth again. One more coat of paint, one more sanding. Finally plastic polish.

At least he didn't bring "petals" into pedaling or selling. Leave that to Yopu and the bath salts.
