They are pretty cool. You can turn the DRL switch on (daytime running light led's) which are white. When you activate the signal, the white goes out and the led's flash amber. I'll have to get a video at dusk to show them off.

Couple new pictures with the wing off.... it's street look. Also I've added the front carbon winglets which are LED DRL's and signals. Finished with the carbon fiber accents. http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx322/MacLotus/Wide%20Body%20Conversion/IMG_8088sm_zpsf6f72dc0.jpg http://i768.photobucket...

For those interested, the car was just featured in European Car magazine (May 2014 issue). The car is running awesome and should be street legal next month (when the snow melts for inspection). Now running E85 fuel.

It worked out great. I love the car, but actually grown a little bored with track driving the same track (1000's of laps). I need a change of scenery. I feel the need to explore. And if you knew me personally.. I'm into a new hobby every 5 years or so. Now I want a light sport aircraft. As for the p...

I finally had the opportunity to do a few shakedown laps with the new blipshift system. It worked pretty good despite my rusty driving skills after darn near two seasons with the car up on jack stands. But what fun!

For anyone interested, here's the info on that auto throttle blip set-up I installed...

For years now, I have tried to ‘heel/toe’ while threshold braking and quickly downshifting, and while once in a while I'd nail it, most of the time it was an uncoordinated embarrassment. Sometimes even downright scary! Having the ball of your right foot slip off the brake pedal while swinging that h...

You picked up on that... eh Tut! Ahhh to dream a little.

Thanks for the compliments. Much appreciated. As for the next project, I would love a twin screw supercharger for the K24. With over 400whp, that would require hardened trans gears and some changes to the engine internals. But for now... I'm out of investment capital. Maybe the next project is learn...

Proud to have a leaner meaner twin.... I'll be the fat one with the big arse!

Thank you! Definitely... thank you.

Thanks Campbell! Don't really know anyone at Lotus but it surely had crowds around it at the track event!

Well, I finally had the opportunity yesterday to drive the car on the track. While esthetics have been a major focus throughout this widebody build, the purpose was to improve performance through significantly wider, lower profile Hoosier R6 tires as well as aerodynamic improvement. I truly had quit...

Thank you gentlemen. I do plan to shoot and edit a video this summer. Can't wait to share!
