Default A little something

I have seen a few vettes with the rear quarter windows done with the distressed flag, thought I would give it a try. I think it looks good, just took a little patience.

I added more lights to the garage, so I can see every imperfection now


I still have another set I can install. I'm thinking maybe on the end wall, below the center stripe

Finally got a chance to hardwire the radar detector.



Adapter and mount from Amazon.

Installed LED marker lights and fender flares/spats on the rear….started on the front first and marker light install is super easy for all 4 but the front flare is a real PIA and needed a break.

I played around with Pi Toolbox which you can use to look at the PDR data in detail. There are many dozens of parameters plus you can create your own math channels. Pay no attention to the torque and hp...I'm still messing with those. If you watch, you may have to view it on YouTube. For some reason when I embed it here, the values are unreadable

Peak braking Gs were around 1.36 about 36 seconds into the run. BS'ing with the GSpeed guys, 1.50 is about all the stock system can handle. I've seen as high as 1.42 on less worn tires. Peak lateral Gs were 1.39 around 54 seconds in. Kind of interesting to look at this stuff to see what the car is doing. The "blue" run was a 1:20.4 and I was comparing the two but with the corded tires it's interesting but not necessarily useful.

Also bought new tires. Getting closer and closer to buying 18" wheels so I can run scrubs and perhaps save a few bucks. I run ~15 events/year and one set of the SuperCar 3Rs does 5. The math hurts!

I've been thinking about those. Amazon lights? Do they just plug into the outlet on the ceiling?
