« on: June 03, 2007, 09:01:17 PM »

Most of my pics are from last year, but here are some of the good ones:



And this one is from over the winter... backed it out of the storage garage and let it run for a little while, snapped a quick pic....eew..snow :shudders:

Gonna take some pics tomorow. Will post them soon...

I raced one of those new Grand Prixs with a V-8. I didnt beat him, but the TGP did me proud by not letting him beat me badly... Will have to post about it in the race section..

Most of my pictures are old too and I don't have a lot of the good ones hosted anymore. I'm planning on visiting a few places and taking some new pictures soon. Anyways, I feel sorry for anyone still on 56K that is about to try to view my post... :laugh:






^that's some shitty quick detailer(forget the brand, but it was greasy :icon_rolleyes: all over the car that I forgot to wipe off. :laugh: I'm going to retake some pictures like that soon.










Eurolite low beams...they're supposed to give a simulated HID look. They throw out a whitish light, but look blue under certain conditions.

Cool Blue high beams

The TGP is sorta in this one...


EDIT: Yes, I parked in a handicap spot(wanted to say that before anyone points it out)! That parking lot is at the local  softball stadium(UGA women's softball that is) and nobody was there at all. This was in the rear parking lot...it's a good ways from the main highways and the stadium + a huge hill blocks it out of view from any of the roads. That makes it a fun place to play around.

Awesome!!  It was worth the hour it took to download all the pics (56K) :laugh:

Matt, what brand are the low and high beam bulbs you are using?  They look really awesome and really bright- mine suck... I always drive with my highbeams on at night and never get flashed lol... my bulbs suck! :laugh:

On the other hand... today I washed my TGP, and it looked really stormy outside, so I put it in the garage.... it started POURING rain and hailing like crazy literally 10 seconds after I pulled the TGP into the garage.... talk about timing! :icon_razz:  So no new pics today for me unfortunately.

The low beams are "Eurolite" Xenon Crystal bulbs if I remember correctly. There are two versions of these(one is a higher wattage than the typical bulbs). I'm not sure which version I have, but I'll pull one out and check soon. I'm thinking they're the higher wattage ones because they're pretty bright. The high beams are Sylvania "Cool Blue" bulbs. They're really bright also, I love the composite lamps vs. the miniquads on my '93. :laugh: I will be putting some different bulbs in my '93 soon, and if they don't help much, I think I'll resort to upgrading the headlight harness and running some of the higher wattage bulbs available.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Eurolite also offers other types of bulbs that work well. My friend has some Eurolite bulbs in his car that throw out a white colored light. I think they may be "plasma" bulbs or either one of the other "xenon" lines they offer.

EDIT #2: I pulled one of the bulbs from my car and they have nothing but "Eurolite" and "55w" written on them. From pictures online, they appear to be the Eurolite Xenon "Fusion" or possibly the "Xenon Crystal" bulbs. The previous owner of the car installed these, I'll see if he can remember what they were.

I snapped a picture of one of those eurolite bulbs from my car by the way...

It didn't look bad in the old pictures I've seen of it. ;)
