AHTOXA's new GTO

[1974Alfa5spd]

No, it does not get more pronounced during turns. In fact I have not heard it at all during turns. Orignally I suspected a lose exhaust mount. The noise seems to come from the mid-back on the right side.

Look for a busted stabilizer link. They're kind of dog-bone shaped and right behind the brake disc.

And be sure to use Rope-Pusher brand stabilizer bushing fluid, in the purple bottle, next to the Bars-Leak.

HIDs are in. Awesome, not sure what I ever did without them.

55w 6k.

Please tell me you did it right, with HID-specific housings/reflectors...

We need pictures, stat. Pictures of the lights, pictures of the old lights, pictures of the old lights on a garage, the new ones, EVERYTHING.

And yes, HID specific housings or bust.

Goat uses projectors. Yes, it was done right. I checked and the cutoff is great and clean. No hot-spotting, glare and weird light patterns.

I have been skeptical about HIDs with these projectors but having seen installs, light patters, cutoffs, beam spreads - it works very well. In fact, reading the reviews on the GTO boards there was no known aftermarket projector setup that worked better with HIDs than stock.

Pics of the 6k's, I want to get some either 5k or 6k. I don't want ricer blue though.

However, I will go ricer with the 3k fogs. Only cause I love yellow for fogs on blue cars.

[AHTOXA]

Pics to come. Busy drinkin. They do not look ricer blue at all. I like it.

at least you have your priorities in order!

After looking at a lot of GTO's lately since my neighbor drives one too I'm really starting to like them. I think it's a definite possibility for my next car. Still got a long ways til then though!

If there's so much sunlight that it drowns out your headlights, I think you probably don't require your headlights to be able to see lane markings and signs.

I don't really follow Ash's post either in this case.

Regardless, I have disabled the DRLs when I installed the HIDs.

[AHTOXA]

I can't say that I've ever notice what you speak of. There's normally enough contrast to see regardless of the outside light conditions or the light type on the vehicle.

Just bumping this with a recent crummy pic. More to come when I get a hold of a nice camera sometime soon.

Alright I'll be the first to say it. I'm not a fan of the new springs. It looked sportier with the rake. Now it just looks low, bulbous, and dare I say it, fat.
