Hey, Double T,
I was watching a Aston Martin switch lanes yesterday and the LED's in the front lights actually blinked like the blinker. Unlike the German Audi's that simply turn off when the signal light turns on. They were a yellowish and came up like an arrow in the front center part of the headlight.....way cool effect. Have you ever seen the Aston's turn signals? I think it's a real possibility to incorperate that idea with the way you already designed your headlights awesome headlights. Nobody could ever come close to what you've already done. You are a pioneer already! Props amigo!! I've been dreaming about your headlights for weeks!

Been a while
Hey gang. I apologize that I have not posted up any replies in a while...I have continued to be very focused and busy at work. With the economy being the way it has been lately, I have found it necessary to work a lot lately. So, I have not been working on my car 
.
The tuner from NY has been so busy with things up there, that he has been unable to come here to tune my car.
So, I have had to search for another tuner once again. I have fortunately found one of the best tuners around, and he happens to live right here in Orlando. Plus, he has tuned Autronic, so that is a major plus.
I have also been awaiting the Autronic Reluctor interface module so that I can connect that to my stock ABS system for traction control to work on my Autronic SM4. I ordered it over a month ago and it is finally on its way to me. So I will hopefully have it by Thanksgiving. If so, I will install it next weekend, and I sould then be able to do a final review of everything to make sure I am ready to tune the car. So, luckily, I live in Florida, where it does not snow, and the winters are awesome so that I can tune my car in December and drive it around in the brisk cool air...
.
I also had a leak from the crappy water neck that has been welded and re-welded and just is not repairable, so I had Shane (SCUPRA) make one up for me. He went way beyond the call of duty here...It is machined from a single piece of stainless, and it is gorgeous. Shane always does things right...Take a look. I may install this tomorrow, depending upon how I feel, as I am under the weather with a very sore throat right now, and have been trying to take it easy this weekend...

BTW, I want to post up a pic of my stunningly beautiful wife...She is not only beautiful outside, but inside too. Compared to my car, she makes my car look like a rotted out stick. I may not keep this picture up long, but I just wanted to post this up for at least a little while here. She is a wonderful woman, and is the most loyal, dependable and reliable woman I know...

Deer Ryan and your lovely wife - hello!
I regret that I do not know the name of your wife - a beautiful woman!
I heard an old legend. Very long on the earth lived only by men. Good gods decided to change the order and sent to the Earth aliens - were women. Since then, the earth appeared the love and happiness, the sun was shining brightly, and the night sky, sunbathing at the stars.
I give your wife a gift - a Russian song "Очи черные - Dark Eyes" sung by the great Fyodor Chaliapin: http://rutube.ru/tracks/607845.html
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely, Vadim.

R,
Glad you are pleased with the piece. I just couldn't bring myself to hodge-podge some random pieces welded together for your build. It would have been a sin to have not made something spectacular, since it is so visible on the top-front of your amazingly beautiful engine.
Tell your wife I said hello. I should be back in FL for the majority of December. Maybe we can get the rest of your car knocked out, and then go have some spirited celebration driving!
