I went out to Deals Gap this weekend with some friends for memorial day. Had an awesome time!! We did a few night runs (the place was clogged during the day with harleys) and noticed that some of the locals put light bars on their cars for better visibility around turns.

Was curious to see if anyone had mounted light bars on their FC and where/how they did it. I was thinking maybe in the FTP holes or in my hood scoop since i have a FMIC now. Also looking to update my headlights some.

Heres a youtube link of part of it during the day just kind of spirited driving, nothing super fast. Tons of wind noise, first time using a gopro so any suggestions are welcome .

 

 

Put the GoPro lower. You'll look a super fast. Hahah

Here's my video from DGRR - me driving my Subaru on the Dragon, chasing my friend's FC, 2 GoPros rolling - 1 in the bottom grill of my bumper, the other just above/behind the rear wheel. I used the audio from the front camera (it was a little more sheltered and closer to the engine) and covered it with music to mask the wind noise.

 

 

pinkracer- That does make it look way faster!!! Whenever i went back to look at my footage it looked so slow! Ill try mounting lower next time.

Trrapln- Two small light bars at the bottom? Any pics with them on?

 

I'll try and get some pics with them on and at night.

 

Well I have Cree led style squares with 6 LEDs in each housing . Has a really awesome output . Need them for my conversion . Also in the fogs I have 6 inch Hellas ko's in yellow

 

Best one I got with them
Off .man where you at here in Texas I'm in Austin . I just realized by the Texas antique plates . We good tell 2018 brotha . No more inspections for us .

 

Nice man thats a cool idea! I love how your front looks.

Yeah i dont daily my 7 it sits in my barn most of the time so i threw antiques on it. Im about 2 hours east of dallas kinda out in the country. I have some decent windy roads out here i hit sometimes but nothing like deals gap i love that place!

 

Off I-30 or 80? I've heard of DeKalb but I have no idea where it is.

Nice car unek87.

I am rocking the Classic plates as I daily my car. I still have inspection but it's only $7 and all they do is hand me a piece of paper for registration. I just renewed last week and they literally didn't even look at the car.

 

Off I-30 about 2 hours east of Dallas.

 

I just looked it up on google maps....that's the boonies dude, lol.

 

Thanks jk . I drive my almost daily also. My coworker has like 7 cars with antique plates that he drives . It's our loop hole . I mean granted we earn the right after we put so much into a 30 yr old chassis ( mines a 87se 4 lugger originally) .
Plus only one plate instead of 2
Here's mine after led lp installied
I rock mine with pride .

 

I really really thought about registering it as an antique, but I didnt want some D police officer pulling me over on the way to work.

The antique law is...

Never drive the car unless it is going to a service facility or car show...

"Mr officer, I am driving to a car show every day

Dont know how well that would go

 

That great thing for me is I work at Aamco transmissions as a transmission R&R tech . There's always something wrong with my car lol
