Sorry Maxy. I didn't hear anything from you in a while so I thought you weren't interested. If you want, I will help you make them since you live so close. I rev on your slammed Dakota all the time by my girlfriends house.

 

What the hell is that mean Ramy?? LOL!! Just trying to support those who does an excellent job.. Garfinkle is awesome at customizing.. Just wait until my LIM and UIM... Its giong to be awesome..

I'll have to think about keeping you updated..

 

LOL...need polishing? Garfinkle! Need porting? Garfinkle! Need an oil change? Garfinkle! Need water? GARFINKLE! LOL I'm just kiddin w/ you man. I know you like him cuz he does great work. I was just teasin ya haha

What is he doing to your LIM & UIM??

Oh and Phil, if you don't keep me updated, you might as well change your cellphone # now, cuz I'mma be hittin it up like crazy lool

~Ramy

 

It's all good Herb. Ramy is all over my nuts too

 

LOL...so it's like THAT huh, Jeff?

 

 

haha.. That was petty funny Ramy.. No, I don't need Garfinkle for water, oil, nor porting.. Mostly polishing and... wait.. He is going to enlarge my wastegate.. I guess that's porting..

I can't tell you about my LIM and UIM.. you just have to wait and see.. Just like I had to wait.. LOL!!

Oh.. I'm going to change my cell phone number later on today.. Just for you Ramy!! I kid I kid! See ya man.. Is there another DC/VA meeting anytime soon?? I might come up there again!

 

OMG...ur KILLIN me Phil! lol. But I KNOW I deserve it, just like what I did to ya before Rotary Revolution lol.

Actually speaking of which, you're gonna FLIP when you see this! lol https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...0&page=1&pp=15

Ashley and a couple of the other the east cost 7's ladies will be there! Now I KNOW I don't even need to twist your arm to get you to come! hehe

 

well,

i dont want to ruin anyones business but after SS7, i might take the motors apart to figure out how it was modified..... i will have to contact Wael and see if he wants it kept secret...

 

oh btw, i love the lights!!! they have a really sharp cutoff as Jeff said they would! im in the process of figuring out where to mount the ballast!

 

you have a really nice car fumanchu, too bad its for sale

 

He posted his "secret" in a thread a long time ago. There's a cam-like aparatus inside with a following arm. The arm/cam are metal, and form an electric switch. When the stock light reaches a notch in the cam, the "switch" opens and shuts off the motors. Wael put some tape inside, on the cam, to break the "switch" earlier in the rotation.

 

I was under the impression that it worked like this as well. I had opened up one of the motors over the summer when I was planning to do a similar headlight upgrade. The only thing I couldn't get around was how to make the lights go down from their mid-height position. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it appeared that the conducting disc traveled in a complete circle (half on the up-path and half down) with three conducting tracks: one common (the middle track), one for opening the headlights, and one for closing the headlights. There were gaps in the conducting material on the disc on the outside and inside tracks to break the circuit and shut the motors off at the correct positions (peak height and closed). When you open the headlights, the circuit will be completed between the common track and the outside/inside track (I didn't get as far as testing which track controlled the up and down movement). The motor will run until the gap in the conductive material is reached. When you want to close the headlights, a circuit is completed between the common and other inside/outside track and the headlight motor runs until it reaches a gap in that conductive material. This point is 360deg from the original closed position and the cycle is ready to be repeated the next time you want to open the headlights.

If this is the case, breaking the circuit earlier means that the headlights will stop at a certain point on their up-path, but when you retract them, they will continue on their upward path (it will now be running on the "close headlight" circuit of the disc, but the arm that is connected to the disc and physically raises and lowers the headlight will still be in the "open" movement) until they peak at the normal height, then continue down to the closed position.

I have been thinking about alternative solutions, but haven't been able to pursue them lately with school and work (that and I realized I don't currently have the money to do the project anyway).

I would definitely like to know if anyone has any other ideas, or if I'm thinking about it all wrong.

 

Wael told me this is how the lights work.

 

If this helps at all...when you go to turn the headlights off, they go up first all of the way to normal position and then close.

 

those lights rule!

 

wow I like that KS kit. I like the other one better but it looks like a PITA to make

 

very nice. i like.

 

they look awesome and real mean! i'm still debating yours and the sleek type. it may sound silly, but won't these have a lot more considerable drag at speeds above 130mph?

 

Absolutely. Never heard of anyone losing a headlight cover - or even a headlight assemby lol - during some spirited night driving?? I have

 

Has anybody decided to make a kit for this yet? I'll volunteer my services to create a good, professional set of directions for it w/ illustrations, if you cut me in on a kit!

 

Um, yeah, if you're crazy enough to be doing 130mph at night.

 

HE SPEAKS! lol. What up Frank. Good to see you're still alive

Actually, I'm definitely crazy enough to do 130 and even 140 at night. Only reason: the area I live in was recognized as having the 2nd worst traffic in the US... second only to California (I think LA?). The traffic in the DC Metropolitan area is simply horrendous. So there really isn't ever room to make high speed runs w/ all the cars on the road...until late at night when it's all cleared up. 4 lane highway, wide lanes, open, very well maintained roads...and not a soul. Who can resist??

EDIT: Let me clarify that I was referring to NoVa when I mentioned the well maintained roads lol...as DC has more potholes than asphalt in some areas

 

hey fu! how about us FB folks?!?
