Thank you. No, we do not. Once I came across this, it was a "must have."

When locking up for the night last night I got the dreaded headlamp up/down and roar. So I had the drivers side headlamp assembly out today and performed the 180 rotate on the motor gear! First time doing this was was much easier than I expected! Meanwhile I ordered a brass one to have on standby for the next time this happens

Custom LED Side Markers:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...e-markers.html





And of course someone starts making/selling LED side markers a month after I make own own. If they were available earlier, I would have bought them instead, However, the ones I made are 2 stripes vs their 1 stripe, so mine are unique and no one else has a set exactly like them.

Question Low oil pressure at idle LQ9 SWAPPED TA

I don't know if this is the thread for this but it will take 2 cranks to startup and die in reverse so I assume that's a tuning issue at startup gets 40 psi of oil pressure great then once it starts getting into the drive it will get to 20 at idle is this normal ? Is my gauge not reading correctly I just need some advice Thanks

looks really nice. Just wondering, what did you do to correct the front camber after you lowered it. Your front wheel camber looks stock. I’m striving to active that, but so far it’s not happening.
