New guy in the house! (sorry, I don't have a BMW)

[TylorWeaver]

So.. I thought I would go ahead and join, being that I've gone to a few meets already, and have met quite a few of you.. Phil and Mitch, included! :wave:

My cousin's a member, and currently rocks a super mint, super kleeeen Estoril '97 M3... gorgeous. So yea, he usually drags me to all the meets, although, I never object!!! :luxhello:

I've always wanted a BMW, and lately have been looking at an E92 M3, or just playing it safe and going with a new 135i...? ugh! Until then, looks like I'll be steady-rockin' my '05 S2000... Original owner, and no doubt, loving every second of it! :D

Just wanted to drop by and say 'yello!!!!! :thumbup1:


-Tylor

oh, and for those who went to the Varsity meet this last weekend, I was definitely in attendance :P here's my car for a little jog of your memory :D

[TylorWeaver]

Oh, and I forgot to add... Quite a few of you might be happy to know, I'm the Special-OE Engineer for a little company named Hella ;)
...just in case any of you happen to have any technical questions or such, regarding any of our lighting products for your fine cars.. :thumbup1: I'd be glad to help!:wave:

[Trout]

Ahh you work for Hella. Do you know Kornhause? He is a good friend of mine.

I love your car. As for not being a BMW owner, join the club. I don't own one either. Instead of owning a BMW, I just admit I am here becase BMW does make the ultimate driving machine.

hahaha.. yup! that's crazy! Scott Kornhaus is my best friend actually! lol!!! I've been here at Hella now for going on 2 years, and have been in the same position since... Scott is in Marketing now.. but, anyways...

Yes, absolutely.. I would have to agree, unlike Honda... (well certain models.. lol), BMW certainly has quite the driving machines! :mf_dribble:

Nice to meet you man.. I'm Tylor

[BMRSEB]

HELLA discounts?! :)

And welcome!! :wave:

[Philip]

Hey man! I remember you. I met you at 4ngifest. We were talking to Alex Roy. I think I still have your card somewhere.
Nice S2k, welcome to the Club.

[EnderM3]

AHHHHH an impurity!

j/k welcome, and tell Mr. Kornhause to send trout his replacement lens!

[SWINFORD]

Welcome :wave:

[TylorWeaver]

AHHHHH an impurity!

j/k welcome, and tell Mr. Kornhause to send trout his replacement lens!
haha.. Already spoke with Trout on the matter :mf_popcorn: lol

But, definitely! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!! It's great to be a new member on the boards!!


oh, and ps, no discounts ;) maybe a sticker or two.. haha, just ask :wave:

[e30bmw]

I seem to remember hearing someone talking at 4ngiefest about car lights. It might have been you. Welcome though.

[Trout]

Glad to have you here. Lens being broken aside, the Hella light made my car look great. Thanks for looking out Ender.

[dinanm3atl]

No discounts?

Geesh.

You should you don't need some driving lights for your S2000... wink wink

[TylorWeaver]

No discounts?

Geesh.

You should you don't need some driving lights for your S2000... wink wink

lol.. I have absolutely no CLUE what you're talking about... haha :detective:

[Philip]

That's pretty cool. How do they attach? (and how many rolls of blue tape is that?)

[TylorWeaver]

That's pretty cool. How do they attach? (and how many rolls of blue tape is that?)

haha, thanks señor! lol.. Well I had designed a light bar, and clamping system that will alow for me to attach the light bar through the grill opening, and onto the OE front subframe brace. All it takes is about 5minutes to put it on the car, and take it back off if I'd like. I already have the relays, and wire harnesses pre-wired and tucked away neatly under my hood, with the Female pigtails for each of the driving lights and fog lights neatly attached to my lower subframe. All I have to do to attach the Light Bar Assembly, is undo my OE front subframe brace, clamp the Light Bar onto the brace, re-bolt the subframe brace back onto the car, and connect the pigtails for each light up to the master harness, and I'm done. It's pretty trick actually! :mf_dribble: haha

Oh, and I think it was something like 3x 2" 3M rolls, and 2x 1" 3M rolls... haha, I started to just do my front bumper the night before, and eventually started drinking beer after beer, and ended up doing this kickass checkered stripes along the bodylines on the sides of the car... haha, I stepped back, and was like, you know, I bet it'd look kickass half-blue!! haha.. and yup, before you knew it.. 7 hours later, I had a half Silverstone and half 3M Blue S2000... hahahahaha

lol.. what can I say.. I had a little too much time on my hands.. haha :(

[Philip]

:lol: Cool.
I've been wanting to put 2 Hella 7" driving lights behind the mesh in my lower grill for a while. Too bad I have absolutely no reason to do it besides "it would look kick ass".

[TylorWeaver]

:lol: Cool.

Yea, well.. haha, I honestly don't like the looks of the light bar on my car.. haha, but trust me, function>looks!!!! :mf_popcorn::luxhello: Alot of people have ridden with me with the light bar on, and I have gotten nothing but compliments, and "Jesus, it looks like you've got the sun on the front of your car!!!" lol..

But yea, let me know, maybe sometime we can get together, and I can work out a light bar design/concept for ya... it should be relatively easy.. :)

buuuuut, you'll have to buy the lights on your own patna' ;) lol

[TylorWeaver]

oh, and I almost forgot to add.. I've done them before for some close friends of mine... :D

http://www.superhonda.com/photopost/data/519/medium/SNC11837.JPG

I'm also working on designing a fully integrated light bar for golf carts, for use of LED and Xenon forward lighting.. it's gonna be pretty sick!!! :)

[Mitch]

Welcome Tylor! Great to have you on the site man! :wave:

[Philip]

How much would something like that cost?

[EnderM3]

when the time comes to do something stupid with my highbeams I will be calling you.

[TylorWeaver]

How much would something like that cost?

For me, nothing.. ;)
For you, the cost of purchasing the lights on your own, and the cost of parts and fabrication of any/all bracketry.. My labor of designing it on my own time, and installing it for you, would be free of course :D :luxhello:

[TylorWeaver]

when the time comes to do something stupid with my highbeams I will be calling you.
lol.. sounds good... What do you drive? an E36? and what headlights do you have in there right now currently?? :detective:

[EnderM3]

yeah e36, have depo headlights.

I will be wanting to do something simlar to the quad 100w H4 powered 5.75" rounds I had on my last car, that can replace the high beams I have now. those were fun on roadtrips :)

Sounds good.. I could probably do a modular fitment into where your highbeam would regularly be located, and replace the reflector with a Eurobeam 146mm Driving Light and we would probably up the anty with some 130w bulbs just for fun ;) Now that'd be pretty pimpilicious :D haha

Screw lights in the grill! I want killer high-beams too.

[TylorWeaver]

Hahaha.. bleh, we might have to up the wire gauge a little though, I'm not too sure what an E36 runs stock for wiring.. I'd have to check my little book of tricks. I think we'd be safe though, we'll just have to pop in a larger fuse and go from there.. see if any of the wires catch fire first, then make changes... LOLZ!!

[dinanm3atl]

:lol: Cool.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww


Modding the high beams? Why?

It is installed in a harness, to run that kind of power you would need to build a relay harness with some pretty beefy wire. Lots of work for something rarely used. Why not buy a 55W HID kit for 100 bucks, plug and play and be done with it? You can't flash them anymore but flashing 130W highs would be extremely dangerous in an unshielded housing.

[TylorWeaver]

^I was starting to think the same thing.. then again, 'flashing 130w high beams and being extremely dangerous' is what makes it fun! ;) LOL, jk

[Philip]

You answered your own question.

Exactly. :detective:

[dinanm3atl]

Um what?

You want to be blinded by that kind of light coming towards you? When you can't see?

Up to a point sure it is kind of cool but when you get to the point of endangering people is it really fun anymore?

[Philip]

In a perfect world I would have laser beams/rocket launchers on the front of my car to vaporize ass holes. If I just blind them with 130W of Hella goodness they should thank their lucky stars that I'm not a billionaire like Bruce Wayne.

I know I have driven like an asshole before but remember when you wanted to throw a drink on someones car that was tail gating me?

Frikkin awesome! I've done that before with projects. You start something and end up getting carried away and before you know it, you have a half-blue S2000 :)

Welcome to cb.c.

[Philip]

I know I have driven like an asshole before but remember when you wanted to throw a drink on someones car that was tail gating me?

That ass hole definitely had it coming.

[dinanm3atl]

That ass hole definitely had it coming.

For tail gating? You should throw a drink on him?

Remember you said you threw a milk shake on someone for cutting you off?

Don't know if you should be recommending vaporizing bad driving :)

HAHAHAHA It was chic-fil-a lemonade, and that jack ass seriously almost killed me and then had to the nerve to laugh about it.

[dinanm3atl]

That is not the story you told Nick and I. You said it was a fresh milkshake and you threw it AT him after he cut you off and it exploded all over him.

This is Atlanta man, I would seriously be careful. That type of road rage and you will get dragged out of your car and get your ass beat.

I think at the time I was in such a white-hot blind rage that I didn't care.

Remember Nick's face? That is from a sucker bunch :)

Just be careful. Acting out your road rage fantasies is something I haven't actually tried yet. I don't want to piss off the wrong person.

I've been punched before. It's not that big of a deal. No reason to live in fear of ass holes.

[e30bmw]

I've been punched before. It's not that big of a deal. No reason to live in fear of ass holes.

I remember that story on NMR. About you getting drunk and getting in a fight in a bar bathroom.

And I could not imagine living in a big city. I have enough issues with the idiots here.

[dinanm3atl]

Live in fear? Why intentionally piss people off at the risk of bodily harm. That is just plain stupid.

I am done here.


Hi New Guy.

[Philip]

I remember that story on NMR. About you getting drunk and getting in a fight in a bar bathroom.

And I could not imagine living in a big city. I have enough issues with the idiots here.

LOL The bathroom guy didn't actually punch me. He pushed me into a wall and I punched him.
Twice.

[TylorWeaver]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaha, alright, so those were two funny-ass stories in a row right there.. lol, Throwing a Chick-fil-a lemonade at someone in traffic, and punching a dude in the bathroom.. LMAO... hahahaha, I am rolling over here Phil!!!!!! hahahahaha

But yea, I've had people before like throw their cigarette's out of their cars like right in front of me, and the butt bounces off the ground and makes a fine ash trail up the center of my hood and bumper.. ohhh, I've whipped around people before slammed on my brakes and threw a whole cup of ice out of my car at them before.. lmao.. like, how do you like that you douchebox!!!!? Seriously, I don't have roadrage, or anything.. but I seriously hate it, when others don't have respect for you on the road.. You've gotta show them what's up!! ya know?? lol

Oh, and don't even get me started on high beams.. I get flashed ALLLLLL the time for my damn low-beams!!!! :( lol.. so I'd wait for them to get like closer to me, like right about a car length away from my driver-side fender, and I'd flash my REAL highbeams (55w 3200k xenons) at them, honk my horn (2x Hella B133 Supertones and Hella Triple-Tone Fanfair Airhorns), and rev my engine up to 8k... like, talk about loud and annoying.. I just want to make them feel like total ass-hats... Yea, you idiot, my highbeams weren't on... would you really like to see them?? lol

But, seriously... Phil... you crack my ass up. LOL

[TylorWeaver]

Oh, and a quick ps.. I only act out on my roadrage against someone like driving a slower car than mine... ie; Toyota Camry's, Toyota Prius', Honda Fit's, any Hyundai, any Daihatsu, any Kia, Minivan's, SUV's, and some Harley ass-holes.. lol... Because with a quick downshift and press on the accelerator.... Confrontation avoided :)

So, like for instance, a douchebag driving a Camry cuts me off, then gets besides me and honks, I pull in front of him, drop all of my center-console change out of my window, and skoot! I'm gone. lol.. hahaha, jk..

But yea, I've only had one dude give me a hard time, but we was pretty big, and was driving a C5 Z06.. lol..
