For a limo it has got to ride like complete dog poo poo. I'm willing to bet the people renting it have no idea what they are getting into until the fillings in their teeth are falling out

Mcqueen posted:I missed your thread and holy cow is that thing awesome Thank you! The guy who was going to buy it ended up backing out due to CT apparently being a huge pain in the rear end to get street legal in, so I've decided to take a bit more time with it and make it actually street legal here, rather than try to bull through the inspection. That means I need to install mechanical parking brakes and a laminated safety glass windshield, both of which will take a bit of fab work. Come spring I want to put a turbo kit on it as well.

Is it controversial to say that concealed headlights that don't deploy at the same speed are worse than static headlights?

If there's not a 25% chance or better that one of them won't move at all, it's not even interesting.

If you press the button on the dashboard of an NA MX-5 not quite all the way in a few times, you can get the headlights to start popping up and down on alternating sides. It's hilarious, but probably not good for the actuators.

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:Is it controversial to say that concealed headlights that don't deploy at the same speed are worse than static headlights? Yes. I think it adds character. I wanted to make the lincoln be able to wink but the headlight covers are connected by 4 big heavy bars specifically to appease people who think uneven opening = not luxury. The cougar used individual vacuum pots and there could be as much as a second difference on cold days. Maybe i'll do it to the corolla.

Also WTF is the car at 0:31? At first I thought it was a Countach, and I never realized how cool the headlights are, but it ain't. Is some Lotus or whatever?
