d00d. The del Sol had a crazy power removable top called the TransTop in Japanese and Euro markets.

Talk about funky car robotics!

It was just too cold for top down. So no issues, at the restaurant.

CO's can dump threads where mere mortals can't find them. I suspect that is where the hottie thread ended up.

Tonight I'll be dropping the rear two portions of my Spugen Stainless Steel exhaust.
On Saturday I'll be running it out so it can be powdercoated.
I just hate the bling factor of the huge polished mufflers, as far as I'm concerned the only chrome that belongs on my car should be the huge oval tips, so powdercoating black it is.
Well last night went according to plan, in fact it was much easier to drop the two muffler pieces than it was to install them as I recall.

It took me more than 1-hour to clean up the left tip, the big oval tips are just a tad too big for the openings in the bumper when you factor in the high cornering loads of track work. The left tip really got into a portion of the plastic last year and melted the hole slighltl bigger. The challenge last night was to figure how to get that melted plastic off. I found hot water and a razor blade in a window scraper worked fine. I added a few scratches to the polished chrome surface, but nothing I'm concerned about, and nothing anybody will ever see unless they are laying under the car.

Tonight I have to work on creating the new bumper opening, I want to trim the holes slightly larger so I don't have to worry about future melts...

Boy oh boy, does it ever feel good to be beack in the garage working at night!!!

^^ Doug. Not sure if you wanna go this far with the car. But some owners have upgraded to AP2 bumpers due to the larger openings for the exhaust tips.

I'll be avoiding oval tips for when I choose the exhaust for my turbo at all costs. Too much aggravation getting things to fit with a bumper that wasn't meant for them.
