Sequential/Chaser Taillight install
Project car: Sabine’s 04 Mustang
Item: Meter4it Sequential/Chaser taillights (http://www.meter4it.com/96-04_mustang.htm)
Difficulty: 8/10
For this install, the instructions are your best friend. The wiring can get very confusing and following them to a “T” will be your best bet. The install is just simple wiring connections to the stock harness, and 1 install of a new flasher relay, under the dash.
Some pics of the install after the jump

New year, new look
For now at least. It’s not exactly what I wanted, but it’s better than what was up previously! I’m still working on it, but I’m always tweeking it to make it perfect! lol
New car to the AJS Racing fleet!
So with my new full-time job, comes the need for a more practical car for daily driving. The 400 HP foxbody does just fine as a daily driver, but it’s not the most practical of cars to commute to work with. So after some thinking, I’ve decided on a SVT Focus! I’ve been looking for a few weeks now and looked at some cars at the local dealerships. The three that I have found local are very beat up with high mileage. So I’ve had to expand my search. In my searching, I found a 2004 Sonic Blue with only 53,000 miles on it down in Georgia! Sabine will be going to take a look at it for me, and if all goes well, I will be going to pick it up the week after! Stay tuned with pics and an update on the car!
This car will be staying as stock as possible, keeping it as SVT built it with maybe some slight visual changes but not much keeping the styling of the SVT.
Stay Tuned!!!
Lego V8! All Done!!!
The V8 has finally been finished! Here is the Video!
I’m really happy with how it came out! I changed it up some, and straightened up the throttle bodies. But everything works just like its supposed too! All in All it took me about 5 hours to build, over a 4 week span. Most of the down time was waiting for the parts to arrive from all around the country. Enjoy! I know I do!
Lego 32V V8 DOHC
Yes you read that correctly lol LEGO DOHC V8
Since I’m unemployed at the moment I’ve had some free time, Sabine sent me a YouTube link, and it was a working 32 Valve DOHC V8 that somebody had built. I’ve always like Legos, have in my room all over the place lol, but i thought it was really cool! Then I look at the info for the video, and he made building instructions, and a parts list! SO! for the past month I’ve been finding pieces to build it!
In the extra pieces I had laying around, I had 800 out of the 2,862 parts needed. So I needed more pieces. Come to find out, there is a site called BrickLink.com. It’s pretty much EBAY For Lego pieces. So I’ve been ordering everything I needed through that, piece by piece. I have orders coming from Austrailia, and I even had one come from Hungary!
But here is my progress so far, still awaiting more pieces!
Here’s one of the Pistons, and the Distributor:
Here’s the Clutch and the Bellhousing:
Here’s the Cooling Fan:
and here is part of the throttle Body. The black pieces in the middle are the throttle plates, which will open when ya press the “throttle”
When its all done, it will look like this…
and here is the Video that started it all lol
