Luckily the Mini alerts you quite well that you have a turn signal on. I have not gone too many miles signalling a turn LOL.

Haha, yeah, the Karmann Ghia has a tiny check light and no noise to allow you to know.

Doesnt matter, the lack of any insulation to the cabin of the car just lest all the engine noise in anyways, i dont even know why it has a radio in it!

Not-so-red,

Sorry but I can't remember. We only use turn signals on the track when we want to show where to be passed by a faster car. We don't have much of a chance to let it cancel.

Remember that my car is a race car. I don't want to be the one recommanding you what to do for the street. If you want an opinion, stick with the airbag, it may save your life down the road. I was merely trying to show what fits for race application.

Here is how I solved the open area behind the wheel. I made a quick template out of cardboard then scribed it onto a scrap piece of CF. I used some door edge trim to finish it off. I call it " functional bling "

i need to get my adapter on the lathe and knock down the side of that black ring, its so damn huge!

then i'll try and do something like what you have done, just in aluminum.

ehh whatever, its not on the top of my list right now.... it looks halfway decent for the time being.

I need to machine up a block off plate for the horn button.

I then plan on adding some button with the coiled wire as you have there.

gimme some time im only on day one of my wheel install, hehe
