I didn't do the front windshield. The Disco 2 side glass is flat so that minimizes distortions. You see a *little* bit of a "wave" in your view if you put your face near a window and then look through it at an extreme angle forward, say, 30 to 60 degrees. Just normal viewing (perpendicular) you don't notice a distortion or wave.


Window tint might be as much as 2 mils thick. I used 12 mil film. If I do it on a future vehicle I think that I'll go with 32 mils (9mm/.40 cal protection) now that I have the first clue about what I'm doing.

 

Love my KO2's. Did you check Tire Rack?

 

Prior to 2013, side windows weren't laminated, they're just tempered safety glass. Starting in 2013, laminated side glass began being phased in under federal law (FMVSS 226 occupant ejection mitigation), but not until the 2017 model year were all vehicles required to have the laminated glass (Saflex, Guardian). With loopholes, there will still be cars sold in the US in 2018 with old tempered side glass.

Of course, there's a backlash to this with some safety experts (and some first responders) saying the beefed up front and side laminated glass is more difficult to break, especially in a submergence scenario, causing delays in occupant extraction and escape.

 

Finally got around to replacing the Evap Purge Valve with the Hyundai part. Haven't been driving it much. It's been roughly three months, but only a few miles (less than 100mi) since it needed replacing. Hope that didn't foul up my O2 sensors and plugs...

 

Tires are in. I appreciate the design and think it compliments the D1. These are Treadwright tires. I drive it less than a 1000 miles a year, no need to spend a grand on tires. I got 4 of these for less than $300.

 

Rubber cones are ko'ed


Replaced them with steel studded ring + steel cone from terrafirma. Also used rear spring isolators underneath

 

Shipping to Canada would be more than the tires.

 

Hey, Toronto here, try PMC tire in Quebec if you don't mind the lack of return ability long term.

I used them for my Subaru Wheels and Tires, service was very good.

 

Got my exhaust tucked in

That looks a hell of a lot better!
