Alright,, I am in the process of making the clear side markers. I read from past posts that to access the sidemarkers you need to remove 4 screws and bend the plastic part back. Well,, I removed 5 screws, and I dont feel anything budging. I am afraid that if I apply too much force I'll break something. I do not wish to remove the entire wheel,, I know that people have suggested that in the past but I would rather not,, and just try to do it w/ a tight squeeze. I would really appreciate any help, & I would like to try to do this before it gets dark out. But if anyone has some experience PLEASE help me out here!!! Thanks alot,

where are u gettin 5 screws from??? there should only be 2 on each light. all you have to do is twist off the bulb, then unscrew the two screws that holds the housing in place and it comes off with VERY little force. matter a fact, if u need to apply force your doing something wrong cause it should come right out. and where are u gettin this remove the wheel thing from?? there shouldn't be any reason u should have to do this unless u like wasting time and energy.

 

Sorry,, maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been. I haven't been able to access the bulb yet, I am attempting to access it from the wheel well by supposedly removing four screws and bending it back and reaching in.

 

remove the screws .. and pull I dont know if the pic shows all the screws but you should be able to tell.

its not too hard to pop the side out .. but not too easy either.

 

Thank you thank you thank you SDSC300. That helps immensely, im gonna go out and give it a try. I really appreciate it. Wish me luck!

good luck ... I dont think you'll need it though

 

I like that tread pattern... SDSC300 how do those tires grip for you?

 

Is that a Kumho 712?

 

yup.

 

they seem to be pretty good for a cheap tire, I can still do a minor peel out(265) and get the back end out around corners if I want.

 

I'm also using a 265-35-18 in the Ecsta 712, great deal for the money, did you know they have the same carcass as the Victoracer autocross tyre? It's interesting the way they handle at the limit though, no warning, no noise, no gentle slide-out, you're doing 80 down a banked exit ramp and allofasudden BAM, instant big-time oversteer, the car rotates 90 degrees on it's axis. What's great is that I find these tyres to be extremely recoverable. I took the car in for an alignment a couple days ago, he said it was actually toed-out a bit, and made some changes, after it was done I went to test it out and pushed the envelope a little too far on a wide sweeping ramp, and got the same thing, instant violent 90 degree spin clockwise, but when I let off the gas, turned into the spin, turned back out, and then accelerated, it came right back to me and slid right back into the groove. This is about the fourth time i've spun and totally recovered with these tyres, their ability to be brought back from a powerslide is great IMO, and they're like crackhead cheap! I was ready to buy some G-Force T/A's, an autocross buddy talked me into trying these, the BFG's are still much better, but the Supra 712 is king of bang for the buck, and really great in the rain. I was in Firestone the other day and he told me they are the parent company of Kumho.

P.S. - My bad, back to clear sidemarkers

 

thats what im running too the 265/35/18 and I agree that the tires seem to be pretty quiet when sliding .. now I haven't pushed it quite has hard as you .. or hard enough to lose my rear end ... yet *knock on wood* but when the rear is out it comes right back when turned into.

oooh yeah sidemarkers ... SilverBolt did you figure it all out?
post some pics once your done.

 

In first spinning mine, is hardly a bark on flat ground. They'll spin but quiet. On an incline, they make some noise. I've kicked the rear out a couple times and am pleasantly suprised at the way the car returns to the groove. This car is sweet.

The huhmos on the accord are quiet also. Burnouts in the stage lane are quiet and smoky. While the accord is no show stopper in performance numbers. Ready to set it up for autox.

 

:eek: Thread jackin'

 

Like a mercedes at a dark intersection in Compton after midnight.
