ian_cupra's progression thread - track time

[ian_cupra]

i hated the t1-r and the t1-s, didnt even come close to the F1's especially in the wet.

i found toyo's wore out to quick too, tyre walls were rubbish, crap on the track too

Parada spec 2's gets the thumbs up from me as well, cheaper that the F1's which i do like as well.

How hard was it to remove the orange in the rear lights ian?

How hard was it to remove the orange in the rear lights ian?

took me about an hour in all, got to be rather careful with it though. As some of the orange is right up next to the reflective bits in the lights. Looks alot better, but to the untrained eye you can hardly tell

just one of those things i guess, i like it

 

[PhilW]

Thanks. How did you cut it out? Soldering iron?

 

[Mat]

I would like to try this, but don't wanna risk ballsing it up!

how do you take the cluster apart? And also avoid condensation in the future

yeah used soldering iron, just melt through it basically, then melt it up into pieces that can fit through the hole for the bulb

dont need to take it apart mat. dont think my rear lights have ever had condensation.

so you "access" the inners via the hole where the bulbs slot into?
