Tein s techs installed, will be getting an alignment and putting buddy club p1s on Wednesday.

 

Guys, how do you remove the panel below the HVAC switch? Every DIY mentions removing it...but theres no obvious gap to use to remove it.

Thanks!

 

You mean the one with the cup holder light in it?

You have to pry along the bottom of that panel, theres a ridge along there. Pry 3 clips out from left to right and then the top will just hinge out.

 

i've had the fixed sparco bucket from a previous built and i bought a buddy club super low down mounting bracket about a year ago. finally got around to installing them in the car today at work.

 

Bumped into a bunch of Fits today!

 

Hmm. All my screw drivers must be too big or something. I couldn't get anything in there.

 

You need a panel puller with a 90 degree elbow to wedge under there.

Theres pics in my climate DIY show the exact place to pry at. Assuming i understand which panel youre talking about.

 

Nice view of the different front end options on the GE.. Mugen, modulo and sti lip.. Nice pic!

 

Got that panel out.

Got my JDM Hazard Switch in.

But what did I really do to my GE today?

Began to hate it, deeply.

 

Nice selection of cars!

Do yourself a favor and buy a set of trim tools, screwdrivers will end up scratching your plastic trim and even cause the panels to misalign. I had to remove the same panel you just did last week and these saved me a ton of time.

You can get them from Harbor Frieght for less than $10

5 Piece Auto Trim and Molding Tool Set

 

fixed my cowl from the previous cusco install. had a big gap, now at least its not so noticeable anymore.

installed some stickers...

 

I ended up picking up a set of them from Advanced Auto Parts for $15 or so.

The screws ended up being a huge PITA. Having big hands is a huge PITA with everything on this car.

 

Had a similar issue after my Cusco strut bar, fixed it during my shock install. Glad you got yours sorted too

Ah yes, I have the same issue space for tools is tough in this car

BTW.....Go Team Lewis, he had a good race today. Nico is pissed

 

Very nice pics ryu

Glad you got that panel out mike, its next to impossible with just screwdrivers

 

Thanks dude!

 

Woohoo!! Sussex county fun.
I'm from the Wantage/Sussex area and live in hackettstown now.

 

Changed the oil to 0w20 eneos from mobil1 0w20 Eco. So far the motor is a lot quieter than before and I'm netting 3mpg more over 600 miles.

 

lolz, Nico is such a buster.

I loved Lewis'/Seb's reaction to his complaints in the post-race press conference.

 

What I want to know is, what the phuck was he thinking? Hey I'm 2.6 seconds behind my teammate, I'm not making up any ground whatsoever, let me call into the team and tell them that my teammate is going too slow. I could understand, if he was consistently every lap making up .5 seconds and then dropping back because of the dirty air and also within the DRS zones, but he was not even in the DRS zone, so what exactly was his complaint? And then when asked in the press conference if he was in the same situation and his answer that it is not relevant, just shows he's lost it. He's broken mentally are my thoughts. He should think about going to another team, Lewis is just the faster driver and if he does in fact get the 27 million/year contract, Mercedes also believes their best hopes are with LH leaving NR as the RB of Mercedes.
