try pushing on the tab with something like a screwdriver while you pull. it'll come off with the right forces applied

oh man that's funny because after i pooped my head off i realized the rear coolant hose was still on....d'oh! try an engine hoist on the head, that should get er off real quick (don't forget to triple check for remaining bolts as stated by others)

updated to include replacing all 4 targa seals

I was photographing a drift event in portland when it started to rain a little. The whole course was wet so I thought now is the best time to try out the old white beast without completely trashing the tires. Of course by the time I was up the pavement had dried out, d'oh! I spun out 2 or 3...

but do they just pry out or what?

i posted a link to my step by step, that looks like a really cool light setup but i went low-tech on mine. $14 all said and done. also, i didn't know you could pop the lenses out. any more info on how to do this without screwing everything up?

No, no spray shade and no vinyl stickers. In a few weeks I will revise them to taillights v1.1 with bigger circles to boot

I just tried 3 more times to get it sealed, on the last try i put plenty of RTV on both sides of the gasket and when I turn the hose on it still pours in. My light must be busted, because i tightened the other side a little more and it seals fine now. d'oh!

After replacing my crappy rotted out gaskets with brand new ones and cleaning the taillights and body, I still get rain leaking in. I tested with the hose and it is coming in between the top middle and top outermost bolts. If I push in on the light I can see the drip come to a stop, which...

Ok here's some daytime pics. The only parts that are out of round are where the glue has seeped onto the inside (messy me) so I'll do my best tonight to get that cleaned up. I think I'm going to put the amber parts back in so I can get as close to s5 tails as I can ;)

my white front turn signals are illegal too but i like them better than amber

i'll take pics today in the daylight and after i clean up the circle edges, in the meantime here's the writeup http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10297

you have an NA car with the 1 wire sensor, right? us turbo guys are not so lucky

the actual difference (besides the obvious) is that bolts turn into the head as you torque them and the studs don't. Torque readings are supposed to be more accurate on studs because they don't have to deal with the friction of turning the whole deal

I don't have an amp picked out yet, the head unit is kenwood mp-228 and the polk sub is 4 ohm but i don't know the max power i can run through it. Which is fine, because i'm not looking for a hard hitting sub, just a modest setup where i can hear sub 100Hz tones instead of the stock 4"...

Right now i have a cheap kenwood mp3 playing deck with 1 set of 2V preamp outs. My 4" door stockers are almost completely blown and they sound like ass :3d_frown: Soon I will have a set of decent 5.5's waiting to go in plus a nice polk 12" sub, and here comes the amp question. Assuming the amp...

un plug the dvd player and see if the car starts. prory a dead battery
