Sven's Prelude

Meanwhile i'm doing a ledstrip conversion into another cluster to have bright white dials.

Tell me more about this.

It's just like what this guy did:

So, I scraped the amber of my other oem dials and I put them in the package too. So it would be: pop the needles off, pull the dials off, place the other dials and put the yellow needles back in.

This video shows exactly how you don't do this. You can't find anymore a working gauge cluster on the net because of this guy.

[Sven]

Ow ok, good to know then . So how would you do it, to get white light for the dials?

[xtuners]

The part with the illumination is ok. This will work fine in your case. But the way how he pulls the gauge needles .. nooooo ,, hell no!

[xtuners]

and?? Got time to put the gauge cluster back in?

[Sven]

Hi, yes, I did it this weekend and it works like a charm.
I will post a picture when I have the time.
Great work BTW.

Here is a pic of my cluster that xtuners fixed for me

Sooooo, after storing my EP3 rims in my room for almost a year, I finally bought some tyres. I'm gonna fit them this afternoon.
The tyres are Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 K120 215/45 R17. Now all I have to think about is the type of lugnut i'm gonna use (+the little adapters to fit them on OEM wheels.)
I was thinking about some Muteki ones, the Neo chrome or the titanium versions.



Oh and there is also a picture of the cusco rear strut I bought of Mills.

Don't mind the amp
So now the next update should be the paintjob, hopefully next month, or in april.
I will post a pic of the wheels when they are on the car.
Cheers, Sven
