is 2500 too early?

[Silvercard]

Is there info on how to make the side markers do this?

[jed_averill]

Get some inverters and resistors maybe. I would do it with a microcontroller if I really wanted to and make crazy patterns.

Keep the engine within the upper torque band area to optimize efficiency and power.

Well put sir.

is 2500 too early?

Way too early...

There's more than a few threads on it...
Just disconnect sidemarkers (-) and tap a wire from the sidemarkers (+) to running lights (+) at headlights or bumper lights... Done.

The trick everyone's struggling with is getting them to blink in unison, rather than blinking staggered...

In my "profile" it says I've been referred 3 times.
What the crap is that...

anyone have a picture of the actual size of the H's on the stock center caps of the 2002 ep3 wheels?
I wanna paint the H's red and masking it with tape and cutting it out is kinda hard for me, "shaky ass hands"
Think it would be easier if i just print it out cut out the H logo and overlay it on the cap.

Definitely don't mask/paint!
Somebody sells the overlay stickers for cheap. I think DecalDude had 'em.. If not, probably eBay..
Just measure them and start searching...

If you get them cut yourself or by someone you know, make sure you use auto quality vinyl. It has UV protectant.
Good luck.

Was planning to plastidip them red, if I didn't like it i could just peel it off. I emailed decal dude and he told me he never made them.

I'm pretty sure Silly Puddy would have the same chances of staying on that Plasti-dip would...

Well just wanted to do it to try it out since i couldn't find any vinyls for the H's

Friend plastidipped his s2k wheels black and his logos red
Had them for about 5 months now and they still look good.


EDIT -

Does anyone know if this picture is the actual size of the center caps

Well I'm having trouble getting a quick response in the wheels thread. I need some lugs for aftermarket wheels, found some new RAYS lugs on CL for 100 bucks. Are these worth it or are 50-60 dollar gorilla just as good?

I mounted my amp into the back of the back seat. If I lay my back seat down, then throw some carpet or a blanket on top so I can put my bike in there, will that hurt the amp/car? The reason for the carpet is bike gets dirty sometimes.

Amps can get awfully hot
I would be weary about laying carpet on them

I think gorillas are just as good.
How good do you need them to be?

And these have to be used on aftermarket wheels, on your stocks, or other OEM wheels.
