You clearly need to mod the base to project at a different angle.

 

its bec the light is wayyy too bright so it looks like all the light is only hitting the door but its only half the light. just checked it in the dark and it is way too bright. i already fixed it by adding 3 layers of light diffusing paper behind the lens. ill take a pic of the placement when i get home. there isnt much room to move the light

 

this is after dimming... 3 layers of diffusion paper and it is still bright as **** lol...

 

Show some pics
Interested in how it came out

 

Nice cake. Pics like that make more sense lol.

 

Mine is doing it too.. I gotta check my belt but im probably gonna do the idler delete mod and shorter belt.. Gonna eliminate all possibilities lol

 

thanks for the advice...but.. no

i need to just change the pulleys and belts. never use that belt dressing.

tomorrow planning to first install my re-manned driver side window motor. then maybe work on the belts/pulleys.

i need to buy a wideband so I can log some runs on Osiris since the ecu on the 03 coupe doesn't retain a/f values for logging on Cipher. What is everyone using now? I've always used AEM, but there is Innovate, PLX..etc. Heard horror stories on all of them at some point.

Also possibly re-designing my exhaust this weekend to get rid of that ebay 2500rpm rasp.

once i get that sorted and a wideband installed, it's time to hit the dyno.

 

I'm interested as well.

Although $200 for the corner rip repair sounds a bit high. Unless you had more rips on yours. I have the corner rip on mine since I bought the car, but now its really starting to bug me. Hopefully it'll be less than a $100 to fix.

Sometimes I also get the belt squeal on cold mornings or when the car hasn't been driven for a couple of weeks. Its a sign of loose/worn belts, so replacing them is the proper thing to do.

I've used lubricants to make the squeal go away but it comes back. I'll have to replace my belts in the near future.

 

Lowered the car on 350z S Tech Springs and replaced the shocks/struts. Still need to put in the SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts. Also added authentic JDM clear corners w/o bump. Lastly I got some new tires, the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport and Wow do they grip.

 

Getting your seat fixed is definitely worth it, just make sure they do something about the sharp edges that cause the rip in the first place.. I got mine done and I noticed the leather rubbing on those sharp spots.. So i have to do something about mine.. But here is what my old seat looked like compared to a fixed one.. They are not the same seats, I got a new seat with a slight tear, got it fixed and replaced it..

 

At least one part of the seat looks good

 

I still don't understand how something under the leather would cause the top part of the leather to tear per the tsb. I think its jus a weak spot n shitty leather.

 

I need to replace the leather on my drivers chair too, it doesn't look as bad as the pic above! I believe the tear is caused by something on the outside edge, happens to everyone. Hit one of those parking lot stops this past weekend, dislocated the right side of my KurumaZ bumper and destroyed the under shield. Order a new one from TBW and installed it this AM. Just for fun I polished the underside the night before. Major rain coming Saturday evening thru Monday, SLICK will stay in her garage since she's clean and polished...Gary

 

my seat just ripped last week =( and while it isn't bad yet I'm already looking into getting it fixed. can a shop simply match the leather or do I need a sort of paint code of leather

 

If u think about it when u sit the leather should stretch inwards thus relieving it off rubbing the outter edge side. Funny thing is since fixing it with vinyl that edge hasn't ripped
