What did you do to your Type R today?

[_silvy]

Not with a dab of epoxy, JB Weld, or smaller dot of Gorilla Glue but that defeats the swap without removing wheel. I glued mine in.

Good luck getting your wheels balanced without paying $200 for center caps.

Just got some pictures back from a great track weekend. 1) I don’t remember those cows at all! 2) I was giving that Miata and M4 passes every other session-great drivers. To have them both behind me a the same time was a bit unnerving. But got em by safely. And most importantly, NO OFFS ALL WEEKEND!!!

True, TSWs came with caps though so I’m good. Capless for track is a sporty look but seems odd for a daily. Better to have separate racing wheels if feasible.

engine bay looks clean! Aside from what you mentioned is there anything else I need to be mindful of when doing this?

Foam gun ok for soap but switch to a light (cone) mist to rinse without high pressure jet action, just enough water to rinse soap.

Lots under hood water resistant for even rainy ops but are far from waterproof. Critical things like ECU have good seals but why test them?

Recommend not doing wash there too often, the MP (or others) do a decent job of repelling dirt, certainly better than nothing.

i bought depo clear ones like a month after the car came out on ebay for like $25. Ran them for years till i color matched my markers.

i liked them over the oem clears because the depo ones takes the factory amber design and just makes it clear. The jdm clears are too "altezza" like for me.

any reason why you are unhappy with the unity ones? i was debating on those cause i like how it looks similar to porsche clear sidemarkers.

The tab that holds it in place to the car wasnt like OEM, it didnt "snap" into place like OEM and when I would drive the sidemarker would start coming out. So id pull up somewhere and the sidemarker is hanging out sideways. If it wasnt for the bulb connection it probably wouldve fallen out.

Depo makes replacement headlights that are almost perfect replacements for OEM. I bought them for my Tacoma-just take the old ones out and put these in-perfect fit. Definitely a better value than the OEM replacements.

I wouldn't have any issue installing their side-marker lights.

exactly why I didnt wanna wait another month for the unity ones. they look cool but the oem style depo's are ?

This portion of the side marker on the unity isn't as good as the oem/depo, it doesn't allow my unity side marker to click in and stay...it just wobbles around.

I had this issue with my last side markers. I was able to push the metal on the inside of the fender toward the side marker and it clicked.

Yeah I didn't bother with that. My depo ones clicked in right away, no movement at all. Best $40 I've spent.
