here they are:
oven 200F. light (one a time) on cookie sheet. 10-15min( i did 13min). mine had several screws around the housing and 4 clips on the bottom. i took screws out b4 oven.

once out of oven( they are hot ), used a skinny screwdriver and pry apart.

do want you want with the lenses, but DO NOT touch the shiny reflectors!

push lights back together without screws. put back in oven, 200f for 10-15min. push together fully and install the screws. done!
thanks. i do think im gonna give it a try. ive read the how-to a long time ago and it was pretty similar to what you said. i think it im careful i can pull it off nicely

o and actually i was gonna say that petey's avatar does look pretty BA

Someone suggested going to Denunzio's for tire mounting and balancing. How many have had experience with them? And where are they?

I'm sick of getting wheels ruined and not balanced properly.

Well he finally went 11's which is so awsome for a car with so little invested into it:

junk talon actually moves down a track

I used to go there all the time. They also have race gas.

Just explain to the guy that runs the shop that you take your wheels seriously.

I have never had a wheel damaged in any way there.

For sale.

Set of evo 8 Recaro front and rear seats. Make me and offer!

Autopower 4pt roll bar. $ 350.

Anything else you can think of that would come off of a stock evo. lol

I also have some wheels and tires. The wheels are Enkie CDR9's in a +40 offset. 17x7. They have a set of Michelin Pilot sport A/S on them. 225-45-17. The wheels are in good-fair condition and the tires a pretty much brand new. I'd like $425 for the wheels and tires.

Is it creeping or just spiking higher? (Is it hitting 25.5 psi spike or hitting 23 and creeping to 25.5 psi?)...What I am reading is your describing normal cold weather boost increase and with most mbc's you have to adjust once colder. If that is the case then turn the mbc back down till u hit the 23 psi target....
