Default 2 Questions., Make that 3.

Where can I get those clear front blinker covers that replace the orange ones. I have seen pics of s2k's with them and it looks much cleaner and is there a way to make the ride a little bit softer? Even the slightest bump in the road is quite jarring, I know "thats how it should be" but even a little softer would be nice. Oh, and is there a way to adjust the dash light intensity? When you turn on the HID's they get a little to dim for me. Can that be adjusted? Sorry for the newb questions, but I just got this car 8 days ago and there was no owners manual. Took me a day just to find the gas cap release lever.

first thing you need to do is go over and register on http://www.s2ki.com
On the bottom left of the dash window, there's two buttons with + and - on them. Those are the dim controls. Clear side markers, and clear headlights can be found pretty easily, you can check out http://www.s2ki.com for exactly where to buy. Just do a search for clear headlight. The only way to make the ride softer is to get some aftermarket shocks and struts.

Clearing the headlight diffusers is not easy if you've never done it before. You have to take apart the headlight assembly, put in the clear diffuser(which you can purchase from RIck Hesel at s2ki.com) then bake it back together. YOu can get people to do it for around 150 plus the parts.

Just read the .pdf on installing those clear diffusers. Not sure if I am ready to tear apart my car like that yet. Anyone in the Seattle area doing installs?

You wont get that much help on here. register on s2ki.com, and go to the northwest regional forum and post there, or in the s2000 talk section.

Allow me to be the third to recommend you register and join http://www.s2ki.com

I've cleared out three sets of headlights here in the Seattle area. If you need help clearing your headlights feel free to email me. While I won't perform the work for you ('cause its a REAL hassle), I am more than happy to provide a spare set of hands and some expertise.

On a side note, the Seattle-area club members meet every Tuesday and usually a few other times a week. You should show up and meet the other members in your area!

If your ride is a bit harsh, you might want to check and see if you still have the spring spacers in your springs....might be a very big problem..check it out on your car...

and Register at S2ki.com...you won't regret it

Nah they aren't paying us. lol. This forum just moves real slow and you get advise from civic owners instead of s2000 owners!

Microbomb.....
To turn up the intensity on the dash lights, after turning the headlights on, hold down the plus button, and it jumps to the same intensity as if the lights are not on....works nice if you have your lights on during the day for any reason.

Thanks for all the info guys. I got on the s2ki board and the s2kca as well. Hey Jerry where do the Seattle area guys meet? I checked the calendar but couldnt find a location. I had a TT before this, and we used to meet at the Issaquah Krispy Creme. Thanks again.
