JamieP Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Anyone seen this before, my headlights don't like these top speed runs, started to split, only a couple of years old. They look really bad after last nights runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Never seen that before with the lights, probably worth posting on Supraforums. UKs would probably solve it, though it wouldn't look as nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Maybe to do with pressure difference inside the light being low. And the air pressure on the outside being high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I wonder if the front of the car might twist a bit under heavy accelleration, just enough to put stress on the light units to make the plasic sheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey. Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Those lights have got really bad since we noticed it at ryans a couple months back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Those lights have got really bad since we noticed it at ryans a couple months back. Yup, they was the same as you saw them till last night, noticed this morning how bad they are, both the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I cannot see that the whole headlamp twisting would do that, the rubber sealant round the clear plastic should flex enough to cope with twisting. It does look like it is air pressure pushing against them, perhaps combined with the heat. It was quite a warm day yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleyh_15 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Stock hatch weighs 27kg, seibon carbon/lexan hatch weighs 12kg. 15kg difference that is surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 J is that the deep dish wheel cant see from that pic?? like the sparco version?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Yeah deep dish, £120. Seibon hatch don't seem to be a great fit, big gaps that I'm not happy about, think I'm gonna swap it for a knightracer one tbh.
