What have you done to your car today? - Page 100

marcs_sp20 · 10-07-2009, 07:06 PM

Ripped apart the inside of the car

Also took the cd player out so I can mount it properly...

Pettos · 10-07-2009, 07:10 PM

Just looks like you made a **** load of mess... LOL Nice shift boot

marcs_sp20 · 10-07-2009, 07:17 PM

and it all took 30mins

the centre console (where the drink tray is) just pops out, you pull he centre dash peice out by pulling from the air vents, and the door cards by unscrewing them out!

It'll look awesome after sunday

Hahaha, you got your pic!

Clean_Cookie · 10-07-2009, 07:18 PM

unfortunately - i think i will have to return my car, they did a GREAT job on the paint and panel beating, but rushed the rubbers and seals, the ones along the roof are loose, the ones on the windscreen are 100% not waterproof etc... sucks but i really need it to be in the same condition as when it went in!
any suggestions?

also completed HID light install. Installed on the High beam and left the low beams as stock, should keep me out of trouble from the police, but as advertised, 350% more light. werent the cheapest out there - but with a 12 mth aussie warrenty thought it was worthwhile.

marcs_sp20 · 10-07-2009, 07:20 PM

if you deem it to be not to your satisfaction, take it back...

Brisbane_boy · 10-07-2009, 07:44 PM

Hey marc looks like ur had some fun, just a quick question. can you turn ur headdeck on when the car is off ie. key is out ??
On mine i can and i think it isnt right.

marcs_sp20 · 10-07-2009, 07:48 PM

lol nope, I think ya wired it wrong

Brisbane_boy · 10-07-2009, 07:51 PM

yer i think i have. Ill have to pull it apart tommrow and muck round with it

scott b · 10-07-2009, 07:57 PM

just a mix of the acc + and the constant 12V+, i would imagine anyway.

project.r.racing · 10-07-2009, 08:10 PM

ya that be it. constant 12V must be wired up to the HUs acc imput wire.

scott b · 10-07-2009, 08:21 PM

yeh, but i thought that would make it stay on even when the car is turned off, and not just be able to be turned on when its off

Brisbane_boy · 10-07-2009, 09:41 PM

whats the acc imput wire???

I remember when plugging in the positive i got to 2 wires from the car going into the 1 positive on the head deck.

I think there is only spoced to be 1. Im assuming its the 1 that turns on only when the car is on??
If anybody knows if thats correct it would be greatly appriciated.

(my friend said he had installed heaps of HD so i got him to help me wire it)
Maby next time ill just try figuar it out

:S, there should be two from the car and two on the head unit. theres a constant 12V which is from the battery and the ACC+ which is what turns it on/off with the car,

derb · 11-07-2009, 11:16 AM

fresh royal purple 10w-40 and a new filter done this morning. added a little Lucas oil stabiliser to the mix as well for the lifters. my solid shift bushings have arrived too so hopefully i can get them put in next week, and then i'm turning up the boost 2 more psi to 12. i've spent my ownership of the car on 10psi thinking the cut was at 12, but now i know better and it should be even more fun!

Brisbane_boy · 11-07-2009, 12:25 PM

sounds good derb. should deffnitly feel a difference with higher boost.
I fixed my electrical problems today. thanks for the help guys it is exactly what you had said it was scott and PRR.
Thanks again.

70NYD · 11-07-2009, 12:48 PM

yeah man im glad u worked it out, its the worst when u screw one wire up you screw the rest of them up (i did sooooo many times for speakers lol)

Brisbane_boy · 11-07-2009, 12:52 PM

yer im happy now. Iv just been mucking around with my new HD and its got bluetooth so i can call and recieve calls from it. I think it might be to distracting with DVD tv bluetooth GPS.
