yeah, that was the idea

. i'm going to take my car to a hydraulic shop up at home, take my plastic car ramps and not come home til' i have some nicely routed hardlines made up with flexible ends.

i redid my camber plates, but haven't gotten the chance to install them yet.

Looks nice!! Want to make me a set?

ok, for right now, the camber plate idea is out. i've just got too much on my plate to deal with figuring out everything so that it works properly. i do have good news though....

taillights

and steering wheel!!

and wires!!! *hugs*

blah, there's so many wires!!! here's what i'm doing and why i'm doing it. i'm installing the autocheck system because the 5kt dash cluster doesn't have an oil pressure warning light... and i can't go without that. so the plan is to hook up the few features that my car can incorporate into the autocheck system, and then set up a dummy "ok" signal for all the rest so that the autocheck will still go through it's normal functions and keep me aware of the pertinent ones on my car. plus it'll look cool to have that actually working when the key is turned on and the dash comes to life.

note the bentley and another printed out wiring diagram...

so far i've weeded out about everything i don't need (wipers, radio, center console stuff). i just have to go through one wire at a time and hook it up and test it. i need to actually get power to the dash cluster itself so that as i hook stuff up, i can verify. i did get the fuel level gauge working already

after this is done, then i have to work the turn signal/combo switch setup into the mix. yay :roll:

it's just uber time consuming and not very stimulating, but i know that i need to get it done so that i don't procrastinate and have a bunch of stuff left incomplete when the car is actually on the road.

Is that the steering wheel you got from that one guy? I think I might need to plan for one of those...when I have some money. Looksa pretty-pretty nice!

Is that an Stebro exhaust?

derracuda · Post by **derracuda** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 9:49 am

yes and yes. the steering wheel is from CAC's paul fernandes of luxembourg (same with the taillights), and the exhaust is infact a stebro. it's nice and quiet.

Looks like fun

hmm, ok, maybe i can save me about 10,000 headaches....

4kq light symbol plate...

4kq light symbol plate after weight savings program..

5kt light symbol plate missing the door open light symbol (whoever needs a light to tell them their door open is :dur:)

loctite brand superglue to the rescue!

noticeable modification here....

not noticeable here 8)

ok, now i'm going back at it with the harness to eliminate all the autocheck garbage.... i jumped that ship pretty quickly

Looks good Derek,

I'm in the middle of splicing the AAN harness into the urq.
Boring work but important never the less.

Cheers,

Craig Cook.

yeha, no doubt. the autocheck system would have just been there for the "neat" factor. but as long as i have the oil warning light, i'll be happy

and you're welcome 200avant
