Crashdummy's Release Series 1.0 build
Hello all!

Haven t experienced any of the crickets, or other stuff that ppl complain about. I can live with the small rattles and the road noise, just the electronic babysitters I can do without. The babysitters are no more! :) Most of the mods right now will be non performance type. I still need some time with the car and more input is need for me to decide which way to go. Edit: Have 12,000 Miles on her now and all is well.

Diode Dynamics Front Fog Lights - Done New Fog Light Stalk - Done JDM Clear Side Marker Lights - Done Hella horns - Done Clutch Spring Removal - Done Tint license plate lights - Done Front Fog lights According to the wiring diagrams, this FR-S is pre-wired for factory fog lamps all the way to the front end. :D Pin 4 White wire http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110086.jpg Pin 3 Red with White stripe and pin 5 White with Red Strip at the BECM http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110084.jpg Look for these connectors where the turn signals extension plugs plug into http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110081.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110080.jpg Pull them down, and 3 of the 4 pins are populated on the turn signal extension plug, on the car side, all 4th are there. The missing pin on the extension side is for the fog light. http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110087.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110088.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110091.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110092.jpg Thanks to my friends at International Auto in Sheboygan, I got a hold of the correct weather pack pins to put in the connector and also the H11 connectors http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120003.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120006.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120008.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120010.jpg Assemble? http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120020.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120023.jpg Installed the clear corners also http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120014.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120015.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120017.jpg New Fog Light Stalk with Rear Fog light option: Steering wheel removal http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110103.jpg Clock Spring removal MAKE SURE YOU DONT MOVE IT OR TWEEK IT TOO MUCH you can damage it! http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110102.jpg Switch Assemblies removed http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110104.jpg Push this tabe to remove the wiper switch http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110108.jpg Push wiper switch into new for light stalk assembly http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110109.jpg Install assembly back on to steering wheel column, and return clock spring assembly and mount steering wheel http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110113.jpg Test? http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110116.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120011.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120012.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120013.jpg :party0030: Success! Must have been left ON in the BECM from the factory. In testing all the options, the fogs only come on when the headlights are ON, and go off when the brights are turn ON in either Flash mode or constant ON. Hmmmmm I like driving with my park lights and the fogs ON at the same time, without the head lights, Hmmmm, figure that out later... on to the rest! Hella Horns Removed the Stock horns http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120024.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120025.jpg Wired up http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120026.jpg Made custom mounting brackets for them http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120032.jpg Connected to factory horn wires http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120033.jpg Horns and Fogs grounded to factory ground points http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120035.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120036.jpg Finished http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8120028.jpg Clutch Spring Removal Tools needed Hook Tool - your best friend and some times your worst nightmare Flat head screw driver - aka combination pry bar, paint scraper, scratch awe etc http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8130001.jpg Pull the C Clip off and then push in the clutch pedal, at the same time, forcefully pry the pin LEFT and it should pop out, release the clutch pedal. You may have to move the top around for it to get it all the way off. Once you get the top off, you can pull the C clip on the bottom and that pin Left too, and should pop out easly. I can tell a difference right a way without even driving it! We will have to see in a few days:burnrubber: http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8070015.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8070018.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8070016.jpg Tinted license plate lights They were too bight IMO, so why not darken them A lil VHT Night Shades does the tick! http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110065.jpg http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8110063.jpg thats all for now, have a good one................ |

day after last
Didn't accomplish much today, but one thing:
Install Bug Screen in front of condenser To keep the bugs and rocks from damaging the A/C condenser, you put a screen infront of it. Have done this on all my cars, really does the trick. A bar of aluminum, some screen, glue and a strip of vinyl and wa-la, ready to install http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8130004.jpg A little epoxy trim adhesive on the bottom to bond it to the frame Not worried about it looking perfect on the bottom, it gets completely covered http://www.exoticautorestylers.com/i...0/p8130005.jpg more to come! |
The bug screen idea is a good one. Nice build so far
