Yup. trust me I know too.. 

 

But i was paying for the important stuff first.. getting the car driving the way it should.. which it is now. So seats and a new wheel will prob be next on the agenda.

 

The project is starting to come together now.. And im starting to get happy with the car.. 

 

I pulled up next to a 180sx and a suped up rex today.. they where crusing infront of me.. they didnt know what hit them when i hit the boost and pulled up next to them after a 130kmph squirt.. they looked suprised ..

 

Arh sleeper ftw.

The ones I have seen are all a darker wood grain. Never seen a pure black OEM option.


Glad you are having fun Vice.
Give them hell mate.

Noticed clicking today at low speed under load.. Even in Auto with all settings.. Got me thinking That i may of got a gear bag with a aftermarket center diff or something..

 

I was told by my mechanic that he has a cusco one in his evo that makes simular noises.. Since my half cut was a ex race car it wouldn't surprise me..

 

Its not really effecting the way the car drives now at any speed over 30 kmph the diff is engaging and everything feels tight and good.

 

Its when the car is sending power to the rear that it clicks.. Could be a normal STI thing but i need conformation on this.

I have a stereo surround that has the same sort of brushed finish as the audm B4, but in black. Looks nice, but it's a pain to find matching gear surround and other bits. It was a jdm option though.

That's what I have. I've got the complete set though :D

I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

Yea, I have the same thing, black brushed ally. The 401's came out with a matt black surround though. Hence why they are rare as hens teeth.

 

One of these days I'll get around to uploading the brochure I have of it...


MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.

MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.

So after having my Varex fitted for 3 hours my control unit decided to burn out.. It literally just stoped working .

 

After taking it back to my tuners they explained that it looked to of burnt out. I then contacted Xforce and their first question was was it hard wired. 

 

I explained that it was and they stated it was a big no no for them. 

 

They offered a replacment control unit but ive decided to just hard wire it to a 6 pin toggle switch myself and hide that under the drivers seat somewhere..

 

Ill post up some pics when ive done it.

Tough luck. How do they mean hard wired? How else would it be wired?

I think you're meant to use the remote that comes with it. Why under the seat? Wouldn't centre console/glovebox be more accessible?

Yea I know.. I spose when you modify 90% of a car your gonna run into problems.. This is actually one problem i dont mind.. As i was thinking of hard wiring it anyhow.

 

When i say hard wired i mean wired the power into a 12v source.. Xforce recommend you plug it into the cigarette lighter and will not warranty it any other way.

 

But yea im just gonna bypass the whole control unit and put a switch in.. As for the placement I just dont want it visible and under the seat is easy to flick without anyone seeing.

 

I may put it on the side of the glove box or something.. Ill have to see how it goes.

I was hoping this isn't what they were meaning, as it make zero difference. ...As long as you have the correct fuse.

exactly what difference does it make if it hard wired or in the cigarette lighter its still a 12v power supply


Have you put any more thought into squeezing some more power out of the engine. Like strapping on one of those intake fans

I asked them that.. my response from Xforce was ..

 

"Because, the control module are not designed to be hard-wired. and most of our customers who has done so are had the same problem.

Thanks.

 

Kind regards,
Khampha"

 

 

I was like what ever and started researching how to wire it to a switch.
