VAFC Installed and running, well almost (pic) / new take on an old shift knob (pic)
Well I installed my VAFC. Realized that the cable was not going to reach. I will be getting an extension soon. Here's the pics of it running. Gotta get it tuned, might wait till after I get UR pulleys.
The controller slides down when the sunglass holder is opened so you can see it better from the driver's seat.
As for the shift knob, I took a TypeS knob and painted the TypeS emblem Satin Silver to match the rest of the interior. Oh and BTW, the threads on the TypeS knob are much smaller than on my 99. I had to drill out the hole with a 3/8" drill bit and form new threads to get it to fit.

I got mine in a groupbuy. I paid $150 for it. I was told they are not going to do the groupbuy that cheap anymore. It'll probably run you in the $200 range.
Before you all say that I'm nuts to pay that much for a harness, take a look at how much work went into this thing.

IT ONLY WORKS ON THE 1999TL. NO OTHER YEARS TLs OR CLs WERE CHROME.
Here's a better picture.

right on NSXNEXT!!!
I have to agree that is one hell of a badass harness!!!! Some regular wire and a package of butt splices and you could easily make your own extension(just take it one wire at a time)

How much of wiring do u have to run from the sunglass holder to the ECU? I too was contimplating on purchasing the harness and a new VAFC but wiated untill the new VAFC II came out that allows the driver the use of 2 parameters that can be programed. Kinda like a street/strip or cruise/sport mode of configuration rather than just one configured parameter that is used.
