You should be paying attention in class though. Not goofing off on teh interwebs.

okay not really, but my job gets boring/slow at times.
i'm in the oil and gas industry.
sometimes, we just dont have any work.
other times, its pretty busy.
I look at seismic data all day
there's seismic data in my pants

I'm guessing the seismic data in your pants is negligible; microscopic; almost non-existent?

Everyday I'm rofling
Has anyone's car alarm randomly gone off before? Mine has done it 3 times. First two times were after I parked about 30 seconds after I turn it off as I'm walking away. It went off again just now while it was sitting in my parents driveway. Haven't driven it since early this morning. I have a tilt sensor I installed a few years ago but all the random alarms have been within the past year or so. Is it ghosts?

Aftermarket or OEM? Does it have a backup battery? If so, maybe it's not holding a charge. If not, maybe is poltergeists.

It's aftermarket. Can't remember the brand without digging through emails to find it. The alarm never had any problems the first year it was on and I haven't touched it since I installed it. I want to say the tilt sensor isn't the problem but I have no idea why it would go off on it's own.

xtc, noticed you have Michelin Pilot super sport tires. How do you like them? Then again you do live in Canada, so not sure if your advice on them would be any relevant to me. Also, aren't those summer tires?

my dads g37x has super sports ^ i fucking love them. insane grip.
They make them in a/s as well.
They are overkill for our tsx though.

The SS really are overkill for this car. And at $250 a tire, didn't make sense for my slow ass fwd lol.
The hancooks i went with are a good match for this car i think. the dry grip is really good, wet grip is way better than stocks. snow is 100% useless.

The PSS are not on yet. They will go on with the Works.
I got them for a decent price. "Used" for about 10 km lol. Bought them off a guy who owns a M235i. He picked his car up in winter and said he has no use for these, because he put winters on his stock wheels and got a set of Advan wheels and a different set of summers as he went with a wider setup. One of the tires actually still have the sticker on them so I have no idea how he even put 10 km on them lol. They look brand new.
I know they're a bit overkill, but it cost just as much as brand new for a new set of my last Hankooks after tax. Fuckin 13% tax here in Toronto, Ontario. The only used set of tires I could find in the specs I wanted ended up being PSS so I figured why not lol
They're supposed to be amazing in the dry and wet, and should also be fairly quiet. The best all around street tire if I'm not mistaken.

Well yea since you got them for a good deal then it makes way more sense, but like for my car it just didnt make sense to pay the premium considering the car. and yea they are amazing wet and dry. I launched the car while it was raining like crazy and it didn't even spin at all.the tsx really needs something to get rid of it's chronic understeer imo

O K, So, at the top it says Chit, Chat... so... not meaning to distort or Destroy the thread or...?
I went to a Honda MotorSports Shop today.. Had not been to one for five years or so.
Came home. Stuck my head under the hood of our TSX Sptwgn
No wonder we love it! What trick pieces of machinery Honda cranks out!!!!
Can I put a V6 in there?????
NSX or Ford GT?
))
Looking forward to F1!

but naw, these are going on my Works and on my car when it warms up a little bit more. Winter I'll stick to my stock wheels with the stock pos Michelin Pilot MXM4
and yea I know the MXM4 are absolutely shit in the snow... but the tires have like 10k km on them so might as well use them lol. Ain't got money for X-Ices... need mods

Itz JDM y0!
My neighbor just got these wheels on his f10 528i:
Bathurst Alloy Wheels by TSW
They look SICK!!! Seriously thinking about picking a pair up later

You can't tell me that soldering those Surface Mount LED's was an easy job. Especially with those stupid pads missing. How long did it take you?
Soldering wires, and soldering those LED's is like level 1 compared to level 9 haha
But really, if you do a red one I'll buy it lol

It took me a long ass time. But guess what? I used 12v LEDs. I'm an idiot.... I have to change it now

That really blows, I did those two LED's (which you saw and said sucked) and did a test and nothing turned on. So I knew I had:
1. The wrong LED's
2. Or it had some type of in-line circuit.
3. Or I hadn't soldered it correctly
4. Or ALL of the above
So I gave up lol. I wasn't gunna try and do the rest if I couldn't test along the way and see progress.

I'm gonna check it with the multimeter to be sure...but i think it's probably 3.3v. Cause yea it won't turn on. Only other explanation is the board is damaged.
03-15-2015, 07:28 PM
ROTAREDOM
Board isn't damaged... unless I damaged it during my attempt, which I doubt. The only thing that could be damaged is the actual diode on the LED if too much heat is used (leaving soldering iron on one location for too long.) All of the other pcb components should be fine.
I would suggest using the multimeter on your OE display while it's still connected and see what the Voltage reading is.

Just take your original pcb completely out and plug directly into the harness and test.
