It's a shrub.

I was going to say bush at first but I figured that might be taken out of context

LOL...that seems to be the case lately, but honestly, it lays dormant for days at a time sometimes.

Some things I got done yesterday after happy hour! (do my best modding on a mild buzz).

Raised car back up to 1 line below 1/2" front and 1 line more than 1/2" rear...I loved how it looked maxed out, but there was ZERO rebound room, I think I was bottoming out on the bumpstop on VERY mild bumps in the road. Not worth the extra 1/4 inch lower I was for the car to drive like ass.

Reinstalled my isimple with the new firmware I put on it. So far, so good...controls all seem to function...I ran the wiring so if I needed to pull it again to keep my xm working properly, I could just disconnect it from outside the center console. Fk that noise...didn't think about it, but adding the dash topper, bass control knob, new shift knob who's center plastic section gets screwed on and doesn't come off that's too fat for the shifter boot hole...made it much more annoying to get the center out. I ran the 3.5MM jack up to the clock area, where I have my phone mount for pandora...on this aux 2, volume is low...xm seems to be normal volume and ipod seems to be normal volume. AWESOME...I actually missed having this option. I have a lot of of times where I think of a song and wish I could pop it on. I now have too many media options...radio, xm, cd, tape, pandora, and ipod.

Yay.

Meh...i want to whore your thread out too

Undying Dreams

You might have to help me with my iSimple I'm hoping it's just loose in the back of the radio.

guitarplayer16

iTrader: (8)

Glad it worked out for you!

My headphone jack volume has always been somewhat lower than the others, but it's still clear - no quality loss. Just have to switch the volume up lol
The device volume also has to be on max too.

The connector to the radio usually doesn't come loose, because it clicks in I believe.

The iSimple is so simple, might as well open up the center console and recheck every connection.

I know my inputs for the ipod and aux kept coming out of the unit if I pulled on the wire just a LITTLE bit, so I taped the input connectors onto the unit.

Also, make sure you update to latest firmware.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I ain't takin your damn dash apart! Check the connection!
I bet you you have a loose connection AT the isimple...where the little cord plugs into it...



If you really need help, I will...since you're mostly stock, it won't be hard to take apart.

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

I got all the way up until it came to taking the navi out and I chickened out and put it back together. Where is the actual iSimple?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

did it come with the car? it pigtails to your xm port on the bottom left of the radio (if you're looking facing it).

J.
here she was slammed down...

Back to comfortable ride height...whew!
It's so funny to me, it's a quarter inch, but the SICKNESS that is MOAR LOW makes you feel like you just raised it back up to 4 x 4 status! Just wan't driveable...and went to lunch in the car with a 180 pound coworker yesterday and that bish was harsh, imagine with 4 coworkers. I have always said, looking pretty is awesome...but it has to be functional.

guitarplayer16

iTrader: (8)

It has to be nearby; the harness is short lol

Look for the harness (no need to take the navi/radio out) and follow the magic kingdom to find the unit..

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

Yes it came with it. Runs through the center console under the cup holders and such.

Very nice I'm impressed. Esp. With the motor paintwork. Ever think of the Greddy EVO 2 dual exhaust? Or even ATLP? I am a big fan of your 6spd A spec blacked out look!

Here is mine, just buttoned everything back up!


GP, what's the deal with the shock sensor install. Also, can you link me with where you are buying it please (on ebay!?)

So you were VERY close to being able to check the connection, actually, you can probably reach in from behind and make sure it's pressed totally in. Losing 1 speaker though, doesn't sound like you've got a problem with connection, because with the big white switch, it's in and everything works, or it's not working. It wouldn't kill sound to 1. I will say this, when using my aux 2, which is a 3.5mm jack into my phone...I accidentally didn't press it all the way in and I lost sound from the right speaker...and was getting engine whine through it. Pressed it all the way in and I'm golden. Make sure your phone/ipod case isn't keeping the 3.5 from going all the way in and make sure it's not a bad cable.
Thanks bud...I will def. check it out! Wow, awesome, so he figured out how to cut the power to the whites when indicating so that it would blink just red. That is spectacular. Did you need any extra resistors other than the .12 ohm one wired in that handles hyperblink for the front/rear signals!?!? Also, couldn't tell from the video but for the love of all that is holy, did he fix the color of the white to be 6K?!? If so, I have a buddy I can probably sell my smoked ones to and then buy these. Also, are they for sale yet?!

Thank you, brother...yeah, I've considered it, but honestly, I don't like ANY of the tips better than the oem ones and if I'm going to keep the same look, spending a grand more for just some sound and a bit of performance will feel dumb to me. I do love the quads on the ATLP, but not willing to get the lip etc...that whole package puts me over 1500.

Tyler, despite what you think, I don't do it on purpose. I told you, I let this mofo go where it needs to go. Can't help that it always finds its way home!

Like my wiring job above?!? Those blue wires are Speaker wires soldered to the oem out of the radio wires...that connect to female RCA's. It's been a work in progress but I'm super happy with the outcome now.

Ok, so didn't like how high the rear was...so went with even all around...one line before a 1/2 inch on the tape measure from bottom of shock body to bottom perch. Perfect...front and rear same.


Also, since I was in the console, I tightened up my ebrake a bit. Now, it takes about 8 clicks to be hard enough to hold the car...this is it, car is held strong and I can't pull it up much more. It's weird, you tighten one turn and the following turn the bolt kinda doesn't tighten, I'm guessing there's a system that does that to keep the tension there...like a groove or something, so it's one tightens click, one nothing click. Did about 10 of these, pretty extreme but it always seemed really sporty to me to have a short pull up to tighten the ebrake.

J.

here is max height I need to pull to hold the car in place...along with my black chrome mishimoto weighted shift knob.

J, do you have pics of your car with the gunmetal A-Spec rims and the blue lugs on?

Where exactly is the bolt to tighten up the e-brake? I've been wanting to do that for awhile.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

If its anything like the 2G, theres an access panel in the center console. The adjuster should be behind it.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Yeah, I think it's the picture, I'll take more pics from a flat surface...I also realized today that when I lower the perches to that level, the spring comes down from the tophat on the back too and needs to be aligned as you take the car off the jack. I'm wondering how many times the damn spring was resting on the upper rubber and not in it!
I love how easy it is to adjust the coils.

J

Morgan is right, there is an access panel, but for the 3G it's actually a panel to access the 2 screws that allow you to unscrew the rear part of the center console. SO, sidesill garnishes, then 2 screws, then other 2 screws, then unclip the light/12v acc thingy and pull it back and up. Then you'll see 2 cables connected to the back end of the ebrake...there is a 12MM nut in the center...tighten till you're happy!

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

J! Y U NO REPLY TO ME?

Also good to know that the coils are easy to adjust, do you have to take your wheels off to do so?

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

I need to tighten my handbrake. It literally doesn't do ANYTHING when it's engaged.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Damn thats a lot of work

You may to adjust the e-brake at the wheels themselves. If you have the wheel off, there should be a little rubber grommet on the top hat of the rotor. Pop that off, and spin it to the 6 o'clock position. Then take a flat head screwdriver and spin the star adjuster until there is a slight bit of drag when you spin the rotor. Then you can adjust the handbrake from inside the car.
