What did you do to your DSM today?

[Blurred Talon]

This new one is also bluetooth enabled and controlled by an Android app.

Now that is neat!
Ever thought of sharing this on HIDP?

Wasnt today, but yesterday. I finally got to taking care of my power draw that killed my battery in ~5 hours or so. Turns out the car had almost a half a volt of draw.. .467v draw!! Well, started pulling fuses and and the culprit was the door locks.. Dont need elec door locks, dont even have a fob.

 

[Blurred Talon]

Got my battery cables all finished.
Chassis harness is ready to be loomed.
Grounds are all done.

Knocking stuff off my list super fast!

 

[pksystems]

Reinstalled gas tank, and hooked up lines.

Pressed in new diff bushings.

Installed new subframe bushings.

Started to install subframe....... till I noticed the diff bolts won't fit with subframe installed in car

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Heat wrapped everything that gets hot, with the exception of the manifold

 

[91_4g63t]

Pulling out everything in bay and pressure washing and painted. Trying to find little things to do while awaiting for the completion of a complete motor rebuild with balance shafts removed and capped. Head is completly machined and rebuilt with new valves, springs and guides. Block is getting clean, machined and new internals except. Had to bore the motor to .020

Sort of but not really. I don't do support. I could always "at your own risk" and "support yourself" license it, I suppose.. I definitely have no will to create different layouts based on screen size, that's for sure. It's a total pain in the ass designing layouts, and I'm designing for a 10.1" which is HUGE, nevermind a 4" screen.

There'd be no point, too, really. The communication protocol is proprietary and the controller code is Arduino with PWM via PCA9685 on I2C. I don't see anybody bothering to modify it for anything else, so I'm not going to clean any of the code up and comment it all. The entire thing would have to be sold as a single kit, which would likely cost in the neighborhood of $500-750 without the lights. It's very labour intensive to create one of these, and I'm on the 13th major revision, third minor.

Started bolting up rear suspension parts to get them out of my way.

Started pressing ES bushings into rear knuckle.
2/3 of one knuckle done. I'm thinking I should have got the prothane kit now. Bottom wierd angle bushing flange will not pop out on one side.

Gonna try hitting it with a heat gun and see if I can get it to soften. If not, I'm gonna try pressing it back out, cut in half and reinstall in 2 pieces.

I don't mean to sell it but just to share pictures of the build, I know the members over there enjoy seeing LED builds.

I hear you though, I've been asked to build LED stuff and I just don't want to bother with it.

 

[Red2G_GST]

Hooked up the light to my boost gauge and did a t25 to Fully Ported and Polished t28 turbo swap

 

[CrackedDSM]

Threw in a couple gallons premium on a whim and it solved the KnockRet problem I was seeing in ECMLink. Well, most of it anyway. Car has a VTA BOV on a 2G MAF(1G TSI), so when I shift and get back on the gas..rich knock. Shift slowly and everything is fine. Looked a little more into ECMLink and found..well...it'd be easier just to post the log up. Take a gander and enjoy. I've got a bit of a mountain to climb ahead of me. Tempted to just start completely over and dial everything in myself. Previous owner did everything you see here. I've caught a few things but man...it's been years since I've owned/tuned/messed with ECMLink. But either way, should be fun.

 

[pksystems]

Finished installing the rest of ES bushings in rear knuckles.

 

[92laserRS607]

Tried to replace my slave cylinder, but stripped the 10mm nut on the clutch line from the master cylinder, bought the wrong spark plugs, and found an oil leak. Good day over all.

Took off front wheel.... PO bought BBS lugnuts for front for some reason.

Ordered some new 10.9 hardware to replace rusty OEM "10"

Bolted in rear knuckles.

Bolted in all rear arms.

Started dismantling e-brake assembies.

Undercoated fuel filller tube.

 

[pksystems]

Reinstalled fuel filler tube.

Finished disassembling ebrake assemblies.
Degreased them, wire wheeled them, bent the splash shields back to semi round shape, and put them in a bucket of vinegar for a couple days. (Hopefully there is some shield left when I pull them)

Scrubbed down rear axles with wire brush, masked off boots/ends.
Cleaned/acid etched them, painted with Gloss black Tremclad

 

[CrackedDSM]

Tried to figure out what model/brand of car my shift-knob is from, searching produced no results, promptly gave up.

Loomed my fuel injector harness.
Started to do other wiring work and couldn't find my roll of solder again...fml.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

You have a build thread blurred?

 

[demonicgnome]

started trouble shooting mfi/mpi relay. Found out its working right... on to the rest of the wiring would love some input in the newbie section

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Replaced rubber fuel return line that goes from regulator to hard line. Was almost ripped and ready to start a fire.

 

[Blurred Talon]

You have a build thread blurred?

I sure do.

Got some solder today so I'm back in action.
Kind of nice being laid off, I can get my damn car finished.

 

[Pipnorcali]

Made this rad panel all cheesy like

Finished this yesterday. First image is what I used to have in the trunk to control the tail lights. Much more compact design this time around. Just waiting on my aluminum heatsinks to come in for the regulators.

Looks great!
Your posts are really making me want to get off my assignment and start working on my tails again.

How are you connecting to the LED boards in your tail lights?
