UPDATE ON JOEL'S CAR!

Got a datalog of Joel's issue....

Here's what I've learned...
-It thinks it has 26 gears
-There is a grounding issue causing a voltage drop randomly
-The transmission commands fractions of gears....
-After it has called for gears 1.1-->2.0, EPC Spikes to 60
-Then the transmission slips at 2200rpms slower than the motor
-EPC Rises again to roughly 64 as the shift to 2nd completes
-Also, it thinks it has a knock sensor and pulls timing

Rable Rable! I'm done with this car. Next.

Saturday project FTW. Decided to throw in the sc speedo, EL gauge faces, and new ultra blue needles. Took most of the day but no casualties. The led needles are wired to the ignition, so they are always on to match the cd player, and contrast the white gauges during the day. The faces come on with parking lights. All I have left is to convert the satc, clock, and switches... and she's all blue. Enjoy the pics.

PS-Ryan, I have a set of reds left over to do one for you if you likey.

Some non-phone pics.






This weekend I am going to take another swing at the satc.

Yesterday fixed some errant needles, added blue LEDs to the turn signals, and the cluster is complete. Everything seems to be looking and working fine. Also added a blue clock to the mix, stole the blue tinted lens from a taurus, perfect switch. Anyone know of a Ford with a similar SATC digital readout to ours? Maybe hit PnP this weekend.

Weekend gearing up...

LEDs I need to order for the SATC are out of stock at the moment, so I will probly be taking a swing at the window switches. Going to do blue of course. Need to pay radio shack a visit. Going to change the window, lock, defrost, and foglight switches. Might try and get my neons in there as well.

Anyone else up to no good this weekend?

Joels car is so fast it idles at 1.5 psi.

rofl.. they look good man. i'm jealous now. might have to have you do my cluster for me... so i dont nuke mine... again....

[Thunder95]

I'd be excited to try an RGB cluster for someone that would like the color changing effect. With enough time, you could do some really cool stuff with those and the interior lighting. We'll see how mine finishes off and you can all judge at the next meet... btw, any plans?

-Joel

[sinhumane]

i'll set up the rgb circuit, and pots to dial in the custom color... but you can install them for me... lol.

[Thunder95]

Pots? I was just going to use a cheap led controller.

-Joel

[2TonCat]

Tyler uses potentiometer knobs to adjust the color.

That would be better probly, the other way cycles through them, would possibly take forever to get what you wanted.

With the rgb's, I could do the cluster, satc, footwells, possibly switches and door sills in color change. Would be like the new mustangs, pretty sweet!

I have now added blue window switches to my car's resume.
