Congrats, even though I kinda suspected it was your car in the OMC cruise pics last week

The seat knobs adjusters can be interchanged from the passenger seat, I have a couple here if you want one, let us know

ugh... putting stuff on top of the car... how could you!

you care to see how the cruise control is wired up? see if the switch operates by discrete wiring or with resistive signalling... the latter of which is how the FACTORY mazda cruise control works... each button is connected through different resistors and so the control box picks up which button you pressed based on a specific voltage it sees

if that crap aussie cruise control works by resistive signalling, I can find you a USDM cruise control switch and send it to you so you can add it in it'll look much nicer and easier to use than that crap sticking out of your steering column

The laptop is phils, didnt know it was there tbh. Pretty sure i was cussing up a storm inside my head about the AAC sag brackets.

In regards to the Cruise Control, how can I tell which is which?

disconnect the switch (better to disconnect the battery first so you don't fry that precious POS cruise control brain), then just test continuity between all wires of the switch... if you see lots of wires then more than likely it's just direct wire... if it's just 2 or 3 wires, then it's likely resistive... you can just make sure by checking the resistance of all wires... there has to be a common earth or power

look at the USDM shop manual, you'll get some ideas how that switch works




and how dare you phil! putting crap on people's cars without permission!

LOL it's my tiny Asus transformer weighing 1 kg with rubber feet, no way it could harm anything when placed carefully and we have to polish it properly to get rid of the swirls.

As for the cruise control I will have a look at the wiring in the next few days and let you know.

Here is a couple of pics of Kris's new car the day after he got it before he fitted the rims.

How much are you looking for the Microtech? and what will you do with the ZE cams when you put the Twiggy's in? Very keen to see this with all those parts in there

Heh! Thanks man. There's a few pieces I haven't thought of yet floating around.

Id like what I paid for it tbh. Ill pm you in regards to it

As for the Cams, there the exact same as far as we are aware as whats in that FS-DE you have there The only exception being if I landed a MSF engine of which the chances are extremely extremely slim. (Phildough has 1 of 209)

haha no, his engine is #49 of 209

more reason for you to make it a mazdaspeed version now... the colour is the right one, you have the wheels, you just need the suspension, engine, and some interior bits now!

Haha you had some trouble with those. Mat got a side done in 10 minutes and it took both of us to fit the other side. It got there though
