Alarm almost finished

Spent two days at the garage again, been kinda poor 'n busy so you don't see me often there. I try to maintain once/twice a month so I'll get something done before the summer. But then again, I'm hanging tight on my social life & work this year unlike last one which was totally fucked up due to spending too much time with the car.

You know my style, I always need to couple the wires, run them beautifully and tape them together for nice look & reliability. So thats taking a while.



So quite a lot of ABIKO, soldering and taping these past few days, those wires in an alarm system so complicated as the one I have just don't seem to get done ever. Used 2 rolls of electrical tape so far, heh. However now I only need to run & solder the wire between relay and IGN II and I'm ready. Just some ziptieing after that.

None of that make very good photos though, but I do have a photo of my fuselage which I put in the usual place, under passenger side dash where you can always remove the panel easily if them fuses pop.


I used the socket for the relay the first time ever, usually I just put the wires individually there but its kinda nice, feels pro. B)

My own ACC power connection is 10mm2 so I divided it to 3 x 4mm2 and used a double connector so I can jump 12V to 3 more low amp connections (1,5mm2). That should be plenty. I'll be adding stuff like reverse radar, a few meters, new aftermarket power antenna and boot release kit so I'll need that fusebox. Good setup though.

Anyhow, might be a while before I post again but the next time I'm expecting to be able to post a vid of the remote start feature and probably start painting the dash or do something with the carpet and the roofliner. We'll see. =)
