Had some fun with the car this weekend. I loaded Tephra v5.10 on the car with the over the phone assistance of Hughes and Scheides (thanks so much again!!) I didn't do the valet mode, cause it's just ghey unless you do valet on a regular basis. I did enable the knock CEL, and disabled the stupid P0300 Random Misfire code that seems to be pretty common actually.
I tried to do NLTS, and every time I would try it, it would cut really hard, like boost cut. After double, triple, and quadruples checking all the values/tables in ECU Flash, and figuring out that the car would only act like this when NLTS was activated in ECU Flash, Scheides had the idea of checking the upper clutch switch. (The one that tells the car the clutch is all the way to the top) Sure thing, the switch (It's a little plunger style switch for those that may not know) is about 1/16"-1/8" from being depressed all the way when the clutch is at the top of it's throw, so the car thought the clutch was part way in, enabling NLTS too early. So, I'm going to try to bend whatever little bracket this switch may be on, so it gets depressed all the way in. If that doesn't work, I have a pretty sweet little idea that may or may not include some Billy Mays magic
I put the wing back on, and installed one of my Kracka Vents (the rear one was hard to get to at the time with the car being hot).
And earlier this week, I brought the car in to a local audio shop ( I hate wiring with a passion, and this car was an absolute nightmare) and had them figure out all the massive amounts of wiring from one of the previous owners huge systems. The guy had a in dash DVD player/carputer, component speakers in the front, some kind of JL Audio rear speakers, subs in the trunk and some other crap. When I got the car, it had a stock deck that didn't work
So, they yanked all the crap that was un-needed out of the car, and put in a cheapy Kenwood Excelon KDC-X494 Deck and hook up the MA crossovers to the front components. Sounds alright now, 100% better than having no sound thats for sure! But I think I will be looking for a sub setup, and a 4 channel amp for the other main speakers over the winter, it needs just a hair more bass.
Anyone have an SSL Sub box laying around? I kind of want to have the stockish look, and take up as little room as possible.
