Update on my VE5spd!

HUDs installed, pics will come later today! Need to find a damn digicam..
Craig I have a question on the HUD, the wires that get grounded to turn it on, if I put that on a switch will I have to turn on the HUD (by hitting the switch) everytime I get into my car? It's a little ghetto wired right now and I have to keep disconnected the wires to get the HUD to come on, is there a way I can get it to just come on with the car?

My black suede headliner/pillars is coming along nicely, I have everything done but the sunroof shade, C pillars (damn rust is holding the seatbelt nut in very nicely), and the visors. I also covered the rear deck!

My tint is laid out on my bed (ordered from ebay, laser-cut for the max), 35% front, 15% back, need to take the old tint off...

I visited the junkyard last week in STL, got some stuff, almost had a sunroof deflector thingie (goes before the sunroof on the outside) but as I had it halfway off my friend decided to **** with it and it snapped in half, i love my friends, also got a turn signal, hazard switch (turn signals work yayy), dummy switch, power/comfort switch (still need another one, going to use it as an amp turn on/off switch but disected it to get it to work right, caleb claims I can have his). Funny thing about the junkyard was that everytime I've gone before it's all GXEs or VG SEs, this time there were 3 SEs, and 1 was a VE5spd! Also saw the first brown interior, and the black A, B, and C pillars that come on the 89-91 SEs, anyway pics will be up later so you all can drool!

thats pretty cool. id love to have a heads up display. on the switch, just get a switch from parts store and hook it up to it or you could have tapped into the access. power so it would turn on when the key was turned.

No, the hud switch is just a toggle switch that rests in the no contact position. Turn the switch on one time and it'll come on every time you start the car until you hit the switch again and then it'll stay off until you hit the switch.

wrong, kinda. ive been looking at mine, i ripped open the switch, and connected the 2 leads of the bulb that's in the switch (A/T), so I was gonna have the speaker amp remote wire hooked up to that one (itll be on all the time) and use a relay to shut it off in the 'power' position, since ill want the speakers on in comfort and in a/t positions, but i still think i need another relay
