So I finally got some mods done today...

1. Blue LED in the Factory Security hole. Pretty easy mod, looks amazing. Thanks for the LED, Don (Pearl96Max)! The LED is so bright it could blind someone...pics below:

2. Pioneer SDV-P7 In Dash DVD player installed in third din. Yes, the navigation unit played DVD movies, but now I can navigate and watch movies at the same time. (The movie playing is Heist)

3. Pioneer CDX-P1270 12 Disk CD Changer installed under the drivers seat. Yes, it fit. Yes, I can take out the magazine. No, I can no longer move my seat up and down (without crushing the unit). I can move the back forward and back and the seat forward and back, but not up or down. No big deal..i'd rather have the disk changer.

4. Belkin Auto A/C installed under drivers seat. This was installed so I can run stuff like a laptop, palm charger, or video camera without using their own batteries. It's installed next to the CD changer.

Man, I couldn't wait to get some of this stuff in....my modding is almost complete...just a few hundred mods left to do (most of them sitting in my house, lol)

Erik

 

wow ..... great job ... looks really good erik ... keep up the good work

 

Love that bright LED








Is it just me or do some people have all the fun..

 

I like your smiles on the bottom of your sig...

Erik

 

nice job ...looks great...i cant wait till my tvs go in!

 

Looks cool. I was thinking about doing the security light, but I'm not sure how to get at it.

Putting the Belkin Auto AC under the seat was a good idea too. Nothing like having a plug right there. I was planning on doing something similiar in the trunk for my eventual computer mods, but building some kind of enclosure around it so it looked more stock. I also considered putting it in the rear armrest (flip down - plug in ), because I didn't want it anywhere conspicuous.

 

damn that tree must have hurt! i thought the middle pic was a pool!

 

yeah it hurt, now its hurting the insurance! 4,600 worth of damage! maybe nextr week or week after ill ahve my car back ill post new pics!

the mods are starting to pile up in my room!

 

I dind't know Belkin was making those! I wanna get one!!! Very kewl, Erik. Next time you stop up here in CT, don't blind me with more blue lights!

 

 

That LED looks really hot!!

Is there any way you can do a little write up on what step you took in doing this mod?

Thanks.

 

don't worry about him blinding you.. blind me with our headlights

 

Rodney Splice says you don't need anymore rice mods.. you need power

 

It's really very very very easy however I will do a small writeup tonight.

Erik

 

I'm not sure if Belkin still makes them. Mine is over 10 years old, lol. I can't use it with the cig. line anymore (starter button) so we threw it in...Belkin makes great stuff and I never had a problem with the unit!

Now that classes are on the last week and finals are next week maybe we need to have another "meet" in CT, last time was lots of fun.

Erik

 

lol you big fassyhole you a talk bout Rodney Splice like him and you a batty lovers... learn how to drive manual **** than talk **** !

 

oh the automagic boy has jokes

break 14's

then come talk to me

 

Erik

You're confusing me

I thought you had an SE, but your gauges are black w/ white lettering.
I thought you got the rings for the guages too ... and reverse indiglos?

Or am I smoking crack again?

Oh well, back to crack

 

Looks good.

SuDZ

 

DAM I'M JEALOUS!!!

I always thought to myself that DVDs were a big waste of money in the car cause it's like....u know? but dam, it's looks real nice...nice size screen and all, DAM YOU ERIK, DAM U TO HELL!!!!

 

Long Long Long story.

I have an SE. I also have GLE doors, hood, trunk, bumpers, and interior. I have 2 sets of gauges, stock GLE set and Indiglo, Carbon Fiber and Gauge ring set, which will be put in as soon as I pass inspection which might be never....it was due Novemeber of 2001...

Erik

 

I recently finsushed the LED mod. It really is hotness. I'm gonna stick some in my vents next. That ruber piece is stupid. If any of you guys need advice or a write up e-mail me.

 

Sorry, a writeup is a real waste of time...I am going to break it down pretty simply.

1. Disconnect Negative Battery terminal
2. Remove dashboard (indiglo gauge instruction {maximadriver.com})
3. Remove Security led box.
4. Take it apart (it comes apart in the middle)
5. Drill hole in the clear part (next to word SECURITY)
6. Stick LED in hole.
7. Wire LED using instructions on LED case
8. Put back dash.
9. Connect Negative Battery terminal.

If you need any help, im or e-mail me

Erik

 

you big fassyhole.... LMAO
batty lovers... never thought i would see Patois on maxima.org lololol

 

Wow...good job on the mods. It all looks so sweet. Id do stuff like that if i wasnt poor! I want to get that electrical outlet thing someday, thats a nice thing to do. Keep up the good work!

 

Woah dude, you did so much more than I did. Ijust replaced the LED with a blue one.

 

hmm also I dont think you have 67000 miles on your car

 

I don't...real miles unknown....stolen odometer...thats why I have 2 clusters...otherwise it would be illegal.

Erik

 

I wanted the LED to stick out a bit....and it looks much better like that IMO. It only took me like 20 mins to do...I think the post took longer...lol. Having 2 sets of gauges allowed me to learn how to take apart the entire dash almost in my sleep...

Erik

 

Erik

At least I wasn't going crazy ....

Nice work btw. If only I had the $$$ to spend

 

Nice Mods Erik

Did you use the blue led from radio shack?
Nice Jag also. I've got a 90 XJ6.

 

No, radio shack LEDs are horrible. This was an amazing LED from Don, (Pearl96Max).

Erik

 

how much was the led? how can I get one?

 

how much was the led? how can I get one?


I need the blue SECURITY light.

 

E-mail don at:

MyPearlTPI@aol.com

Tell him you want the same LED he gave me. (Blue flashing)

Erik

 

Eric, you just have the pioneer tv with the avm unit right? doesn't look like you have it hooked up to a pioneer hu. how's it work with the avm. is it a tuner? how do you control the radio if it is. also how's the avm look on the tv? from what i can gather it gives you a lot of nice eye candy (good!). just wondering how the radio works with the avm.

thanks.

 

Sorry, but your post is kinda confusing...when you mean TV, do you mean screen or TV? I have a 7" screen, no TV. I have a MU and everything is pioneer. Here is the components:

Pioneer AVX-7000CD - 7" Screen and CD player
Pioneer AVM-P8000R - Master Unit
Pioneer AVIC-9DVD - Navigation / DVD player
Pioneer SDV-P7 - DVD Player
Pioneer CDX-P1270 - 12 Disk CD Changer

Erik

 

yeah .. every time mi turn mi rass back diss bumbo clat batty bwoy a chat **** to mi

 

umm...yeah, whatever you said...

Erik

 

TRON.

Anyway, I'll have to look...it would be kewl to have that in my car...I think that scary new Pontiac SUV comes with a regular plug in it or something...it's neat, but I wouldn't buy it LOL.

Yes I keep meaning to plan another LAN party, but I've been busy.
