bored yesterday, so i tore into my car and got out the dremel :twisted:

in the A4, the fog lights are designed to only operate during use with the low beams. i don't like that so much, because i'd like them to also be on during high beam use to provide maximum lighting, and i'd like to use the fogs when the headlights are completely off for the best lighting in super-thick fog (european A4's are set up like this, EDM fo life dawg). this also allows me to operate the front fogs independent of the rear fog light (the fronts turn on automatically if the rear is turned on in stock form)...although i could care less about that.

most importantly though, i think it looks cool to just have the fogs on.

this meant pulling out a relay from behind the glove box and doing a little soldering. three contacts are ground down, and three are connected via a nice little ghetto shunt (not my work, someone else's picture). when the relay is plugged in, it doesnt go completely in so there is space for the shunt in between the relay box and where it plugs in.

relay getting violated:


fogs only:


fogs with highs:


the end.

I think I'll tape it for the benefit of the less fortunate.

Anyone else go to this today ? Sucked it cost 25 bucks, but it was pretty cool to see all the tuner cars they had there. I'll post some pics up tomorrow when I'm less tired.

Only wish I lived in England and seen this add in time....

So I went down to Ride Revolutions this morning to dyno the supra. 3 pulls for $30 with an air/fuel readout. The numbers were about on par with a n/a supra with exhaust. I put down 177.5rwhp and 167.3rwtq. Highlight of the day, the VW GTI with no exhaust that burned through the strap and snapped it in half.

Good deal or no? I need more space to do some more work with track video and expand my MP3 collection.

Help a n00b out

What next? Maybe our armed forces and the resurgence of hostile forces in Iraq will decide to let the two top gaming soldiers play a few rounds of Battlefield 2 to determine how an ecounter goes.
