GRM New Year Game

In reply to Dusterbd13:

Air freshners for the car?

they've got electrical connectors so small that I have no idea. appears to be an led behind the cover as well, and something sticky. im thinking some sort of specialy light. no idea. but not an air freshener, I don't believe.

In reply to Dusterbd13:

Those are a couple old rain sensor units I had floating around. One is from a BMW and the other is from a newer GM truck/SUV.

I forgot to include my username in the package, sorry about that.

I figured it was you by the lancer badge. THANK YOU.

Now to figure out how to retrofit the rain sensor to the elky. ..

Haha, I can't help you with the retrofitting. All I know how to do is unplug and replace them if they start acting up.

I can't imagimr they're that hard to retrofit. Hot wire in, signal out inline to wiper detent. Toughest part is going to be having a.settimg on the elky that works like intermittent, but doesn't function unless it gets a bump signal from the rain sensor. Though, if it does have a manual bump mode (you hit it and it swipes it once) and you could get a resistor setup inline with the sensor to fudge that signal, it could work.....

Sorry for the threadjack, I was debating the merits of rewiring the dash in the corolla to be all led lit toggles for funsies on my way to work, I got wiring on the brain

Those speaker covers are actually rear panel covers for a System 10 stereo in a 90-93 Celica AllTrac/GT-S.

The bushings are... upper control arm bushings i believe. I think i forgot to take them back after i ordered twice as many as i actually needed.

The rod/piston combo is from everyone's favorite Mazda motor.

And the cat looks just like one of ours. I should make sure he's still here.

The 13B doesn't have pistons

Thanks Secret Santa!! There's an old speedometer, likely from a 30s Ford, a Lincoln Continental emblem, some bungee cords, a roll of paper towels, a bottle of some good hot sauce, and a bag to put it all in!

I'm sorry, i can't hear you over all the terrible-sounding torque my F2 is making.

That's OK, he probably can't hear you over that annoying-ass weedeater sound that an uncorked rotary makes.

I bet if a nice bridged or peri-ported RX7 and my MX6 were seen in the same place giving it the beans, everyone within a 1 mile radius would vomit uncontrollably.

In reply to 16vCorey:

You know, Hitler didn't like the rotary engine either...

Mine just went to the mailroom, meant to send it Saturday but it was 50% off at the pick your part and then I had lunch at an all you can eat KBBQ place and fell into a food coma, apologies for the delay. Also, I did not follow the rules RE: flate rate box.

Dude, that was FANTASTIC!

Swag time!

I got an Indy bag, a sweet AFR meter, a carbon fiber lighted toggle switch, an ARP pen, a silicone keychain, and El Camino Hot wheels, an Indy beer coozie, and stickers!

I LOVE MY SECRET SANTA! They know me pretty well. Now who is it?

Got mine a few days ago

I don't know who the GRM member is, but thanks santa! Pretty psyched about the band of brothers. not sure if the tennis ball was part of it or not, it could go either way in my house. There was also a bag of herseys kisses but my friends and I ate them all already...

Think that the resonant frequency would be the brown noise?

Or the white noise. There's only one way to find out.
