Crisco: Sucks

Danny: Holy crap, man! That's awesome

And the lights...if you can power those XD

Those gauge lights are sweet. Do you have pics? I'd like to maybe do that to my ride as well.

Post by **Legacy777** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 4:45 pm

Yeah, I'd like to see pics of the actual LED's and wiring setup you used.

SWRT · Post by **SWRT** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 5:55 pm

Yep. I was about to ask if you have a walkthrough also.
Looks BA, dude.

Danny-G · Post by **Danny-G** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 7:54 pm

I pretty much followed this write up, http://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=21431. The only difference is the L.E.D strip I used isn't SMD.
I did think to take some pictures during the installation too, so I got a few.

I'm gonna guess that the positive and negative are in the same place for all first gen. clusters so a simple look at one of my pictures should show where to solder the wires.

that L.E.D set up is sweet.. can you post the part number for the L.E.D's?

I have been working on painting all the small stuff on my car. Did the brake calipers yesterday and now im starting on blacking out all the chrome.

I replaced my front seats with 2001 subaru RS seats!

Danny-G · Post by **Danny-G** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 9:30 am

I got the L.E.D set up as a single 36" strip at Autozone. Well worth it if you ask me and they work exactly like the factory gauge lights. I got some great news in regard to my big suprise!! Its gonna happen and I am so excited!!!!!!
Heres a teaser to see if you guys can figures it out.

Monday needs to get here already!!!! Then the big suprise will be unveiled! Keep an eye on this thread later in the day on monday.

Great teaser picture. I know, you are going to swim across that light blue ocean and go to Japan for some cool parts. Or, Scion something.

SWRT · Post by **SWRT** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 12:34 pm

Oh, I think I figured it out!
Pssssssh*

Also, I'm freakin doing that LED cluster.
Probably cheaper than replacing all the
bulbs anyway haha

And your car has come a long way, Danny

Danny-G · Post by **Danny-G** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:33 pm

Yeah, its come a long way from when I started driving it.
Started like this.

And now looks like this.

And, I think my alternator hates me now.

I'll be posting here again later today too.

SWRT · Post by **SWRT** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:43 pm

That's freakin awesome, man haha

Got any of the light output?

concretelegacy · Post by **concretelegacy** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 10:30 pm

^ wow that's some serious wattage!

Today I ordered a new fender and airbag. I might replace both front seatbelt tracks if im feeling frisky tonight.

Danny-G · Post by **Danny-G** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 7:44 am

I don't have any output shots and I won't be able to get any untill I get a job cause I no longer have insurance on the well lit sedan. Why would I have the insuance dropped from the sedan? Because I have something better!! The big suprise!! What could it be but...........

A '94 turbo wagon!!!!!!! His name is Takamaru.

Got him for 2k with 266500 miles and a rebuilt title from a previous owners accident. Drives fine, boost is awesome, and the PIAA fog lights were a nice bonus. Also, he is totally stock under the hood, down to the thingy that the scoop feeds. And the stero is totally stock, interior is really clean, and everything works as it should. I got a great deal! I already plan on clearing the tail lights, installing a different stero, and clearing the headlights.

kimokalihi · Post by **kimokalihi** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 7:59 am

WOW, awesome find. What a deal. I'd go out and get a loan right now if I found one that cheap in good condition. Good for you!

Hey, I was right about the turbo after all

Thing's freakin nice, man! Congratulations

concretelegacy: Feeling frisky XD

ciper: Congratulations on the brake upgrade, man

I ended up doing my front with WRX 2 pots and
without changing out the master cylinder the brakes
feel a bit spongy. I guess it's an NA thing?

SILINC3R · Post by **SILINC3R** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 1:13 pm

Danny you lucky dog, that's my favorite color and interior. Looks like its in great shape too. Like the WRX wheels also.

Does your car have ABS? If so, it should have the 1-1/16" bore MC, and "should" be ok. If it doesn't have ABS, you've only got the 1" bore MC, and will benefit from installing a 1-1/16" bore MC. The only non-abs 1-1/16" bore MC is on the SVX. You'll find them around the mid 90's 94-97 or so.

I kinda was. I removed the passenger seatbelt track and got the new one partially installed. I haven't been feeling very well lately so I've been trying to keep the car tinkering to a minimum.

I did receive my air bag and fender today. If I'm feeling up to it I will finish the seatbelt, install the air bag, and jam the fender.

Any advice for replacing the seatbelt rail? I'm about to replace my drivers side unit (the steel cable is all exploded)

Is the STI MC an upgrade for an SS or no?

I am about to do the drivers side too. I can't believe both belts were bad in my car. The biggest p.i.t.a. was that you should remove the headliner. I just took off the sunvisor and cilp. Then I tugged it down enough to where I could get at the 2 bolts. I had to remove the oh shit handle too. You won't have that problem on the drivers side. I also noticed that the proper way to re-install the assembly is to install the front part of the track (by the windshield) first and then work your way back down to the cable motor.

As for me I finished up my belt installation on the passenger side tonight, got the jams painted on my new fender, and tried to install my new airbag. I forgot that the airbag requires a special bit to remove it. And I thought it was just a 10mm.

Danny-G · Post by **Danny-G** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 7:57 am

Swapped some parts from my sedan to my wagon. Swapped the headlights so I can slear the stock ones, swapped the gauge clusters so I can keep usint the L.E.D one and I left the proper speedo in each car, swapped my L.E.D domelight bulb, swapped wheels and tires as I didn't wanna run around on studless snow tires, and swapped the rear defrost and cruise control switches since the lights were burnt out in the wagon. Eventually I'll be clearing the tail lights too.

Yeah, Non-ABS. I've looked into it and they supposedly
had the right master cylinder up at Autozone, but they
weren't sure. It was $70 though
