Rabster Car And Toys
So now onto fitting
Car jacked up
Cat - centre section ready to be undone thanks to Kwick Fit
All polished ready to go on
Old exhaust off
When I fitted the new one I went to helfrauds and got some loctite exhaust gasket squeegee tube thing worked great no mess squirted around the seals and bolted it back together
Now on the car awaiting alignment
It’s on the car I know it’s not fully straight yet but I will worry about that next weekend, I believe its jut the brackets that need bending
Here is the finished article from last night
Now this next pic just imagine your driving down the road at night well dusk and you see this
Speeding up in your rear view mirror what would you think..................................................
OK so i was looking for some gauges and some one suggested the HKS Camp 2 now i thought about it long and hard, and weighed up the cost of the other brands like Defi etc
Although the Camp 2 came out more expensive on initial outlay the scope for additions is vast
so i placed the order with Mazda Rotary Parts In kent came highly recomended by a few Mazda mates
order was placed at 14.45 on the thusday evening
Order arrived at 8.20 on frioday morning now that is service i cant fault very helpfull and as it was a large order i paid no next day delivery costs very helpful and all parts came direct from HKS Definatly Brand new if you know what im talking about
anyway onto fitting
As some of you know i have a double din DDX-6029 now this only has one AV input so i spen a little while making up a way to change from one input to 2 inputs which you will see at the end of the thread
Anyways here is the process
so here is the wiring going in
wiring through the bulk head
the harness that comes with it doesnt draw all its power from the OBDII like the Scangauge does you have to wire in an aditional ignition feed they do give you a fused wire for this ready for installation so that was easy enough
here is the I/F Unit and boost sensor installed
Here is the boost T-piece
OK so now on to the setting up the system
Here is it upon 1st power up
Now the strange thing is we have LEXUS cars but to make the HKS camp 2 work with the IS200 OBDII we have to tell the HKS that its a BMW1 sytem dont ask me why a guy from the MY.IS forum helped me out here
So once that was done we have this
Analogue Gauges
Digital Gauges
3 selection gauges for digital
Here is the finished article with alternating screens between front camera and HKS Camp2
1st mod was a new radio with a custom harness to existing wiring (the now standard bypass lead didnt exist in late 2006)
2nd Mod was a Kenwood IPOD adapter
3rd Mod Parrot CK3200 into external speaker
4th Mod was LED footwell lights
5th Mod was Boot install MK1 (stupid design took 20min to get to spare wheel)
6th Mod boot install MK2 (much more user friendly but still not good enough)
7th Mod 1touch wiring all round car
the green and red wire in each door is the window UP and down Switch
8th Mod Window Clousure
9th Mod Venting system and Full window roll down from remote Not on Lexus but seperate remote for now i am looking into this
10th Mod Wing mirror Closing circuit
11th Mod Scangauge Unit verry cool not happy with where i have mounted it so it will be moving up the top where the factory sat nav screen normally is
This is the circuit that geoffers Designed it is really easy to build
12th Mod Painted calipers
They did look awfull before
Now they look really good
13th mod Reversing camera
Sorry no during pics as i forgot sorry
14th mod HID 6k headlights
will get the Headlight pics up later on
Future mods i did start fitting a Parking sensor kit to the front of my car it did work well when was on the drive with the big front end up in the air
but back on the road there 2 low down and sensors dont work propperly so need to re think
here is how far i got
I have some greats mods on your car Rabster.
I will be picking brains on the camera setup, as I really need it.
Fantastic stuff mate, you've got some awesome gadgets on this car now!
Yep with the parking sensors, if you put them that low on the bumper they need to be angled upwards slightly. Otherwise they need to be around the middle of the bumper (sort of in line with the top of the license plate).
Awesome stuff. Loving the "angry face" lights :biggrin:
What's the "venting system" though ? (9th mod)
I must must must get my calipers painted !
the venting system is a little box that opens the windows whilst the car is locked i had this on a remote but wasnt to reliable
so i did start research into having a thermostat ciruit with a timer so when it got to a certian temperature the windows would open for say 20min to allow it to cool down inside then close again
i did knock a circuit up nd tested on the bench but never got round to fitting it and now lost it lol
