[ilv1004s]

hows that

due to ideas being tossed around

what do you guys think..

whos up for it

[Atlantis]

Sounds alright... what sorta things are we gonna cover?

I've been looking into automating the side mirrors upon turning the car off (like an SL) but it's proving trickier than I thought for now.

[LEX51S]

What for. Like what happens on the day?

[ilv1004s]

bring your stuff

coilovers

wheels etc

and we help each other putting them on

it's pretty much just a mini meet up

and just doing normal stuff lol

[k2sty1]

yeh nice

too bad i alrady put my intake on

i'll try to bring something to get installed if this goes ahead, maybe LED tail lights

i also wanna make the car unlock itself when i put it in Park

[Atlantis]

That one is easy k2sty1... it's in the manual somewhere. I did it on mine soon after I got it.

Hmm, it's easy on a 2009 model. Not sure if it's a dealer thing for earlier models or not. Can't hurt to try it tho.

[RichieISF]

Can i come along to this,

Im a mechanic by trade , so i would be some use.?

I could bring my apron with the boobs on it for someone if they wanna cook the BBQ!

~RichieISF~

[k2sty1]

oh really?

nice, i'll go have a look at it

the lights would be easy, just that it'll be more fun putting it on together, lol

It definitely DIY on late model IS250's. Whether it's possible on earlier models is debated here:

... although we now have confirmation from k2sty1 that it's DIY on his '07 model.

Atlantis, I would think you need a circuit similar to the interior dome light but with a capacitor and relay to have enough power to fold the mirror inwards when there's no ignition.

[Atlantis]

Lance and I are nutting this mirror thing out. We've gathered our collective knowledge together. I'll be experimenting on the weekend :)

its definatly possible on the older model, well it worked on my 07 Sport, just followed wt it said in the manual

start the car in ignition mode (press start button twice without brake pedal depressed) then leave the car in Park

now just hold the door unlock button on the driver side door for about 4seconds nd release it, when u relesse, all the doors will lock then unlock

now its limked so they unlock when i shift into Park

bbut to make then LOCK when u shift OUT of Park, instead of holding the unlock button, hold the lock button

Anyone for HIDs?

Piece of cake to install... just need a hole saw and a 10mm socket.

I can assist with that if anyone needs it.
