I got my keyless entry unit working last night.

The brainbox on my audivox model was bad, so it wasn't locking the car like it should (was only pulling 4 volts when the circuit activated. It needed to pull a full 12v). I ended up getting an upgrade to a viper unit for an extra $25 (total of $75 so far). It was a much more complex unit since it has internal relays, so I had to call Broadfield up and have him explain how it freaking worked to me. Once he did, everything clicked in my head and it works flawlessly. I still need to wire in the horn, marker lights, and dome lights, but it was getting late and I was happy just to have the locks working. I'll probably take some time this evening while I'm doing laundrey at my parents' to wire the rest of it up.

I don't know if I want to wire up the horn though. It beeps the horn twice when it unlocks the doors, and that seems a bit excessive. I don't mind a beep when it locks, but I don't need for it to beep when it unlocks. I'll know if it didn't unlock when I can't open my door. The beep when I lock it is a confirmation that it worked.

Other than that, my evening was pretty drull. I watched TV and surfed the interwebs.

so i'm driving home for lunch, and as soon as i get on the highway, i see that there is a red kouki in the left lane a little ahead of me. i catch up to it to see and older man driving it. now you're all thinking, it's another 240, big deal. what struck me as odd was that the upholstery was not black, it was tan like this

it looked really good with the red, i was just unaware that that color upholstery was offered in 240s. maybe he had it all reskinned.

I just got a "Don't mind me, I'll be in my lab" picture in my head....google it so you can see what I'm takling about. It's pretty NSFW.

Tan wasn't an option for the S14 interiors. He's had those seats recovered.
