Well, my "custom project #1" is at a stop for now

I'll keep you guys updated on it once I take it to the last step... pics to come...

However, am starting a different project now... I'll give ya a hint on it...
I just ordered one of these bad boys:

can you give us more pictures?

first guess is alarm system
second guess is something to do with ignition
third guess is a power inverter

ok... humm... don't want to reveal the all deal, wouldn't want to spoil the surprise when I make the vids....

ok, this should help... it is related to braking system

**xsperf** · 08-22-2005, 02:32 PM

oh lol in that case, well do you want me to say it publicly? or should i PM you

**Rooz** · 08-22-2005, 02:35 PM

Just take a guess here...

**xsperf** · 08-22-2005, 02:42 PM

if i guess what its for, will you tell me what project #1 is

**Rooz** · 08-22-2005, 02:44 PM

humm, I'll post pics of it, but you definetly should be able to tell what it is with the pics....

**xsperf** · 08-22-2005, 02:45 PM

ok, let me take a guess

ITS FOR DOING BURNOUTS YOU FREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, and if im wrong, wow i will be sooo embarassed

**xsperf** · 08-22-2005, 02:48 PM

well, it may not be necessarily for doing burnouts, but i THINK, its like a HUGE brake booster where it can put a TON of pressure in your brake lines to hold your brakes

**Rooz** · 08-22-2005, 02:54 PM

Yeap, it's a Stage Control Valve. Used for burn outs and better launching on automatics mainly. I think once installed this bad boy will be a LOT of fun

It's supposed to get here by end of the week, but I'll have a good bit of custom work to do with it. I'll also need to wire it up next to the shifter. Will be fun....

And am going to post pics of the other project...

you don't have ABS?

**komodo** · 08-22-2005, 03:12 PM

Also what about an LSD?

**Rooz** · 08-22-2005, 03:22 PM

Yes, but you can get around it... Just like when you torque brake...

As far as project #1 goes... I got the idea one day when I was driving and saw this cop with an undercover stang doing church traffic. He had these in his fogs and headlights, and rears. Other than that the coor looked completely stock he even had what looked to be 5% tint.

first off I bought some crappy slim fogs from ebay for fairly cheap. Only catch was they had to run on H3 bulbs fo the size of the hole I needed.

I then took the H3 bulbs out

Made a quick trip Advance Auto parts, bought the control module and white strobes

Then I put the strobes in the fogs instead of the H3 Bulbs.

I did all the hard work already cables are wired up and safe heat shielded. You can't even see them..... Only "hard" pat I got left is to cut a small opening under the left side vent on driver side. Am not going to really cut it, I'll technically "fold" a small rectangle ou so that the module will look perfectly flushed. This all projec is mainly for kicks and giggles.... I'll hook up the fogs behind the mesh grill of the "soon to be here" M bumper.

lol, make sure thats not illegal because in NY they could claim that you are "impersonating police"

**Rooz** · 08-22-2005, 04:02 PM

they won't be on all the time, just when desired... mainly for shows...
