yeah i was thinking of getting the same 3M splicers i used for my gauges but they are more bulkier than these blue ones. and it was tuff enough just to get the splicers in

, i got a feeling this wont end well.

i had to use different connectors. and now either the wire is melted or there is no contact in the connectors because it's not working. lol

-Alero- · 11-12-2004, 11:42 PM

^ wow that's not good.

well i took the car for a test drive, and i can feel the gears biting harder on that shift from P to D, and when ever it was shifting from 1st to 2nd i never heard the wheels chirp, but i noticed a little bit of a difference, but nothing really. then again i didnt really floor it considering i just drove around my neighborhood for a few seconds. i also tryed it on setting 2, thats when i really noticed a difference in shift time. but do you guys think im not noticeing that much of a difference because i could have a weak connection? i mean does it matter if it has complete metel to metal contact on the splicer? becuase i know its touching i just dont know how much is touching. just wondering if you guys noticed a big difference between stock or setting 1 thats all.

i noticed and still notice a difference between the stock and stage1

a good connection is important

-Alero- · 11-13-2004, 05:56 PM

how easily can you chirp the tires from the shift from 1st to 2nd?

Oldsman · 11-13-2004, 06:44 PM

ask jturkey. i get in to it about half throttle and at 35-40 mph

-Alero- · 11-13-2004, 08:29 PM

<_< i wish i knew if it was working enough or not.

-Alero- · 11-13-2004, 08:30 PM

do you think it can work at half capacity or would it be more something like an all or nothing full connection?

Oldsman · 11-13-2004, 09:08 PM

if your trac off light comes on then it is working. at least that is how i know mine is. it is all or nothing thing.

when you put it from P to D it should hit hard on stage 1. on stage 2 it should sound like you dropped your tranny.

-Alero- · 11-13-2004, 10:32 PM

yeah ok it sounds like that. but no i dont see my traction light coming on. but then again i only drove my car around the block for like 5 minutes, i never got to 4th gear or really floored it.

Oldsman · 11-13-2004, 10:49 PM

drive it around for awhile and see. i know another guy and i had problems with connection. had to back up and then go forward to get it to turn on but after i soldered now as soon as i put it into gear and start driving it comes on.

-Alero- · 11-13-2004, 11:02 PM

well you see i dont have a license so all i can really do is drive around my neighborhood

Oldsman · 11-13-2004, 11:07 PM

well i guess you'll have to wait. but if you say it is hard going from P to D then sounds like it is ok.

-Alero- · 11-13-2004, 11:29 PM

yeah, im pretty sure its working, now all i wanna do is drive it! :wah: :wah: :wah:

Jump in the passenger seat, and let a friend road test it for you. Then you can have him open it up, and not worry about your license.

Wildman · 11-14-2004, 11:23 PM

Question on the B&M also, can you change "stages" on the fly ?? Or do you have to like, turn off the car, pick a stage, and go with it till you shut the car off again or something?

Oldsman · 11-15-2004, 12:14 AM

this is not always true i found out. i have been able to have it off and stop the car put it into P and switch to stage1 and go to 1 and and it turns on. I also have been able to go from stage1 to stage2 but to turn it back off have to shut car off.

yeah why dont i just let one of my friends "open up my car" last person i ever let drive my car was my girlfriend and she drove around the block, and easily wrecked it. since then i dont even trust my parents to drive it <_<

lol hate to bring this thread back up but i just realized why my tries wont chirp when i floor it. its because they are too new of tires! -_- . it kinda just came to me about a week ago. because i got these tires and rims in early july, and about the first of august my license was suspended. and i baby'd those rims. i only really heard them chirp twice when i floored it at a stop light, thats about it. cause i know these tires dont even have 1k miles on em. dont get me wrong these probably arent the worlds greatest tires but still fairly new, because i havent lost traction with them any more than once or twice, and that was in the rain. :rolleyes: so yeah thats why they wont chirp, and no offence scot, but your tires are probably older and have more mileage and are alot easier to squeel.
