Alright got my rewiring done.

Followed a guide here and added a add-a-circuit to Fuse#31 (on with ignition) to a fuse distribution block. I direct wired my new Pivot Throttle Controller to the fuse block. Cleaned up the spaghetti wires under the steering wheel a little bit. Removed the OBD II splitter I was using for the Scangauge and the old TWPanson ETC and directly plugged in the Scangauge to the OBD II port.

Then I ran a power wire from the fuse block to the engine bay using the same grommet i was using for my amp. Wired up my two relays. One relay to the demon eyes. Now they turn on with ignition only and turn off when the headlights come on. The other relay is hooked up to the halos and turn on with the parking lights and turn off with headlights. Reason for this is I want to go longer before I have to rip open and replace halos burning out from the heat of the projectors. Also the halos were overpowering the demon eyes and can hardly be seen if the halos were on. I also have two XC controllers now controlling each set of Demon eyes and Halos.

Problems. My wife was out and I left the ATC fuses in her car's trunk. Fortunately the ATM fuses I had fit and worked! After I had the first relay hooked up, the demoneyes wouldn't turn off. Went back here in FF and figured I plugged in to Fuse#24 which is always on. Moved it to #31 and it worked quite well. It does take a minute to turn off.

The fuse block helps since I intend to eventually wire up a dash cam and maybe a V1 radar detector. Also need a connection for the fog light/4th brake light i'm working on.

Ignition on Demon Eyes on





Parking lights on -> Halos on Demon Eyes (Blue) on





Headlights on > Halos off Demon eyes off + Tritons 10% dimmed



Ambers on only:

 

Lookin' real good. I'm jealous.

 

thanks bro!

 

thats looks really good xryux139xx
if somebody asks you to do that to their fit how much you gonna charge?

 

its a PITA and i don't do quite a professional job yet. i'm always leery in effing up someone else's car. i don't mind coaching/teaching u as long as u want to learn. Besides when something breaks, you will need to know how to fix it yourself.

 

Here's my Pivot compact drive ETC I installed the other day. Hardwired to the fuse box no issues with turning on.



Big difference from the Freedrive ETC I got from TWPanson 2-3 years ago. I've always felt that my throttle was a little spiky. But with the Pivot the throttle is smooth. No other way to describe it. To think the units look so identical to each other. You would imagine that the Freepower one is the oem 'unbranded' version of the Pivot.

 

Just noticed I hadn't put anything about my wrapping on here
This is my snazzy globe box

 

Hi Harry22673, that is very nice material color,
May I know where did you buy that material?
what is the name of the material?
Thanks

 

I just got back from TintFX in Fairfax, VA - got the glass tinted with SunTek CarbonXP (CXP) film.
8 side windows, the rear hatch glass, and a dark stripe across the top of the windshield.
Front seat windows at 51% (VA law), all the rear windows at 35%
We were on a long drive to Harrisonburg & back Sunday - a bright sunny day and there was a lot of glare.
But even tho its late in the day today, and its a gloomy day to boot, I can tell this makes a world of difference inside!

And I think it REALLY looks great against the coppery paint color!

 

Ordered these for my winter mode! Cant wait to ditch the steelies.

 

Thewebgal.....were local! Never seen your Fit. We need to get a get together setup.

 

My First JDM Recaro Seat Rail just arrived,
this is the Right side rail, I bought it new at Yahoo Japan,
but it was on sale since it is New but Old Stock...

I am waiting for 2 piece/set of Left Side Rail,
yes I need 2 set of the Left Side Rail,
because I need to cannibalize one of the Right leg of the Left Side Rail
to be used for as the Right Leg for this Right Side Rail Seat Belt Mounting attachment...
I learn this trick from a member of crz forum named "ITEM9" ...

 

Was an eBay job and would work out to about $2.50
Just search vinyl wrap on there and there's loads of different sellers with different sizes

 

My Pawson quit after about 3 years. My first experience with Limp mode when it happened. I picked up another one off Ebay. Different brand. Seems to work well. I use same location as you. I run in Eco 2 mode most of the time. Going back to stock for a bit I found the throttle too jumpy.

 

Rotas? 15 x 6.5? Nice.

 

Yep, plan to change the colour but its too cold now to plastidip so ill leave them white for now. Goodbye steelies.

 

I need winter steelies! Really dont want to use my Volks during the winter.

 

Mine should be up for sale within a couple weeks

 

luckily no limp mode for me. it acts up everytime i start the car. it will either turn on or not turn on. when it does turn on it doesnt remember the last setting and ill still have to change it. the throttle was spiky. it was bugging out the scangauge too since it was using a odb splitter. this time i hardwired it for power and no issues now.

 

Thanks

Ohhhh...are these plug and play? Thanks for letting me know what you're using
