Something interesting... (JDM Related)
 

This gauge cluster is currently for sale on the japan version of ebay... in the pic all the wraning lights are lit up. You can see the 4WS warning light in the upper left ring. :D

If you open it up on ours, that place has a black square on it instead of the 4WS tag. Also on the FWD version, AWD tag is blacked out as well

I don't think that AU got the symbol that shows that people are not wearing seatbelts (top right gauge).

Green1995SVX, go on ...admit it....bit by bit you are completing a JDM SVX in your garage!!!

:D

I WISH, James. :D I also wish I had a garage! :eek:

Mike

Mike,

Let's compare notes. Which parts of your SVX is currently JDM SVX?

:D

On mine, I have the coner lamps, the hood badge, repeater signals (although they are not JDM part) and the rear lens assy (also although it is not JDM part).

Lwin

ive got the hood emblem, alcyone rear tail light, power folding mirrors, boxer engine cover, delta speed lip spoilers, and the K&B lowering springs. I have a couple more things coming soon. :)

Mike

POWER FOLDING MIRRORS!? KOOL!

I've got the hood emblem, K&B lowering springs, steel brake lines, and I really WANT the BOXER TB cover. Where did you get it?

contact paddlesnz for anything JDM.

OMG OMG OMG!!!

:D :D :D

How much? Hard to install? Where does the button go? For both sides? Still heated?

This is a very common thing for the JDM market (Euro and Asian) cars. I assumption is that most mirrors will work fine with the SVX and that you can save money by not getting an authentic SVX mirror.

Lwin

Yeah, but I want it to be exactly stock looking, so my friends can be in my car, and I go into a parking lot, and press the button, and the mirrors fold! I LOVE IT!!!

But, some of my friends think a power antenna is the coolest thing ever :)

I paid roughly $50 US for both my Geunine SVX mirrors and the switch. I had to run the wires myself, but it was very simple. They were off a car that was being parted out in japan, so they were used parts.

Mike

Yepp. it will be stock Normally, the JDM models are controled by a remote or tied to the ignition of the car. When the car is running the mirrors are out and when the car is done parking and when the passengers leaves, the mirrors folds in. Great in european and asian cities with smaller roads.

Lwin


As for the power antenna, what can i say, I want to take it off. want another one?

Lwin, actually, the mirrors fold only when you use the switch which is located in the same pod as the power mirrors. The mirrors can be opperated in accessory, and on, but not with the ignition off. They do not have any automatic functions. There are pictures of the switched in my locker. :)

Mike

I was thinking of putting 5 inch LCD screen instead of mirrors... now I have to go find me a camera that can capture heat images. Seen any wracked caddies around?
