After '94 the JDM SVX models became a 'stripped down' version of the Version E and L models in a desperate attempt to cut the price and improve very poor sales. Many of the earlier features were dropped.

Wow, the Japanese fitted some really nice 'toys' to their cars that I wouldn't mind on mine in due course, namely the folding electric mirror (great for typical British car parks) and the light sensitive headlights.
The headlights can be easily sorted by just fitting a Clifford alarm with the necessary add-on module but the folding mirrors are another thing. If I could lay my hands on a set how easy would they be to fit? Are their any differences in mounting points, wiring loom or switchgear that would be difficult to overcome? Glenn

What is the point of the adjustable headlites on the Euro cars, and why not have them on every SVX?

It's a fairly common feature on UK cars which nobody ever bothers to use. I mean, you want to see where you are going - you don't care about oncoming traffic, right? I think modern cars have self-leveling headlights for this reason. |

I haven't seen any cars with auto leveling headlites yet.

Aha, know I know what a mysterious sensor is measuring on the front suspension of my A4. It is a resistor that measures suspension travel. If they put a second one in the rear suspension, they can figure out angle of the body relative to the road (if all wheels are inflated of course.).
Now I know how self-leveling headlights work... |

2 JDM spec in NZ
My family has 2 here in NZ, both are Jap imports (1992 models), as follows:
Plastic headlites Folding mirrors no Auto lights (except when you turn the key off, they will automatically turn off).... No headlite washers No sunroof BOXER engine cover ABS, AC etc Not sure which version of steering, but I suspect only Rev assisted. POWER button, and MANUAL on stick. Heated mirrors, front fog lamps. Rear spoiler 180KPH cutoff You INSERT the fuse to lock into AWD. Infrared Keys Panasonic radio/cassette NO 4WS Mine: No Auto door lock at any stage (but I suspect it may have been disconnected by whomever installed the aftermarket alarm). CD player in dash Drivers window switch Auto-up My mother: Door locks after 15KPH Drivers window switch NOT auto-up Matt

does anyone know if it would be possible to wire up a 'POWER' button on a U.S. car? unless there is different software in the ECM, shouldn't be too hard? anyone have any info./schematics on the power button?

Do you mean to just engage power mode? I think all you got to do is find out what two wires give it the signal and hook them up to a switch. 007's car had 2 toggle switchs wired in to the TCU, I assume one was to make it FWD and the other was to engage power mode, but we never tested them I just fixed the wires and disconected the switches.

Wired for Power
Hi Alan
have a look at the following from Terry McLane's very informative FAQ on the tranny: http://my.voyager.net/~tmclane/#_Toc482082587 I have the JDM power switch. It is very good for driving hard, as it will hold lower gears longer. Also, of course, it will kickdown with less hesitation, so you can overtake on demand, rather than wait for fourth gear to decide "He doesn't want smooth this time" I have stopped using it, and the main reason is the nervy hunting for the correct gear, either on slowdown or on a steady light throttle. Gearchanges are much smoother in Normal, if very annoyingly quick to select high gears. [These days I just leave it in 3. It makes little or no difference to the economy] Joe
