^^^ I don't want to come across as anal, but since I am sitting here looking at some of my AIR timeslips from March 2004, I doubt very much the track has been closed for 8 years ....

But, I absolutely love this part of your sig : "drivers use your brain and stay in the left hand lane." - I can't agree more. Even in a 60 zone the law states to at all times drive as near as practicable to the left hand kerb. Let alone all of the absolute losers I constantly follow doing 70 in a 90 zone (on the Port Expressway) sitting in the right hand lane. It absolutely shits me to tears. I don't care that they have no place to be, and no time to be there in - I am a very busy guy and every second counts .... when they are needlessly in my way I wish to do evil things to them. But they have no idea - they don't even understand why I am flashing my lights at them or a filthy look when I finally get past them. They have no idea they have blatantly broken the law and inconvenienced me to the nth degree.

yeah, of all the shitty things south australian drivers do, whoring the right hand lane and sitting 10 under is probably the worst. my sister is shocking for that, shes never out of the right hand lane, says its her 'right to use whatever part of the road' she deems fit. sigh.

thats cool. obviously AIR has been shut for a while now but i wasnt sure exactly how long its been, so i just guessed. i have read 4-6-8 years and even read on AdelaideNow that its still open lol. i'll change my post. thanks for the comment about my signature.

If I owned an old cooner with a bull bar I would be ramming her and all the people like her all day long. Oh how satisfying that would be.

Print off the road rules for her to have a peruse about how it is most definitely NOT her right to sit in the right hand lane. It most definitely IS the law to stay as near as practicable to the kerb at ALL TIME.

All good mate - I was just flinging shit. From memory the track closed in October 2004 - right at the re-start of Wednesday night street meets (after the winter closure). I missed the opening night and was going to race in the next one and they pulled the pin on it, quoting 'timing light issues', which turned out to be very poor ongoing maintenance, and some hungry rodents :P

i did. but shes stubborn to a fault. pretty average driver all round, cant maintain speed, repeated failure to indicate, tailgating, and shes the typical 'ill pay attention to something else instead of the road in front of me' female driver. hate getting in a car with her. and yet, im the hoon. figure that out.

She wouldn't be the only one though, there's shit loads of moronic drivers who don't pay attention or just plain think they're the only one on the road. I've seen police turn a blind eye too, so more than likely most of these people don't even realise they doing something wrong or illegal...... I could just go on and on and on and on and on.....

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
