Had a viper alarm put in fairly recently... i got the guy to wire the alarm up so that when you arm the car and the mirrors are open, the mirrors will fold in but he couldn't do it so that when you disarm the car the mirrors will open?

He mentioned something like a timer delay module, something like that, that's how he thought they worked on cars which had the option from factory.

He was going to run constant power line, but said even with the car off, it would drain the battery.

So yeah, anyone got their mirrors hooked to their alarms to open and close? I think Noof had done it, but i can't remember exactly.

autotrust has it on his (along with sunroof control)... but then he's a Viper alarm specialist so he should know how to do it :)

I haven't seen him around for so long, what's he up to?

cool, i got a viper alarm, nice. Yeah, i haven't seen Danny popup for ages? i think i got his mb#, i might give him a buzz..

anyone know what he's up to?

anyone else got an idea of how to go about?

Hey Ash, will your alarm mate come out and do an install on site? Does he also do stereos?

he will, but its going to cost you.

He works from home afterhours and has his garage all setup with tools.

To pack crap up and what not is a pain for anyone if you forget even one tool or dont bring enough wire or whatever

PM me guys if you want his number, im lazy, its easier to reply than me send one out :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

u referring to alarm or compliance?

the fold out was something he hadn't done before... and it's something that no one seems to have a straight answer for either, so i'm guessing it's not that straight forward

I'd recommend this guy any time to do an alarm install, he did a great job and know's his stuff well. He's even got a V8 RX7 that he built himself, one of these self taught ppl :(

but yeah, the fold-out had him stumped, but if you gave him a day and access to any Jaycar kit he wanted, i'm sure he'd get it going ;)

Spoke to danny about it last night. He's been busy with his new Celsior and other cock-smoking activities. He said his fold in/fold out was hooked up to his sunroof control (which he controlled with the Viper alarm).

He also warned that due to the nature of the power mirror switch, you could fry the switch/relay/fuse if you tried to use the feature through the remote while the car was running (something about the car wanting the mirrors out while the alarm was trying to fold em in).

Best to call him and talk to him about it.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
