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?

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 market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
