So I'll just measure the resistance needed and substitute a resistor for the actual light since fixing that connector is more effort than bypassing it. Quick note about the Yaw sensor switch, If you want to re-enable the sensor, you need to have it in the ON position before starting the car. Otherwise, it wont work or clear itself out.

I have a new fog light I got from Z1 a while back, but I need to re-buy the mounting hardware as I have no idea where it went. (likely the recycling center with the rest of my stock parts.) I have a three-way rocker switch for that one (on-off-flash)

If you need a resistor let me know. I have some extras laying around from when I installed my racing seats.

Well the problem is finding the appropriate resistance across the passenger light module, not the airbag itself. My multimeter won't read it (registers "overloaded") So I'll have my dad (licensed electrical engineer) check it out and see if I'm just an idiot or if there is something else I'll have to do.

Alternatively, if someone has a spare clip with the wires intact, I can just make a new connection.

Today it's parked at home because I remembered how much I hate the attention it draws.

Get used to it man. I'm under 36k miles and i'm getting ready to buy my 4th set of rear tires.

abm89 · 07-23-2019, 03:15 PM

If you don't go HAM, you should be able to get 20K out of tires. However, OEM compounds are designed to wear away fast. So, I'm not shocked.

Just pulled it into the garage for the night.

I usually go through 1 pair a season... under 15m km for rears. Fronts i get 2. There are even tread marks on the sidewalk when i pull in. Im not even driving that aggressively up. Wtf lol

That's seriously impressive! I definitely want to attempt a crazy trip like that, which brings me to my post:

Seriously considering pulling the trigger on some braum reclining seats (street use only) I'll still keep my FIA bucket for the track, but damn it would be nice to get in and out of the car without high thigh bolsters.

Day Two: 11:14 wheel hours; 824 miles. Drove through Utah via US 40 (parts were fun) and I 80 (mountains were sick AF.) Drove through Nevada via I 80, US 95, and NV 140. Went through Sheldon NWR, crossed into Oregon, and was immediately greeted by a thunderstorm, a loose gravel road, and an 8% grade down 2,000 ft. with large-ish rocks on the road.

Oh, and you can't pump your own gas here.
