My LEDs arrived

My first step is to get the shifter... well... shifting. I'm going to raid the Ratshack for my pots and resistors tonight. I'll be using 4 conductor telephone wire for running the wires to the control box with RJ-11 connectors on the box itself. This will let me connect, disconnect and add on with little to no effort.

Anyway, here are preliminary pics of the shift knob. I'll have more pictures shorty. Sorry for the blur, had to take them with no flash.

I think this will grab a few eyes when I'm showin the 3g off

Thanks for the compliments

It's gonna take about a month to get it fully installed if nothing goes wrong (But stuff always goes wrong, doesn't it?). A How-To? I'll try

**HostileJava** · 10-23-2003, 10:22 AM

Looks good, keep us updated with pics and diagrams

It's a replica Type R knob. It's actually a decent piece... all metal, but it attaches via the three hex screws (I hate that!). Found mine at my local Autozone.

**Sabz5150** · 10-23-2003, 08:03 PM

Test with the Autometer gauges. Sorry for the HORRIBLE picture, but without flash this camera sux.

**B16 ED9** · 10-23-2003, 08:30 PM

ok, dude, you need to explain how the hell ya did this

lol

**lightbulblxi** · 10-23-2003, 08:42 PM

niiiiiiice!!!

**Sabz5150** · 10-24-2003, 08:57 AM

Here's the finished control box and the board that everything will connect to. The three trimmers on the board are for adjusting the brightness of the LED's individual colors so that one doesn't drown out the other colors.

I need to get a translucent tube to act as a diffuser in the instrument cluster, more or less looking and acting like a neon, but LED powered. It'll provide a smooth mix of colors just as the plastic piece in the shifter does.
