It doesn't. In daily driving, down shifting is just a way to slightly extend the life of your brake pads. Lightly feather your brakes to let people behind you know you're slowing down and rev match while you downshift so you don't get whiplash and you're golden. yeah, i just cant figure out why the one guy said it was bad... He's a n00b, give him a break lol lol silence..... but i've read and seen it so much i just assumed but see thats whats so great about this site i learn so much lol, i'm still considered a n00b because I haven't been on here for a year yet, but I have learn a sh!t ton more than i ever thought i would about this car!

so i will give you guys a little sneak peak at what I have as a small upcoming project (hence why I want a grill
 ) Just to give some details about it, this project will not be finished until my car is painted. Which will be around my April Vacation. I'm hoping to get the tranny swap done in March as well as another project  Only a select few will know about this one hahahaha |

so i received this mysterious package in the mail today with my name on it....
 What was lurking inside that package was MOAR! mysteriously smaller packages....  Inside that was...oh hey, it's just my JDM Power Folding Mirrors that I bought for $103 shipped. R516 switch with the internal relay. All the wiring clips were included too. (Don't mind the knife.)   So now, I have to get the Euro glass that has the built-in heating element and this mirror swap will be a success! If anyone else needs the part numbers for the glass, well here it is:(got the numbers from azian_advanced) Glass, Mirror 87931-2B800 RH 87961-2B800 LH This post has been edited by mkernz22: Jan 14, 2011 - 1:42 PM |

the external relay just requires a little bit more wiring, but if you can source and r516 switch you'll be better off.

QUOTE (alltracst185 @ Jan 14, 2011 - 2:24 PM) I got my st185 JDM power folding mirrors for $100 shipped NICE! So I already have the wiring figured out and them setup in my room with the 12VDC converter I have Very simple wiring, just match the colors. It like effing preschool, except with splicing wires. Found out that the gear in the passenger side one (our drivers side) is popping out and/or not catching properly when it closes so I will have to take it apart. Not a big deal though, it seems very simple. |
