Haha, yea I remember you saying that when we were giving you shit about it last year.

Do you still have a bunch of those trim pieces?

Yeah I got a box of them :)

What do the window switches do?

Looks amazing. I don't even want to ask how you got the OBC to work...

The OBC was actually easy. Remember it connects to the instrument cluster, so once I wired the instrument cluster into the data/power harness (and it is identical to the real car, some have constant +12, some have switched, etc, you simply plugged it in and away it went. The speed limiter was the only other piece, and I needed to run +12 seperatly to the door gong, etc.

George provided me with a temp sensor as well to ensure that all worked.

The only OBC function that does not really work is Ave MPG, as I obviously cannot get that output from a RACING game...hah, and Range is a little wacky as it does not have the MPG/Fuel Rate input from the ECU.

The window switches...do nothing.. I just wanted to plug the holes, however at some point the left switch will allow you to adjust brake bias front and rear.

Dude awesome, I liked it when I saw pics of it and it was a bunch of cables everywhere and a potential fire hazard, now, it's a work of art. Props to you my man.

I need to modify the dash brace so the cluster can sit back farther, which requires me to basically take the entire thing apart...yeah I know I need to do it.
