new Galants

Didnt know it had a 2010 Galant had to Google it.

Looks good, resembles the Camry though.

[EVA Unit-01]

it kinda looked like a CS3A from d front, i find...

i'd forgotten about it, & wen i saw it i sez 2 myself, "Hey! Wot kinda Lansar iz dat?!"

but d guy get in & drive off b4 i cudda brace 'im

[ZeroOne]

Venum, what is the voltage of the Big and small instrument panel bulbs?

Im going to install LED's but i need to know what voltage to get.

[turbo_beast369]

ZeroOne dont u mean what wattage? not voltage...

doh study wattage...LED's use less current...plus those size bulbs have a standard wattage so wattage doh matter

[ZeroOne]

No i mean voltage.

I cant install a regular (1.5v) LED on a 6v socket it will blow the LED.

So i need to get the appropriate LED to handle the voltage.

[turbo_beast369]

oh i c

[A.W.O.L]

ZeroOne,if venum not sure pm equipp2ripp and ask him cuz he was sellin some time ago so he may have some knowledge on it too....

[ZeroOne]

A.W.O.L, equip was selling instrument panel LED's?

[A.W.O.L]

yeah... to my knowing...but i haven't seen him put up any in a while....

[venum]

ZeroOne, I never measured it

but when you remove the original, it should be marked on the bulb (if still visible)

remember teh CS IP carries a non-standard bulb

NOT like the a/c bulbs that I changed teh other day

the IP bulb is placed in a holder that you need to wrap the bulb contacts into




the bulbs get power from the board, not a separate wire

[ZeroOne]

I need voltage, i know everything else.......

The bulb does not have anything written on it.

I cant install a regular (1.5v) LED on a 6v socket it will blow the LED.

So i need to get the appropriate LED to handle the voltage.

[ZeroOne]

venum, a friend helped me to figure it out......

All the bulbs on the IP are 12V.

To use LED's ill have to connect them to a 820ohm 15watt resistor.

Im working on it right now.

Ill post some pics when im done.

Nice that'll be some good info cuz i want to do the same..

[venum]

Excellent info

Lemme know how u connect the bulb

Then I may do the same

Fellaz,

I hearin d boop noise more now, when I takin a sharp right corner at a descent speed, also when I go thru some ruff road

d noise only comin from d left side...I find it very odd that I start hearin d noise after I changed parts and aligned....I wondering if is d bearing in d shock head gone bad....

A.W.O.L u still get d same noise?

[TURBOT]

I was getting a boop noise when my cradle arm bushings were bad... Dunno if that could be your problem as well :s

[turbo_beast369]

nah those bushings change b4 i start to get d noise...actually it start to make noise bout a week after I changed the parts...

I changed, both OEM cradle arm bushings, OEM Sta Bar end link kvits and both ball joints....venum was there when I changed it by TONE

[venum]

Which side has the ball joint that appears to be crooked

Can be stabilizer bar bushings

One may be more worn than the next

Put car back on ramp and look under to see any signs of wear on any components

[turbo_beast369]

right side cradle is slightly bent....

thas d ting...if d sta bar rubbers worn then why would it make a "tock" or "boop" noise when takin a corner on smooth road

[ZeroOne]

Anyone know who is the fellas in bamboo #2 that deals with the lancers?

BTW the Led conversion worked, cant post pics because i need white LED's. (Store ran out)

I tried one blue.....its too dim.

[nes123]

right side cradle is slightly bent....

thas d ting...if d sta bar rubbers worn then why would it make a "tock" or "boop" noise when takin a corner on smooth road

check the front bump stop to see if its too low down inside the dish where the spring sits....mine makin the same noise but wen I fly over a ruff piece of road....my bump stops needed to cut b4 TEIN install... ..de excitement cause mih to say "fack dat"

[A.W.O.L]

A.W.O.L u still get d same noise?

Yup noise still there and the ting is that i not seeing anything out of the ordinary or looking worn..

Hi guys, do you have any idea if CS3 has a horn relay in place ?

I checked out the electrical drawing of EVO 9 and found out that a horn relay is there but am not sure if the horn relay is available in CS3. As I would like to install a snail horn and would save myself of installing additional relay and wiring.

thanks

[ronsin1]

if you are installing an additional load i.e. horn and pulls a high amperage than the stock horn you should use a relay. As the Stock system can only handle the capacity of the stock horn.

you will end up blowing fuses or burning the contacts on the stock relay

[cdetat]

Hi ronsin, I am replacing the stock horn with a pair of hella horn driving about 6amp in total. I'm not sure how much a stock horn is driving thou.

Any kind soul can share the electrical drawing of CS3 ? The drawing I saw in EVO has a relay with a fuse of 10amp.

ronsin1, help a brutha out nah! i tinkin bout changin mih horn 2...

[turbo_beast369]

if the two hella horns driving 6 amps total then u safe becuz the CS3 uses d same horn amperage as an EVO....send a pic of the hella horns u want to put....I doubt u hadda put a relay if you replacing d stock horns...

[cdetat]

hi turbo, here's the specs of the hella disc horn and pic. It says max 3.5A but I ain't sure if its based on 1 or a pair of horn but I'll take it as 7amp in total so that should still not exceed the max 10A horn fuse

Specification
Voltage = 12V
Current consumption = 3.5 Amp (Max)
Frequency:
Low Tone = 350 Hz
High Tone = 420 Hz
Sound pressure = 118 dB(A) (at 2m from source)

[ZeroOne]

How does that sound?

[turbo_beast369]

cdetat if you jus replacing your stock horns with those then its a simple plug and play...I thought u was talkin bout an air horn with mini compressor...there is no need to run a bigger relay...
