    Doing the speedo fix isnt that hard to do imma post up how i did it tonight and knock sensor. As for the fan, I would get a slim fan and put it right behind the front bumper and use it as a push. Just like the Evo's have it.

    actually everything fits up now, I just had to "adjust" some ac lines, I am still going to get some fans just because... The speedo swap works? I might have a bad speed sensor, it would be tight to get it to work, cuz I really don't feel like taking out everything right now to swap harnesses. I also don't want the speedo to bounce around like Drews speedo was. Where did you get the knock sensor from?

    Ooo ok.lol Ummm about the speedo...well there was no other way that nobody found on how to really fix it. I just did it how Galante and Cali sadi how to do it. Sorry buddy...this is untill someone finds out how to really fix this. I got the knock sensor from Partsgeek.com. They seem to have the cheapest prices for the knock sensor but sometimes they are out of stock....well most of the times.lol

    If someone knows how else to fix this speedo problem for us 02-03 G people that would be awesome.

    Ok, so I decided to do a little metering. I put the meter on the beeping diode mode, so when I have contact, it makes a beep and I know its the right wire haha


    My question is why on the 99 harness, do we have clear understanding where the signal comes into on the male side of c-17, but when we do the "hack" or "fix" on the 02 and 03 models, it doesn't work as it should, meaning factory. it doesn't make sense, as long as you have your ground, power and signal, in the same pins it should work. Now, I looked at the FSM and the speedo doesn't go into the PCM or ETACS ecu at all, there is a junction c-56 but it goes right through and goes into c-30 which is one of the cluster connectors.

    Thanks man! I know I was really supprised on how close it looked, I was a little worried, cuz in the garage it didn't look like it match, and I had to wash the g to see if it matched. I will deff go to the paint guy that I went to for now on to match paint. When ever you get to it, just shoot me a pm

    Thanks you sir, I plan on it, next step is it well, I'm not going to say haha, although I am thinking about making a rear underspoiler, just to clean up the rear a bit.

    So what does everybody recommend for sanding the base coat? Its a little rough, and most forums on the internet say not to sand the base coat, but i would like to make it smooth before clear so i have less work involved, and take care of a little build up in a couple places

    Wetsand it with 1000 grit or finer and be sure to use a sanding block and keep the paper very wet.

    a foam sanding block? spray bottle check, I should be able to hit it with clear after that correct? Meaning I don't have to dust it with base, and then hit it with clear? The sanding won't mess up the metallic flakes in the paint right?

    No you shouldnt have to re-base coat it. Just remember how thin the base coat is, you shouldnt be doing much sanding. A foam sanding block is fine, any type of block will do

    Nice work! You realize that the USDM rear bumpers came with the holes in the bumper also like the JDM's? Its the replacement bumpers that didnt come with the holes...

    I don't know what years but I think some of the USDM rear bumpers didn't come with the holes? dunno. Anyway, mine has the holes and I think they're cool :)
