Default Question about rear-end...

Ok, is it just me or do both the TA cover and MAC covers look like the exact same cover here:

http://ls1speed.com/catagory.cfm?catagory=rearend


If so, it also seems like the MAC cover comes with the stud kit when they say "2 adjustable supports". For $130 that's damn good! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Another question, in an A4 what do you think is the best ET these rears can handle?
What about best '60 foot times?

I f'ed over my rear a few months ago last winter and i was pulling 1.8 '60s at 12.9.
I now have a VIG3800 and a new Stage 3 built tranny and a cooler.

How much will one of the girdles actually help? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />


Thanx a ton in advance! <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

You press the unlock button on the remote once instead of the stock configuration of twice to open both doors. So now, when you press it once, BOTH doors unlock, no need to press it again to unlock the passanger door <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">For those of you who dont know...progressive door locks is when you hit the unlock button
on the remote once to unlock the drivers door and then hit it again to unlock the
passenger door. These instruction are on how to bypass it so that both doors unlock on
the first press. The second press of the button will now be an extra channel giving you the
abitlity to control other options such as remote start, window roll down, turn on radio,
whatever you can think of that needs a pulse to activate.

1. Look under the glove box. You will see a black panel that covers everything above it.
There are two clips right at the base of the glovebox that holds the front side of the panel
up. Remove these to clips so that the panels hangs down giving you access to the wires
above it.

2. Look for a green plug. There will be five wires in it.
-Orange/Black stripe
-Red/black stripe
-Grey/Black stripe
-Tan
-Grey

3. Unplug the harness. The female side is the bigger side and is light green. The male
side is the smaller side and is dark green.
You will be working with the female side.

4. Cut the grey/black stripe wire on the female side.

5. You should now have a short length of wire going back into the female plug and the
other side goes back into the wiring of the car. Splice the side going back into the plug
with the Tan wire.

6. The wire that goes back into your car is now your extra channel on your alarm. Its is a
12V pulse.

Most remote starts and window modules need just a pulse to activate. This will give it to
you now from the factory alarm. Installation of these components would be done just as if
there were an aftermarket alarm except that you would hook the trigger wire to the
grey/black wire that is left over.

I wont go into the specific wiring of the extras you can add since there are so many
different types out there and all the wiring is different. I will however recommend DEI
products (makers of viper). I can give alot more assistant on installation of these than
other brands. I can always walk yall thru the installation of the other equipment. All I
need to know is the make and model of it.
Hope this is enough info for everyone.

Hope that helps.
