Damn. Wonder if it's some relay...

That would be my guess.
Mine automatically wipes after using the washerfluid

 

[JDM_Pro5]

If I turn the switch down, it just sprays, if I turn it all the way up, which sets the wiper to it's highest speed, it also sprays fluid there.

Paint the Cutoff Shield in my Projectors to match my Midnight Blue

Had to do some running for work. Early morning sunrise, cold air, exhaust fumes, and one nice cell phone pic

If I turn the switch down, it just sprays, if I turn it all the way up, which sets the wiper to it's highest speed, it also sprays fluid there.

I lied, my rear wiper does not turn on when I twist the switch toward me to spray the washer fluid.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I figured out that turning teh switch down activates the wiper only. Turning it all the way up and holding it will dispense fluid and activate the wiper

Bought a CR3 Dead Pedal

removed all of the Plastidip from my center console and radio surround since it's a filth magnet. Resprayed everything in satin black

[JDM_Pro5]

Gimme me a minute. I'll run out there, take a few and upload them

 

[JDM_Pro5]

It's early here and it's foggy so here's the best I can do for now. Maybe better pics at lunch

Ooooooh me gusta

Did you do any sanding before painting? Definitely putting that on my to-do list, my plastidip is peeling around the stereo.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

No sanding, I used brake cleaner to strip all dirt and let it dry. I used High-Heat engine enamel in Low Gloss Black. Same paint I used for my intake and exhaust manifold cover

I want your ninja Cam

My daughter got it out of a 25 cent machine and lost interest in it leaving it in my car. It fit perfectly there. I would much rather have a red one to match my accents but oh well

This has nothing to do with the current conversation but anyways. on your short ram intake, what did you do mounting wise? I used the mounting bar that came with the kit and just jiggy-rigged it to fit.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

My kit came with no mounting bar so I made one. Where the coupler meets the MAF sensor, I made a little bracket that goes under the coupler and bolts to the block. Also, where the airbox was mounted (the gold bracket the radiator reservoir is also mounted to) I bent that down and let the filter rest on it. I'll take some pics if I remember to

So...........here it goes.............on the way home from work Friday, about 2-3 mins from my house, My transmission fudged up. I went over a train track while shifting into 3rd and then it wouldn't come out of gear. I 3rd gear'd myself to my neighbor's house who is a mechanic/airplane fabricator with every worldly part in his garage. We dropped the transmission last night before it got too dark and too cold. He tore it apart this morning to tell me the 1st/3rd shift fork is broken. I guess i'll upload photos tomorrow.

Scratch'n'sniff has a transmission at his house for parts and is currently pulling the part I need now for an awesome $50. SCMP3 is picking it up from him in 3-4 hours as well as a bumper. I'm meeting SCMP3 at a car meet in Charlotte tomorrow afternoon to grab the part. My neighbor is charging me $300 for everything. $350 is waaaayyyy better that the $1,025 I spent with my last transmission swap
