Wow what a nice and clean gearbox. 8)

Love the way you are setting up the car and also everything around the car like things as sponsoring and the team clothing in such a professional way. Already ordered a big enough cabinet to hold all the trophy's? 8)

Thanks Johann! Couldn't do it without the support from the sponsors! Looks like I need to plan a trip to IKEA!

Last week we had 3 days of monsoon type weather, but now it is 70 degrees F, and nice out!

Vinyled the trailer/rig today. We are quickly outgrowing the trailer...:

That's easy;

Press the Youtube button; copy/paste the Youtube link between the {youtube}here!{/youtube} than delete everything in front of the '=' including the '='.

The Youtube code for your video is '1PsnTm_ZF6o', that would make it {youtube}1PsnTm_ZF6o{/youtube} but than with [] instead of {}



Tadaaa!! :lol:

Oh, awesome to see it back where it belongs!

Having issues re-installing ABS into the car, as it is legal in our racing class...

We reinstalled an ABS only control unit, speed sensors, ABS pump, etc.

After installing the factory brake light switch, the the throttle does not work (blip) when there is pressure on the brake pedal at the same time. We removed the terminal from the ECU (number B26, yellow wire from switch) and still had the same issue. We put that back together, removed the CEM, and removed terminal number B4 (yellow wire) and the same problem persists. Only by removing the fuse for the brake lights (I believe fuse #12 under the hood) does it work ok, but then the brake light switch does not send a signal to the ABS, etc.

We are not sure what to do now, but hope you can lend some insight, ideas, etc. I know in our S60R and S60 T5 we are able to apply the brake and blip the throttle at the same time for downshifts.

Any insight?

Are you still using the stock brakebooster?

I can brake and blip the throttle while downshifting (need to practice a bit more though..) :shock: :lol:

Still using the stock brakebooster, hence 1/2 the reason we are re-installing ABS into the car (can't feel much through the pedal). Think we have it solved after doing some testing on the Cross Country. With the brake light switch pressed in the 'off' position all the time, ABS still works, however brake lights do not. Just have to re-wire the brake lights the way they were prior to installing the ABS. Hope this works.

Have another test day on Friday at New Jersey Motorsports Park, and Jameson Riley will be co-driving the car to further help us develop the car/setup. First races of the season Saturday and Sunday!
