One Hour

Okay, I just took a whole hour out of my busy day to install Ian Cull's Auto-Up mod and the 3rd brake light pulsar from Minigo. A whole damned hour (like I have the time!)

I followed the instructions to the letter and had all the proper tools at hand and did it in a well lit spot and everything!

And damned if they didn't both work, as advertised, first time out!!!

I am one happy modder!

Thanks Guys!

Well the restroom is out anyway

Because I have to drive around finding some *** to tailgate me, so I can dazzle them with the 3rd brake light.

In the meantime I am putting the windows up and down like some air crazed fool, just to relish in the fact that I can do it with a double click.

It has been said before, but Ian Cull is a god. This mod was so easily done that I cannot believe it!

The instructions were well thought out and geared to the level of a total idiot, without being condescending. The product does what it says it does. If I had seen the need for an auto off DSC, I would have gotten the deluxe circuit, but I don't use the new girl on the track so I am okay with that. But I'll bet that ANY of Ian's circuits do exactly what he say's they do.

The 3rd brake light pulsar also came with clear concise directions. The only problem I have with it is that the people behind me are, always have been, and always will remain idiots. So unless they come up with an oil slick dispenser, I am still at their mercy. But for 25 bucks, I will add anything I can to get their VERY limited attention. (hard to see when you are putting on make-up or talking on the phone)

So far I am so very happy with this car! Also nice to know that with a simple set of Torx drivers ($5) I can do almost anything in the car. Actually, I never needed anything more than my Swiss Champ, which I carry religiously. I did the entire job with it.

I had read somewhere on NAM that there is a hidden feature on the Ian Auto Up that you can program a single click auto up, just can't remember exactly where though.
