Your ac controls were to the bottom all the time?

[ZeroOne]

I doubt it he probably going to do some kinda conversion.

Once is electronic controls he shouldn't have much of a problem.

[thatguy3832]

too much headache to convert that looking for a dashboard right now getting it for $3500

[TeamH2O]

beware of engine mounts outside the firm....i got shafted with mounts that went bad after some weeks and the second set after a few days!

Original location for ac control... Wanna relocate to pocket where cd change currently is!

From the link in an earlier post, the relocation looks quite easy actually and it would be cheaper than buying a dash for $3500! For that money i getting 2din kit and head unit!

Hey guys, i decided to swap the connectors on the radiator cooling fan controller/regulator in my CS2A to see if the unit was faulty since i recently discovered that only the left side fan is working at the moment and the other is not . Luckly the left fan worked so now i know that the regulator is working. Okay here's my problem the right side/ac fan is in a square metal shroud/frame will i be able to get a replacement unit ? Because the fans i saw at dollarsavers have a circular frame i dont know if those might work or should i go hunting in the bamboo ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Ted_v2]

bamboo, OR look for something with a motor that can swap

this real bad

[mety57]

hey anyone has a cs tiptronic gear shifter

[Rooki3]

whuy not use an A/C control like this, look alot better

[thatguy3832]

Because that's an electronic HVAC we have cable type you'll have to do a conversion I don't know how time consuming it would be

[Rooki3]

is this electronic or cable

[PapaC]

There was a double din for sale here in the forum with that same setup about a year ago. Same a/c controls.

[fras]

whuy not use an A/C control like this, look alot better

If I get 1 free
On second thought... I dont think it would work (they have different functions) look at both unit closely

[ZeroOne]

is this electronic or cable

Electronic.

I asked my AC tech to convert mine to electronic, he said thats like changing the whole AC system.

[Ted_v2]

Anyone knows whats the estimated price for a pair of CS front calipers, rotors and mounting brackets?

basically the entire front braking system

[turbo_beast369]

FOR ALL D GUYS IN HERE THAT DID A BIG 3 UPGRADE:

which point did you ground off the engine block to chassis and what guage wire did you use?

[idlemind]

Cant rememeber the gauge, think its 2.

My points are -
Chassis (where the HID ballast bolted) to Alternator
Alternator to Throttle Body
Throttle Body to Engine block (any bolt near the thermostat)
Engine Block to Chassis (where the negative wire from the battery run to)
Chassis to Negative pole.

Everything daisy chained.

[turbo_beast369]

me eh goin thru all dat lol
I already have chassis to negative pole (4 awg)
I just have to run a wire from positive battery to alternator
and engine block to chassis

[ronsin1]

so I have another problem which I suspect was the original problem I had it seems as the Step up motor is defective. The idles good with out AC but once AC on the Idle Drops and car sometimes cuts off.
A scan will be done over the weekend as at one point when the car was rough idling the check light came on and cut back off.
Hopefully the ECU stored the fault.

So I had the step up motor changed and the car worked good for a couple days then the problem started back but this time with the AC off.

I had the Car Scanned this morning to find a fault code for the Cam sensor this code was cleared from the car and right now it is working. I have been told that it the problem pops back up to scan the car again so that we are sure that it is actually the cam sensor.

[mitsucolly]

Can anyone suggest what's the best coolant to use in my CS3. DIAQUEEN Super Long Life Coolant is really good, but apparently hard to get. Any better alternatives?

[EXODUS]

glycoshell is what keep me going... wrks like a charm

[ZeroOne]

where sells that?

[mety57]

looking for tiptronic shifter guys

[fras]

who running megan racing lowering springs?
whats the average drop and ride quality?

[EXODUS]

gives an awesum drop... 2" - 2.5" ... perfect fitment but ride is crappy even with nito shocks and 40 series tyre. Do not Buy...go with the Teins or sum else...
