Re: cat circles

Didn't work with my cat... Saw it a few months ago...
Mine prefers anything placed on the floor that she can fit on... A4 paper, laptop, ps3... Any clothes...
Is funny though.

Temp sensor wires... Take out glove box, up and to left is a big rubber gromet...
Get some garden wire or wire coat hanger and carefully push it through, tape wires to coat hanger and pull trough :)
Route it whatever way makes you happy under the bonnet :)

Re: Led switch/button adaptation

Check out crazy LEDs.com... They do the switches, money back if you send your old ones, if the don't have them... Post them yours and they will do them. Should be able to customise the colours if you ask... Get on google, there are loads of threads on other forums about the heater panels and resisto...

Re: Cavalier 1.6L

I had standard LED in my DID and looked fine, red in my purple Cav and blue in my auto... It looks crap in the analogue clock... But so does a standard bulb... People have been doing LED 'upgrades' on the heater panel :) I always upgrade dash lights and others to led... Don't need the dimming lol. I...

Re: Cavalier 1.6L

Unless your fitting dim able LEDs they won't dim...
When we wired in Andrais turbo gauges we went from the clock illumination as that was already dim able :/

Might be different on your cav... No 2 ever seem to be the same lol

Re: Audio upgrade

A lot of people steer clear of 3 way and stick to component... If your upgrading your speakers, maybe look at the speaker wire itself... It's 20 years old and prob low quality... Jump on Google or audio forums and get there recomenndations... Amps under seats are cool, but make sure your water tight...
