Like the title says, I haven't had the time, motivation or inclination to put a whole lot of time into detailing my car for the fest. Just a heads up since I know some of you folks are a bit, um, fastidious when it comes to your cars.

 

Hint Hint Geoff ! I wont' be there, but I had to bust Geoff's *****...

 

I probably wouldn't bother if i was going, since it would be like a 14 hour drive (next year!) and it would be dirty by the time i got there.

 

Off topic on...

Hey Manning my lights are alive!



Thanks for all your help in figuring the lighting all out...I'll give you my permission not to detail your car for the Fest. Of course i won't be there either...
Erich

 

Erich you should follow me down next year.

 

We could do that. Although I've done that drive before and its NOOOO fun at all....

 

manning, it will be good just seeing you there. dont worry about dirt, it adds character

sure i like to keep mine clean, but every once in a while you have to say f*** it. like i said, showing up is the most important part

 

maybe theres some fun way to do it which isn't much longer lol. I'm going as long as all is well with my car then (which it better be) so your welcome to come.. we'll see.

 

Michael,

It's going to be awesome meeting you

Micah

 

Well, it will be good to meet all of y'all as well. So far I've only met as many lister who frequent the forums as I can count on one hand and not even as many more as that who are e-mail listers.

Erich, what did you finally figure out about the lighting?

 

heh.. i'm pushing it just getting my car driveable for the fest, let alone clean.

At least your car don't look like this manning,

 

At the '03 fest several of us washed our cars Saturday. I guess there won't be a hose there.

 

what? My car is FILTHY! I swear!

 

They dont have car washes in Ohio??

 

Manning:
Here is what worked for me, the switch (which we knew) and a regular old early 944 fog light relay(944 615 231 00), this relay is large and plugs into two parts on the harness. The relay plugs where really hard to find under the dash right next to the steering column. I had to take out my gauge cluster to get at it.

Let's see what i have for pics...

Relay:

Relay (behind cluster):

Switch Plug behind A/C controls (on the right):


For plugging the wires into the back of the driving lights i used the same plug style as what is used for the front turn signals. You have to open up the driving light and make sure you wire the correct two into the plug, since you don't need the third wire/plug for the 'city lamp.'

Hope that helps! Thanks again for your help...
Erich
