jg09 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Sold the GL-10 to a buddy of mine. He's gonna replace the tranny and do a few engine mods. He builds his own turbo setups, so I have a feeling that the GL-10 went to a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman03 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I like the thought of keyless entry! Do the lights flash when you push the button? I don't like Remote Start, Seen it fail 1 to many times (Even O.E equipped systems) Selenoid sticks on grinding the hell out of your flywheel, something interferes with a signal and your car sits in the parking lot for hours idleing. But I do like keyless and a door intrusion alarm! -Tom The Parking lights do flash. I'm going to re-work the parking light wire to the hazards or something because every wire i probe seems to want to turn the headlights on. (edit: If I turn off the lights when done driving (which i dont), they dont flash with the parking lights, otherwise they do) I've actually never had a problem with remote start *knock on wood*. although whenever i use it i usually am relatively near the car to check on it. (I park my car like 5 feet from my office- i can hear it from my desk), That and you can "kill" the engine from the remote as well. I LOVE the keyless entry. I mainly installed it for the reason of - I have NO key that fits the doors. Leaving it unlocked all the time seems dumb. 'corse at the same time locking it does too seeing as i'm stuck if the keyless doesnt work. so i came to a happy medium, removed the actuator from the liftgate, installed it in the driver door. and leave the gate unlocked. Cant "visually" see if its unlocked. and if you open it, the door intrusion goes off. ..... Now if i could only get the horn to work.. :-\ .. must be a relay or the horn itself.. or both.. meh. next week's project.

TheLoyale Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 That'll be cool, hope you can figure out the wiring (Hay stack) Check to see if your getting good ground for the horn - as the horn relies on ground in order to sound. But my guess is the horns then selfs are rusted closed. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(edit: If I turn off the lights when done driving (which i dont), they dont flash with the parking lights, otherwise they do) Just a thought on this... Did you try the wires coming from the parking light switch on the steering column? They always have power, and they only do the parking lights. I seem to remember on my old wagon that I installed an alarm with keyless entry on that I used those wires. I had the lights flashing no matter what on that bad boy, but it's been too long since then to remember specifically, but you should be able to get it to work. My 2 cents...

TheLoyale Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 A few pics from this last week on things I've done. Restored and repainted the bracket and all the screws for it. Same with the bracket for the fuel filter POR-15'ed the rear tool box area Installed high watt headlights: Luminics Titanium White 120/140w 5,500k Removed all the A/C lines and thae A/C Condenser, only thing left is the A/C pump. Popped on my fender moldings I pulled at "Subaru Heaven" I think thats about it, and heres a video of it Click me! -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman03 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Ya know i did try a wire from that (probed, and flicked the switch on/off). Granted, i didnt take apart the whole steering column. Might try that. I'd prefer the blinkers though simply because it looks cleaner. (the license plate lights and dash lights lighting up seem, well, notsogood) Thanks for the input though. Aside from the horn and possibly the parking lights. Next project: Wheel bearings!! I got a nasty rubbing sound (not tire rubbing) coming from the pass. side. OH YAY!. Then Converting the front marker lights to flash. Probably not in that order but still.. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4drbrat Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 put an alternator on the beast... working on getting the power steering mounted. The rear diff is on the floor - just welded up the spider gears, and now it's waiting to go back in Since this pic, I've narrowed the front end a bit...

vagen Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 picked up a rust free hatch for Casper and installed it. I will paint it when the car gets paint. I may add a stick on lip but there will be no holes drilled in this hatch EVER!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
