- Mon Jan 16, 2012 4:31 pm #290270 Some video how the sound dampening effects. In video it sounds bad cause there is really bad echo in the garage. In live, the sound is really soft.

Bad pic from rear door(s) sound dampening. The plates that close the gap are missing from the picture.



I also installed those mirror defrosters.



Next there is really boring car related video "How the ebay defrosters work". Tested in these conditions: I putted the mirror glasses in -15 for about 1 hour. Then straight from outside to in, and hook up with 12V 4amp battery. The video is like watching paint to dry

Then some cleaning:





Sorry about bad english. It´s hard to deal with these car related technic words.

- Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:56 pm #292295 Thanks for the nice feedback, i appreciate it a lot!

I managed to get a flu, but i still got the job done with the bushings.

I sweared like cursed in the garage when removing the old bushings without press. I didnt have any other right tools either.

Bushings from "normal" energy end link set to ITR-end links:



Old bushings.





Front lower control arm "big bushing" removed:



With ES:



All in:







then i thought that cause i dont have any use to the optional arms rests inside box, i could do something nice to it.

Parts are pretty much recycled, the only new part is the cooler, cause i wanted i silent one (9db):

- Cool side block is copper (from old Xbox 360 processor cooler which i removed the upper side.)
- Hot side cooling gets done with Xbox 360 GPU aluminium cooler. I attached a 9db 80x80mm cooler to it.
- 12V peltier element (cant remember the power)
- PVC(?) pipe
- Old lunchbox ripped apart to get proper insulation.

And the whole thing will be "bolt on" inside original optional arm rest, se the thing is revertable to original. I know that the fysics law say that the best place to the cooler element would be the arms rest lid. But removing the excess heat would be a big problem.

Some pics (prototype looks extreme ugly, but i promise that when it is ready someday, it will look very nice and OEM. :
