Durn... you beat me to it... I have been slacking so, I have no cruise yet....

Good job. I know how hard the install is...

Thanks man. 1 down 1 to go.

How many hours did you work on this?

Any idea how much the parts would cost if new?

 

uh... prolly about 3-4 hours to put in new gas pedal assembly

probably about 6 hours building wiring harness

about 3 hours installing brain bracket/brain

about 2 hours finishing wiring

and another 10 hours of misc stuff...

i'd estimate 20-25 hours.... but since i'm doing two ITR's, some of that work for the second car has already been completed.

new parts from acura would be over $600, i didn't price them all out, but i chatted briefly with my parts guy.

 

Me too, me too

 

D,

Good that means you can drive your R to the central FL ITR meet / dyno day. I hope to see you there....

BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R! BRING THE R!

20-25 nice!

It is a PITA to get everything installed. I am just getting over the "can't cut on her" stage... But my daym leg keeps falling asleep on long drives.

SO cruise it was.

When most people say "why did you not get a GSR?" I turn and walk away.
The extra ~5 pounds I can live with.. hell I need to lose 5 pounds anyway. The comfort when driving is worth it.

so are you guys gonna use it to drive to the Expo?

yoshi - who's LC has cr00z control, but has nvr used it

 

I had planned in using it for “DA EXPO 2001”... but alas... my friend decided he would "conveniently" get married that weekend.

Maybe next year.... where every it may be.

Hopefully (plans roaming around in my head) I can help head up an eastern Expo....
hrmnesss.. but then the cruise won't be used as much...

Willis

 

wish i had the vacation time and money to use CC to get out to the west coast.

D

 

CC or not, driving the R at 80-85mph on the highway sucks no matter how you do it!

I just hate taching about 4K for many hundred miles straight.

 

dang if i knew that you guys were gonna install cruse control on your itr then id hav sold my LS cruise control for more than 40 bux. wtf, cruise on an ITR...well, i guess its like AC on an ITR. ill keep my mouth shut. as for installing it, good job! if taking it out was a PITA, i can see how installing it was 10 times worse. ah well

 

WHich is why you spice it up with some 6k 5th gear vtec akshun j/k

 

Gotta give props to D for doing a kung-fu job on the wiring harnesses and everything...it was the little PITA things (getting the cruise brain bracket on, 4 little bolts, took us FOREVER due to evil cramped footwell and useless bent-tyranasaurus arms...no wonder they went extinct)....but once we had it all done, it worked first time, no problems. Do it right and you don't have to troubleshoot...you rock D. Now let's get working on mine, i want Kw00z!!!

 

Aah.. I need CC too...
just add 1000 miles last weekend driving From/To Detroit...
gonna have to do it again this weekend... (no AutoX...hikz)...

There are times when my Left Foot was on the Gas and Brake pedal...
I took this Left foot training as a compensation for not going AutoX for a while...
