I have the 7's mounted in the middle and amied towards the middle and can not for the life of me get them to do much good, I've tried aiming them about a dozen times...

Any of you wiring gurus know how to rig up an idiot light or some other function to a momentary switch that will turn the light off and then reset itself so that if the load is removed and then re-applied then the idiot light will come back on again? Used to have number of functions like this in aircraft I flew...a light would come on and I would push the light to make it go out. Then when the...
I need to order several misc Deutsch and Delphi male and female connectors to finish my car. The car is mostly wired but I need to gather up the last connectors to connect everything in. Basically I have everything wired up the the fans or the fuel pump and need to right connector to finish it off. Where is the best place to make a small order from like this or anywhere local in Phoenix that...
My car is going to get wired this week and I am wondering which route to go with for my accessory connectors; Deutsch or weather-pack. 95% of the wiring guys I talk to choose the Deutsch connectors. My concern is if I have to switch or repair something out in the desert a weather-pack connectors is a lot easier to find parts for in regards to parts and tools. The tool for the deutsch connector is...
Over the past few months i have been looking into putting two ipad 2's in my class 12 car, one to run gauges and then another to run as a gps i have seen a motion x app for the gps i have seen some post about it but what does everyone think about it for racing? and would you suggest another app? now with the gauges it looks like Redline has products for this but i am still looking into this is...
This new Kenwood looks great - mil std construction, ruggedized for vehicle use, 60 watt output, user programmable (I am not a fan of non-user programmable radios), only $179. Has anyone tried it? PCI, will you sell them wired for intercom? Kenwood TM-271A
There have been a lot of people asking us if we were going to have a special on any handhelds for KOH 2012….so here it is! We decided to give everyone a killer deal on our Vertex HX370 radios. This radio is waterproof, dustproof, and goes around 5 miles depending on your surroundings. This radio retails for $255.00, but is now on sale for $150.00 until February 12th. Make sure to give us a call,...
Maybe somebody from PCI knows the answer but I searched the manual and all the menus on my new Elite 5m gps and couldn't find an option to display range rings like I had on my older Lowrance. Did they do away with this feature? If so, bummer. Another feature I liked was the ability to split the screen into two maps. Seems like that functionality is lost too. :(
Looking for a shop to rewire my prerunner in the Phoenix area. Looking to update the system and have the ability to add on in the future. Any Ideas?
Who all makes LED light bars? and which ones are the best? and why? are they worth it? Thanks in advance.
In the aviation world, Active Noise Reduction (ANR) headsets are common. Significant reductions in perceived "noise" and improved communications clarity make ANR headsets very desireable in prop driven airplanes (most units are designed to attenuate those frequencies best). I wear a helmet modified with ANR in an aerobatic airplane that is louder than any race car I've ever experienced; the ANR...

Hello all! I've installed an aftermarket Autometer sportcomp tach In my '93 Ford Ranger race truck and am having a bit of trouble. Everything is wired in but I'm not getting any reading on tach display. I did a bunch of research before installing and wiring It up, and everywhere I read said the coil hookup was the tan wire with yellow stripe. Well that's no bueno. I spliced in at the ECM and...

building a 69 Bronco DD / prerunner what would you guys use for an interval wiper switch mechanism ? It needs to be a dash mount switch. Thanks
My team and I have narrowed it down between the Kc Pods and the Kc Leds. Which is better or which do you prefer? Any video at night with them?
Can someone brake down, in simple english, why an off-road racer would want the hero2 instead of the original? I believe the new ones can record with higher fps, but that isn't super crucial to us. And regarding the wifi capabilities, you just plug the wifi backpack in and you could load the videos to your computer or iphone in the motorhome via wifi?
My XOG screen broke and I need to find a place to replace it or the parts to do it myself. It still turns on, I can see the screen and seems to function fine but since it is touch screen I can't access the menus. Any help is appreciated.
I picked up a used TK-730H remote head radio to put in my Baja and had some questions as this is my first expierience with the "legit" commecial band radios. Does anybody know where, or can anybody program a TK-730H for me in the San Diego area? I just purchased the radio and will need it programmed before a trip next weekend. I plan to eventually send it up to PCI for the race treatment and...
Anyone know what the two pin-out weather pak connector is for with the harness supplied by Turnkey for a MEFI5 ECH 2.4 Ecotec?
Does anyone have a wire diagram for a PCI wired Race helmet and car wiring harness. I would like to know what wires are located on the Helicopter plug? Also does the Positive wire for the mic go through the PTT button to the intercom unit. A whole car from radio to helmet diagram the way PCI does it would help. I can wire my own way to get it to work but I want to keep it standard. Thanks...
This could be a nice for offroading. If its water proof it should be dust proof. It will be 4G. Contract price is 299 so its a matter of time before the price drops a lot. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/pantechelement.jsp?wtSlotClick=1-007394-0-0&fbid=ItEfA9xwR78
Can some of you reccomend somebody to wire my pre runner. It is a complete job start to fininsh LS7, gauges, parker pumper, gps, hids etc. Thanks for any help.
Has any one tried Lowrance "Track your Buddy" With GPS and LVR-880 radio??? The track your buddy works by sending the coordinance via radio to the standard GPS and shows a temporary waypoint or Icon. Could be great to locate chase trucks or race cars when you dont have internet to use sat tracking. Called PCI but no luck on any good answers. Not sure if any radio with DSC will work or only...
Can anyone recommend a good 5 watt handheld that you can put in any frequency? All my race radios need to be programmed in advance. Every once in a while I go to help out with another racer and i dont have their frequency in my 50 watt radios. I called PCI and to my surprise they said they did not recommend anything. They said I need a ham radio but did not know where I should go to get one. Has...

I just bought a new Go Pro Hero 2 cam, I have issues with the new 32Gb card. All my computers recognize the card as a Ricoh MMC card but it does not show as a drive, it is shown as a HDD.....weird, my cam is not recognizing this card? is the card defective or does it needs some type of formatting? Thanks
