Great job bringing it back to life!!

Always happy to see one of these saved from the junkyard

 

Good job

 

Yesterday I drove to work and got an oil change done and an alignment, and tried to reset my srs light with no success.

car on the alignment rack


rear before making adjustments


and after adjustments


front before adjustments


and after adjustments, caster is off, I believe the drivers side control arm is bent a little.


if someone is selling or is willing to sell a drivers front control arm I would be interested in purchasing.

The oil was filthy

and oil of choice


Some pictures of the beam pattern with the ddm tuning hid system with 5500k d2s bulbs, I was misinformed that the 05 gsr came with hid headlights so I purchased oem hid headlights with no ballasts and one was missing the leveling motor so instead of purchasing an oem hid harness I just opted to use the oem non hid harness and just not have foglights for now. So it seemed that ddm tuning has had some good reviews so I gave them a shot. I think that the passenger side bulb is not aligned properly, its hard to see in the pictures but there is a black spot that I think is caused by a misaligned bulb. Overall i'm satisfied with the performance for what I paid for them.








I apologize for the crappy iphone 4 pictures but thats all I have to take pictures for now.

As for the srs light does anyone know if you can reset the factory airbag module? I borrowed a coworkers snapon scantool but I was unable to clear the dtc. I replaced all of the airbags, drivers seat belt, and the airbag module and started the car before realizing that the passenger seat belt needs to be replaced as well. So it triggered the srs light which I thought I would be able to clear after replacing the passenger seat belt but I had no luck yesterday. I believe the dtc stored is 035 airbag deployed detected. If anyone knows how to clear it please let me know, otherwise I guess ill have to replace the control module again.

 

There is a used airbag module on ebay in 'perfect working condition' for $40.

I'm surprised the snap-on scan tool wouldn't erase the code for you.

 

Thank you for saving her! Congrats and best of luck! Lots of fun ahead!

 

Great job on the revival

 

I am too, it kept saying cycle key and wait 15 sec but never cleared it. That's the only code stored. I hope that the airbags I put in are not faulty, don't want to waste money on an airbag module if that's not the issue, or go through more airbags.

 

replacing the airbag control module took care of the airbag light

 

wow! great job! keep up the good work!

 

Nice job on the paint, looks great

 

Sorry to bring this post back. But what all did you replace? Mines an 03 with both airbags deployed. Need a little help so I can stay my parts search.
