BUILD THREAD Project long time coming

[pagrunt]

Checked another item off the to do list. Upgraded my interior rear view mirror. I now have a compass, outside temp, and it's auto dimming! All for $8.64 from my local u pull it yard!

Slides right on, I did however need to get a 1/2" long 10-24 set screw because the mount on the windshield has a divot where the setscrew seats. The original screw that came with the mirror wasn't long enough and allowed the mirror to slip off.

Mirror needs a keyed power, ground and two wires for the temp sensor for it to work. Compass and auto dimming are built into the mirror.

Used an existing hole in the core support for the temp sensor to snap into.

What was the donor? Since I plan to give Jr. the factory dome/map light I still want to put one of those mirrors in his car.

Saturn Vue. They are many GM vehicles though. The main thing to look for is do not buy one that has OnStar buttons.

Well I'm back! Made the trip from Central NY to Bowling Green KY, 780 miles one way. 12.5 hours down. Raced Friday morning, and Saturday morning, drove 12 hours back Sunday. Only issue I had was it appears my Detroit Truetrac has taken a dump. Was intermittently locking up on turns during the drive home. I felt it during the last couple of runs but wasn't sure what it was. Was thinking I was just locking the inside rear tire up.
But overall, I would consider the trip a massive success. 1740 miles total in 4 days, no repairs, raced it, and had an awesome time! Photo dump below

3/4 of a tank of 100 octane at the track, because I wanted to smell it. Can't afford to do that again 😅
