[fouadbakht]

@all u i dont have a DSL neither a digi cam (seems like i live in iceage!) thats the main reason i cant upload or send videos/pics.use my mob phone for both jobs n warid is damn slow.however, ill try my best to do what i can. Family suffered a whole long week. I think ill speand more time with them n get cruisematec out of the top priority list for some time now

Agreed. We can wait. Your family comes first.
Btw, nothing compares to a DIY I guess and that too to such an extent. Your satisfaction level must have surpassed everything else.

i am already getting excited to see so many people at one place to whom i know in virtual space.

Fouad Bh, seems like a good opportunity to get some inspiration and first hand knowledge! You were thinking to install some branded PRE / HU?

Drive to Kallar Kahar from FSD is I think less Will definitely try. My kids will love too!

Pal, Hats off to your dedication, sleepless efforts and commitment. It was an incredible job, takes months of studying and experience to install this as a one man. I regularily follow Honda threads around the world to appreciate the hard work people are putting to make their Hondas more funkier and obviously reliable. Again, very well done, I will email you separately to ask for pictures if you can spare them. Good work.

Welcome to PW mark. Ill be in england end of next month. Maybe meet up!

Yeah exactly. Specially now when the families are also invited. I think its a good idea.

[lovesleeping]

@zunny please make an other theard of cruise control

[askhokhar]

I have full confidence in my negotiation and persuasion skills ... I will call you today and InshaAllah get your Haazri report!

Seriously, Viper is one of the most well known cars on PW, and it would not be justified to keep HIM out of the showbiz

It will be good if you complete audio install by then, but even if you cannot, even then it is important to attend. PW is like out family, and it is not good to miss the family events.

Plus Laadli would be happy to see her little brother there ... so try your best.

Khokhar bhai, Insha Allah will make an effort to join you guys. But will confirm by 15th insha Allah. Looking forward to this huge mega event.

Khurram Bhai ... Please do make it to KK. Many friends will be bringing their families and I think it will be a good opportunity for the families to meet as well.

I like the word "inspiration" ... it's translation is "khaarish/ khujli" .. once it starts, then it is difficult to stay away from that thing. I started with some audio set up in my car when I bought it ... then did minor upgrade ... and then fullfledged Khujli/ khaarish started. Present upgrade in my car is Phase-II, and in my mind, I have completed the total planning for Phase-III ... the inspiration/ khujli/ khaarish came from the Focal Beryllium BMW project, and I have every intention to go beyond that award winning project.

Let me share my videos from last night ... do leave your comments

lolz. Its this khujli/khaarish which made me to install cruise control in my civic after i got the audio controls to work other than that i know that how less this feature is otherwise used in Pakistan apart from those who have mostly highway driving.

Yes, utility of cruise control is very little even on Pesh-Isb M/Way. I could see it being useful in case its Lhr-Pesh. I have travelled a lot on Pesh-Isb M/Way and trust me, cruise control in even that scenario is not practical enough due to the distance to traffic to time ratio unless you are moving late night. But irrespective of useful or not, it is a significant achievemnt. You busted a myth actually that haunted our minds: Atlas Civic not being capable of Cruise Control. This shows that we could exploit Civic's potential and take it beyond what the manufacturer suggests. Great job once again.

[khurram_aziz]

You really have done a "cool" job! It doesnt matter its useful or not; as long as its satisfying (H)

For some weird reason the paddle shifters and Car Computer with OBD interfacing are becoming "khujli" for me. Whenever I discuss to do something with the car; a close friend of mine always stop me saying dont ruin the new car.

Anyone has thought about Paddle Shifters? or its just me?

I will definitely try; will ask my friend to company me as well. He was into car audio and had a passion back in FSc days and did some amps/woofers stuff in his mum's Alto. Back then I was the one who used to say to him that he is wasting his pocket money. His car audio passion with time has vapourized I guess and this GTG might work as "condensation" for him

Your thread is really an inspiration for car audio enthusiasts and your commitment for further improvement is even more inspiring! Good luck and we all are following your great work! The "Ladli" videos are great as always!

^^^Well IMHO, I think you should keep the car as it is for atleast sometime as it is under 2 yrs/50,000km warranty so better not play around with it till then. But if u cannot control that element of Khaarish/Khujli, then thats a different story.

I am myself a victim of Kharish/Khujli so really understand your situation.

This "internet thing" has changed the game. Back in early 90s your "khujli" could remain under controlled; you had to work harder to collect information, but now everything is at the fingertips. I remember when synthesizing sounds and sequencing music "khujli" developed after FSc. I had to do special orders for "Keyboard" magazine from where I learned some stuff and short listed my first syntheizer / sequencer. My uncle couldnt find and instead send me something else which I had to get replaced in university. Living in university' hostel you develop all kind of links and there I found what I was looking for!

I am trying hard to keep things under control for 2yr/50k KMs (A)

[askhokhar]

Zunny Bhai ... Please, please, please do not under rate your marvelous achievement.

Right from the start, I was apprehensive about whether you will be successful or not in this achievement. Believe me it is remarkable. That makes me a fan of yours ... !!!

I really wish you could overcome the DSL/ internet issues. I am really looking forward to see detailed photos and explanation. These electronic cars are not easily to tamper with, and you have done it. All along, I was expecting that you will run into difficulties, but you did it.. Bravo...!!!

Hats off to you ...!!!

That brings the khujli to me now. After I finish the audio upgrade, I am going to go after the cruise control thing in my car ... :)

[askhokhar]

Fouad Bhai ... I am so glad to see you "infected by khujli" ..

I tried to call you but got the reply that you are in meeting ... Please do try your best to attend. These are rare occasions when we can all meet and have real gup shup...!!!
