Maruti Suzuki Wagon-R Stingray Ownership Review

[stingray91]

wah ! that's very nice quality. try fixing it metal to help it cool off. you can also add a diode on positive to help regulate power.

Led work , done
Yet to hide the strip using crome stickers.

looking beautiful!
guess yours are 5710 leds and not 5630. superb brightness.

Sorry it is 8250 leds extremely Bright.

Out put of leds are massive.
A meter strip consumes 22w.
I used 65% of it.
Satisfied with output.
Have to hide strips using something like crome stickers

Man that strip is too bright. you're almost pushing out a beam of light. you maybe attacked by cops or something. better use it only during day and turn off at night.

btw there is nothing like 8250 led. 5710s that's it what I think.

again a big sorry its 8520 led , in TN its not an issue having it in cars , like led works, these are not bright as skoda drl in octavia or i20 drl which some use in night too.

some more pics from slr

After a long time Adding a good post here in by waggy book .

Added a lcd temperature meter .
Shows Celsius, has sensor with a metre wiring.

Bought in AC spares shop
200rs .

Placed in corner of Rvm, the corner mostly blocked by rear seat head rests, so it does not affect the view.

Took sensor via head lining and made sensor to hang via, sun visor.

Hows it guys?

looks nice bro. but what's the use? does it show inside /outside temperature?

and please do think of other place to mount rather than irvm. how about A pillar or somewhere on dashboard near defogger vents?

Hi , First of all Congrats on you're Stingray, That color really looks blending.

Being a silent follower since the start.Now i have few doubts though..

Won't the LED beam be dangerously blinding for the oncoming traffic ?
What is the use of the Digital Thermometer you recently installed ?

Hi thanks bro.
It shows the inside cabin temperature
It works fine, i tested it out today.
I always wanted a temp gauge
For knowing the AC performance
Also i did not keep sensor directly to the ac vents so it can show false readings.
I kept in an area where the whole cabin temperature is.
So by this i can know all others in rear seats are having the cooling, i sometimes slow the ac because it cools me
But not for rear passengers, so i will switch to windscreen so it passes over head and reaches back
For this i need to ask rear seat members is it cool or i need to increase speed?
So if i have this i can watch it and make adjustments .
Also looks cool :)

I tried in many places but the lcd display dies in certain Angles. Also the White sensor whire looks odd travelling via black dash

So i tried via roof, but placing the display in vertical position, only orvm does, else i need to make a custom 90' plate and mount in top of wind shield.
Think ill do in few days

No led is not blinding, as it spreads over the grill , it becomes less intensive, instead i get the full grill glowing like a glory :)

I used this thermometer to know the cabin temperature so i manually adjust the ac speed once it reaches 26'c so it does not rich up to 22 or 18 'c and all of suddenly I'll turn off ac.

Hi,
Are you getting caught by Traffic police for the IND plates fitted in your car. Saw in many places in and around Coimbatore they are catching the vehicles with IND plates.

In that case that would be great enough to control the temperature. Manual Climate control aah ??

Ya, as i knew they do this for few day's and forgot about it. ;)
But i have removed the stickers.
But still can see new reg. Cars having it lol

 

[stingray91]

Changed the place of the display, how is it guys now?

 

[stingray91]

Made a DIY today .
I always wanted to know when ac compressor actually works, ie even if switch is turned on, ac cutts of automatically when compressor gets max pressure.
And waits for pressure to reduce by transferring cold to cabin and absorbing heat from cabin thus reducing pressure and compressor starts working again,
Note : its controlled by ecu in now a day cars.

Also i needed to know when radiator works when engine heats up or coolent temperature gets high.

So i took outputs from ac and radiator relays and used a 1k resistor with a 3v bulb with a mounting socket.

I took a dummy switch from cabin and drilled holes and fitted it.
Now i am able to see what's going on :)
