Thanks GSXR !

I actually plan to put my ASR defeat switch in the fader position.

I want to try and find an Ashtry module for the 500E as well.
I would like to modify it to hold some other switches, etc. Just don't want to cut up the real thing. The ashtray is $300 from the stealer.

I just need to spend some time checking the recyclers.

Finally got the last bits in - sorry for the considerable delay, but I couldn't assemble any more kits until I had the cabling. It finally arrived, so the last 2 kits go out this a.m.

Again, sorry for the delay, but I'm at the mercy of my suppliers (I source stuff from 4 different places for this kit)

Illumination Instructions For Michael's Switch

These instructions appear courtesy of the guy that did my install (Benny).

1. hook up the bottom pin of the asr switch directly to ground.
2. hook up middle pin to the asr relay
3. hook up the top pin to the illumination circuit from the rear dome light switch

defeat switches still available??

I joined this too late, maybe. Are you still distributing these switches? If so, let me know how to send you the $$!

Holy Blue Smoke Batman !

I just took the beast for a ride after a slightly unsuccessful weekend of reassembling the interior.
Got the new headliner in rather quickly but the carpet was a PITA!
The carpet piece did not fit well, I fear I will have to get another from the dealer. They are sourcing it for me already, but I just have to wait....

Anyway I tried the ASR Defeat switch and want to report it works well !!!

She caught me off guard when I got on it....
The tail went hard right. I am used to the beast behaving too well.
The sound of the Dunlop 9000's melting (265/35-18) was interesting to say the least! It was pretty warm (63F) and the windows were all open, when I stopped I was overcome by the smell of burning rubber!!!

Thanks again Michael!!!

I guess I missed it somewhere in the thread so.... How would the ASR defeat switch work in an S350D. Is it worth it? Will the car move faster from the jump? Who is the contact making the defeat switches and what has been the cost and the benefits. Any S350 owners have the defeat switch installed?

Thumbs up

Will a setup such as this work on a 400E with ASR?

Thanks!

Yes. Identical setups on the 400E & 500E.
