how to make hiper blinkers
 

I have been looking for hyper blinkers for my 87 rx7, and I can't find any. I am told that with some cars (hondas) you just get lower wattage bulbs and that sends a message to the computer that they have burnt out, so the computer makes the turn signal flash faster so that you know they are burnt out. But another idea is to get higher wattage bulbs so that more electricity flows through them. this would make electrons build up faster on the capacitor and theoretically make them flash faster....yeah right, this should all work, but thats what i thought with my turbo. I need some advice from someone SMART!!! thanks for any advice or suggestions.

Am I the only one who's going to ask what the hell are hyper blinkers? Obviously, they blink faster, but why?

Anyway, sorry, I can't help you. I know nothing of what you speak. :)

when using your turn signal, don't press the lever to where it locks--only press it down far enough to make the lights blink. Now, tense your arm up so it has an epileptic fit. If you do it right, the lights will flash quickly, and erraticaly. It really freaks other people out.hehe

Sorry i can't give you a hardware solution..<G>

:rolleyes:

Try gotrice.com. This forum is for performance mods in my opinion, not rice. The blinkers work just fine as they are, and hyper blinkers really aren't going to make your car any faster, I promise.

well..hiper blinkers just blink fast. they look cool...thats it. and by the way gotrice.com? wanna race? watch a "ricer" with custom turbo, exhaust and intake burn your ass!

They look ricey, not cool at all in my opinion.

Well I'll be nice and annswer your question. :)

If you use a different watt bulb, it should do it. When I replaced the bulbs in the front turn signals, I accidentally screwed them in the wrong way, but that made them do the fast blink also.

Haha, you're from SD?? No wonder you wanna do that. I used to live in Mira Mesa and every "racer" guy I know in North SD has that. It's one of the classic "racer" things along with:

-Single wiper conversion
-Black steelies in front
-Cut Springs w/ stock rims

I don't recomend these things for your RX-7 though, but it "looks" "racer" though.

my left blinker in my rx7 '87 blinks fast and my right one blinks normal...So im sure you can make it blink faster by shorting something out...My car is in a bad need of re soldering of all the solder points - its never been done before.

Man, are you sure you want to do the fast blinker thing? Around town the ONLY people I see with the hyper blinkers are Riceboys buzzing around in the civics, etc. If they cant make their CAR faster than you, they can at least make their blinkers faster than yours... :rolleyes:

hey, i figured out the blinker thing. i know some of the rice boys have them. Think of it like this.... some guy in his muscle car pulls up to the line thinkin im a ricer boy. i turn the blinker off, rev my engine, and then i hopefully kick his a**. a ricer is someone with stickers and lights and all that shit, but ive got something under the hood as well.

Rice!
 

Then you just look like a ricer with a faster car than most, but it's still rice.

All I see when I see cars with those fast blinkers, is that they have a burnt out bulb, or broken wires.

Am I cool?
 

I drive a 97 Camry everydaywith an erratic blinker due to a blown bulb...I had no idea I was in stylle!! Screw fixing it...Im selling my Turbo ll and using the proceed to get a bunch of stickers, all clear lights, a t.v. screen, washer lights, neons, and a ridiculously HUGE spoiler. Lets not forget the coffe can axhaust tip and cold air intake! These are the things that make a 4 cylinder automatic Toyota fast...these are the things from which dreams are made!

Actually its not the bulb that will only change the intesity (brightness) of the light. What you need to replace is the relay up under the dash to one that isnt stock. You might need to buy a couple to get it the way you want it but they are cheap.

Of course "hyper blinker" looks :gay:

get strobes :D

Re: Rice!
 

Damnit Im guilty of an unpainted fender, large exhaust, and a Tach.

I never thought I was a ricer, but now I got the truth. Im going to cry my self to sleep.:pity:

guess im a ricer then
 

well i guess i am guilty of being somewhat of a ricer. but i would just say im someone that has some ricey shit on my ride, but its still fast so who gives a shit. and id bet it looks a shit load better than most rx7's...ill upload a pic as soon as i get one.

as long as it doesn't look like the one guy whos trying to sell his riced out white FC in the sale section :-D

*cough* https://www.rx7club.com/vforums/show...threadid=36188 here ya go

hey i actually like that car
except the stickers, the stripes and the owner (if u have a car that looks like that and you havent ran the q. mile then u r a fag) maybe needs a different front bumper and some engine mods!!!!

Re: Rice!
 

I guess all FCs are ricers. The stock tach is 4".

DARN!!! Protege Menace just beat me to it!:D

well....okay, I know how to do the :gay: fast blinkers...lets just say it has something to do with you opening up the relay that controls the blinkers and a resistor...

ummmmmm not that i really care, but i think you can buy a blinker plug thing from auto parts stores and just plug that in behind your other one. theoretically that should "hyper" them.

i think it just looks stupid though. it is kminda irritatin when guys have those bright ass strobes

Justin

the way i did mine was i opened up the flasher unit and figured out which resistors to change. one controls the on time and one controls the off time. just switch the resistors with ones that will let more current through.
you cant buy one of those blinker control boxes, the one that has the knob on it to determine how fast it blinks, cuz those only work on cars where the flasher unit has three prongs. ours have six or seven.

look cool??
maybe for some ppl, i am fine with that

but the clicking sound is definitely annoying....

The link is dead :(. What was the deal with it and did anyone save the picture?
The thread must have been bad enough to get deleted.

Nevermind. I found it. I just did a search of "white rice" in the for sale forum and it popped up. I'm pretty worried that the owner decided to keep it because he wanted to upgrade some stuff on it. I'm picturing maybe a bigger wing, wider racing stripes and 100% covered tail lights.

OI :(

Incredible......
 

Read most of my posts and, you KNOW I had to chime in here....


The "RICE" phenom, came about because of various racing and show car effects that were produced for these arenas in particular.

Others saw a cool mod to a race car, couldnt afford it, but could emulate it. (fake it)

The show car mods, lights, etc., looked cool and attracted attention in the tradeshow, whatever.

So, these were put on the street.
These mods too, used to cost big $$$ because neon used to be cut, drawn, filled, and sealed by hand. Same with most any other "appearance mod", all crafted by hand.

Now, there are cheap replacements for these things and cheap fakes for the racing mods.

All designed to mock up somthing that about your car "isn't".

So, lets break out the definition of "RICE" as it is meant today by most that use the word.

Rice = cheap, fake, gaudy (overly flashy)

Examples:

Polished folgers can JB welded onto your exhaust tip.... RICE
TYPE "R" sticker on your Dodge Neon.... RICE
Sticking one windsheild wiper halfway up the windsheild... RICE

I have nothing against making your car look nice.
but as a rule of thumb, if its sold in the isle of a autoparts store, its bolt-on, mass produced, and designed to attract those that are trying to make their cars "pretty" then its really not worth it.

This goes for those cheap chrome accessories for V8s and those fake braided hose covers too!

RX-7s to me, have a heritage, a past born in racing, conceived by the best engineers, necks were stuck out, people were wowed, the later versions were eventually considered so exotic they wriggled out of the US market alltogether.

If you want insight into what would be attractive, yet remain in the relm of reason and good taste, especially the kind of thing that would make a RX-7 look nicer, then think about what Mazda MIGHT have done if your 2nd gen were released today?

How would it look?
What would they have done?

Since I'm talking about the subject, i must have opinion here, and I fathom a guess that the body would be a bit smoother, slightly more round at the creases, more powerful/ stable engine (renesis type), perhaps the turbocharged models would have a supercharged counterpart instead of a N/A, (many companies are supercharging at the factory now instead of making a N/A OR turbo version).

Also, better interior electronics, although they insisted on simple analog guages to keep with the true "racing simplicity" idea, perhaps there would be a digital indicator stuck in the same gauge face too?

The GXL could have a nicer logicon with navigation system?

Certainly the taillights could be LED (uniform solid matrix like the cadillacs, NOT a small cluster of LEDs like you get at the rice stores - these are illegal for street use anyway *note*)

These are just a few mild ideas.
I don't think that they would go beyond that, aside from some braking and suspension mods.

I think that if you give yourself a chance to read the history of these cars, learn about the creators, look at the projects that these engineers and engieering teams are working on now, you will "get" the idea of what performace mods you could do, that noone else has, and that they wish they had.

That's the difference between Rice and Nice.

Ultimately, I prefer to think of it this way...

Does your car say "HAY, LOOK OVER HERE, Im HERE ITS ME HI HI HI!"
(Like a self important 9 year old walking into a room of other self important 9 year olds.)

Or does your car make people say, "Hey, did you see that car?"
perhaps even, "what kinda car is that?... Thats cool".
(Like walking, handsomly dressed, into an "event" nonchalantly, not caring what anyone thinks, but secretly you know you look good.)

You know, the kind of thing that makes you think of the car for a while after its gone.
When was the last rice car you thought of for a hour after you saw it?

I'm talkging about "Flash-in-the-pan" vs. Genuine style.

Is this making sense?

Or do you really just want the resistance value of the ceramic resistor you'll need to place across your taillight contacts? :stickpoke

Okay, apparently you cant delete your own posts.

Even if its during the 30 minute editng window.

How odd.

I started another post here accidentally and now cant delete this.

can SOMEONE DELETE THIS post?

:wtf:

Well said sniper x:bigthumb: :1party:

Justin

stupidity...

SniperX nailed it. Very well said.

Um, most people including myself harldy ever use their blinkers.
So who gives a crap how they work.

Re: Rice!
 

sorry but calling other ppl ricers isnt smart especially when you have a "slower traffic keep right" sticker on your windshield ...

Hey...

Akagi_Red_Sun

Did you know that your picture in your SIG places a cookie from pageproducer.com on everyones computer..

Just by looking at this thread?!
Bizzare!

I can't believe I wasted my time reading this stupid fuckin thread! We have people posting here with real problems and this dink comes up with crap like this.

This thread should go in the "how to make your car look broken" category along with sleepy eye headlights. Those of us with broken wiper switches can stop our wipers half way up the screen to really complete the picture!
Sarcastic? Me? :D

please calrify....
 

who is the "dink"...

The person who started this thread?

I had no idea my sig was putting a cookie on people's computers for page producer. I was basically just searching around for places that would host pictures, and found that page producer site...

If everyone has a problem with the cookie thing, I guess I could find a new place to host my pictures...

they look stupid.

just thought iw was interesting tha tthey were tracking us.

I can't believe that this post is still open...
