Luis Ochoa's FFR Roadster Install...

We love it when our customers get creative... 

Luis Ochoa has been an ISIS Power customer since the summer of 2009.  He has been painstakingly building a Factory Five Racing Roadster.  As are most kit cars, Luis' roadster has some unique features that we have never seen before. 

The one that blew us away was his solution to the turn-signal stalk.  He wanted the quick-release steering wheel, which most guys do.  At the same time, he didn't want a toggle switch on the dash for his turn-signals, he wanted a stalk.  The column that Factory Five gives you with the roadster kit doesn't lend itself well for a stalk and you really can't get the quick-release steering wheel with any of the aftermarket column manufacturers. 

Luis came up with something really creative.  He mounted a simple momentary DPDT toggle switch behind the dash, and mounted a turn-signal stalk on it.  That way he has the stalk, where it needs to be, separate from the column.  Check this out...




He is using our Self-Canceling Turn-Signals and our alternating-headlight function on his stalk. 

The self-canceling turn-signals work this way.  You connect a momentary switch to inputs for the left and right turn signals.  When you close the momentary switch, the turn-signal blinks for 10 seconds then shuts off.  Let's say you're sitting at a stop light waiting to make a turn.  If you foot is on the brake, the turn-signal will continue to blink until you take your foot off of the pedal, then the timer will start to shut off the signal. 

Here's how the alternating headlight works.  The headlights turn on when you turn on the switch.  You connect a momentary switch to the alternating headlight input on the MASTERCELL.  If the headlights are on and you press the button, the headlights turn off and the high-beams turn on.  Pressing the button again, turns off the high-beams and turns on the low-beams.  If you press the button with the headlights off, the high-beams turn on so that you can flash to pass. 

Luis made this great video showing how both of these functions work. 




Thanks to Luis for letting us share this.
