I've been toying around with getting into a new modification scene, this is my first real attempt. Like all these habits it starts with buying uprated parts off the internet.
Flipped her over, crumb tray out and a few screws later I was ready to get to work.
Disconnected the old timer and fitted the new uprated one.
As you can see the OEM knob only timed up to 4 minutes, but the new goes up to 6 minutes.
As with most mods, there's always something you need to fettle. In this case the new knob wasn't quite tight enough for my liking, so I popped a few dabs of serious glue on there.
Naturally, the next step was to test it out.
I've found that not only does it allow for 2 minutes longer toasting times, the new timer has a deeper, bassier tone to it, a sort of low down rumble. The new alert bell has a sort of JDM vibe too. Last but not least, I only have to turn it 120 degrees now for 2 minutes, where as before it was 180 degrees, so I'm winning there too.
