Gauge a reaction *boom boom*

Matt you can\'t be trusted anymore!

Gary, no mate was still up in the air about it... I think i\'m gonna replace the HKS with the PM racing air induction kit this month, gonna try get my uncle to bring it back with him when he returns...

To be honest, I still havn\'t decided whether to odd the EL and get some defi\'s (bit of rewiring) or borrow a dremel

In any case yer only looking around around £65 inc shipping i\'d guess

hmmmmmmmmm

[GaryS]

Well I now know what the tabs bit is about.

I emailed RXstrore and here was the reply :-

Hi,
You need to use a silicon to attach that pod. It wont work with the stock tabs.
We can ship via fedex or US postal.

Thanks
Jason

Not sure I fancy a stuck on steering column cover.

I was speaking to some guys on the US forums about this and they say it\'s fine to do it that way...

to be honest I think i\'m gonna go for the RHD centre console pod and do some dremel action on it. Henning from FDUK sells them so maybe easy that way

For the time being i\'m gonna change the induction kit, the gauges can go on next year

Andy i\'ll post you a picture of the EL guages in action soon, just waiting for my Dad to bring the camera back:)

There in the centre pod aswell so you\'ll be able to see if you like \'em

It had got me wondering about a second gauge too, except I\'m not sure what that one should be.

I want a mechanical boost gauge so I can see if I get a problem, and can\'t understand how a FI car can come without one (yeah I know they fixed this in \'99).

What other gauges can be put in that do  not require electrical connections (aside from illumination).  My oil pressure gauge works fine so it\'s not worth looking to duplicate that and I most certainly do not want a fuel pressure gauge inside.

[ScuttleRX]

How bout an oil temp so you know when shes properly warmed up

[GaryS]

How easy are those to fit ?
(hmm a smiths dual oil pressure/temp gauge)

I should point out I\'m mechanically/electrically inept.

[ScuttleRX]

rather than put a sensor in the sump through drilling and tapping, or welding etc, i bought a greddy adapter plate that fits under oil filter (just screws on then you put oil filter back on as normal) and has a place where you can screw sensor into, then just a case of running cable through to the gauge.

sounds easy enough, i\'ll let you know how it goes when adapter plate arrives, i am also inept

[Andyp]

cheers dude, would love to see them esp in the dark! *I take it they glow*

I\'m only going for EL coz I got the EL meter in my car all installed and as I\'m lazy I just wanna pop the new ens in there

I\'ll show ya the unit if ya pop down to this hatfield meet

[ScuttleRX]

i\'ve got the control unit too bud, the one with 4 buttons on, up, warn, peak and select? is that what u\'ve got

[Andyp]

yep though I was just using that as excuse for you to come along
