popped to the garage this afternoon to put the new carb there and thought i would have a look at the layout for some gauges i brought and ended up fitting them! i had already fitted the sensor when i did the oil/water change so it didnt take to long, going to hide the fittings for the cups with another pillor post i have but nice job for now
water and oil gauges with a peak and warning system white for day amber for night

Luuurve the big fat tastey carb dude!
Bet that will be something to hear!

[mpk490p]

carn\'t wait to get it hooked up, i already have a turbo hat to suit but one step at a time!:driving
how yours going with the new steering?

[Don Pamponi]

Yeah, really well.  Got a bit dirty & rusty over the winter at the RX scrapyard, but the steering is GREAT!  Well worth all the bother - puts a big grin on my face now (specially with the dodgy old tyres its got at the mo - sideways a lot!)

[Don Pamponi]

Mind you it did take them a year!

[mpk490p]

Crikey! You are spendin some cash!

The bonnet vent is a very subtle flush typey thing right above the hks filter.  Struggling with turbo blanket & exhaust wrap at the mo.

Wondering about a respray in that new mazda light metalic blue you see mx5s in.....

[mpk490p]
