nurrish Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 hmm taking off the wheel, must be a better option then going through the engine bay like I did to get those babes out! They all look in pretty darn good condition though & the Y pipe!. Whats your project time like? (that might give some hint to what you want to do) Im hoping to be finished with the main bits before Christmas but i wont be driving anywhere until February at the earliest.....mainly due to not having any wheels/exhaust system I am hoping to collect these bits the early part of next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurrish Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 If its FI, why the sudden about turn? Why do all you've done and then decide to undo it all so suddenly? I've kept the aesthetics of my car intact....just sold wheels and seats. Thats to Gordon (greido) he has borrowed me a set of 17's to get by with But after seeing alex's place yesterday this is childs play Seriously though i dont think i have met a nicer person than alex. So welcoming and very friendly Absolute top man and plus he owns such an immense beast Plus amended title in reflection to the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Whats the top gauge? When your wiring them in, disconnect the battery. I blew my ignition fuse because I didn't bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Whats the top gauge? When your wiring them in, disconnect the battery. I blew my ignition fuse because I didn't bother this is from the seller Boost gauge comes with its own map sensor that just needs power and ground, you then T into one of the vacuum hoses and run it to the sensor. very simple. The Shift light comes with a tach adapter that taps into the coil wires for your RPM reference. Again, gauge just needs power and ground. Air/Fuel comes with it's own oxygen sensor you can install or tap into your existing oxygen sensor wires. Power and ground for the gauge again.

Ian Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Top one will be the shift light then, TBH I'd ditch that & get either Oil Temp or EGT I still think you should have got Defi/AEM ^^ My Defi oil temp/AEM Wideband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
