I've got one of those Autometer tachos with a shift light, the white faced one. Personally I wouldn't put it in my car, but it was given to me for free as it is faulty. I've tried to fix it but had no luck. Does it have a fuse or something I'm not aware of? Does it have a fuse to begin with? Someone told me they don't but I don't know what to believe.

Anyone had a similar problem?

yeah I got one of those Autometer air fuel ratio meters, when you hit the loud peddle the LED pulses up and down from red(lean) to orange(stoich) to green(rich). When I installed mine I was running 2-3 bars into the green and the red, after a tune-up it only went 1 bar into the red & green.

Its handy if your playing around with ignition timing too:)

I believe there is a demo of what it looks like in action on the US website

nah, i'll buy one down the track. i'm looking for the shift light atm. anything under $100 and i'm buying it. found one for $115 from rare spares. does rev racegear have an outlet in Sydney? or a web site i can buy from?

do you know if you can just hook them up to an aftermarket ECU? i'm getting mixed info on this one.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
