lol, yeah, its reasonably obvious. im probably going to move it to the side of the steering column.

also, im fairly sure the wheels poking out the guards, the lack of ground clearance, large (for oem) rear spoiler, velo fixed back and mad fluttaz will be more a reason to defect me...

Dave just do what i have done set up two micro switches, one for the back lighting (so you can turn it off on long night drives as they are pretty bright) and the other is a cop switch that turns off my boost controller and all my gauges. i put the switches under the dash with the remote peak recall switches that come with the STRI gauges.

are you allowed to mount gauges there ?

probably not.

nope it is in the "break away zone" Anything that is not a standard part of the dash is an instant defect.. sadly enough I was questioned about it in 2 cars I have owned but both were let go because of being in small car sunday.

Best to mount them looking as standard as possible to the dash.. im designing up something for a 33/32 dash at the moment for 3 gauges will keep you up to date with it.

....an Evo 8 hehe.

Nice 1. My mrs business partner had an EVO 9 and now has an EVO 10 (blue with EVO O10 plate) and they're great cars. :P

Just realised it was my 1272th post.... so here's another pic of my hand built Neve 1272 clone:

stop encouraging the man to buy sensible cars.

i rely on chef to show me wierd n wonderful cars that we dont normally see in the land of oz like that new school cedric, not these aus delivered automobiles. you've changed man, it used to be about the cars. now its just about making money it seems :P

i cant see someone in their right mind buying the cube but wouldnt mind taking a look at 1 :down:

Hehehe don't worry Dan, plenty more potential for weird and wonderful cars. I just got the Vauxhall Insignia on the SEVS list last week - Google the VX-R model and see why :happy:

The goal with the Evo 8 is to give it a jolly good thrashing - I'd originally planned to do that with the N1, but it's a bit too special for that kind of thing. It is a JDM one by the way. I've already been shopping for new rims for it lol.

AWD, V6 Turbo. win! Doesn't look too bad, bit of a lower and maybe new rims and it will be much much better.

id drive that as is looks pretty sweet, would be scared of something breaking and needing to do some crazy hunting for parts though.

but very nice how much

curious every time you bring 1 of these cars in, does it trigger in your head like you've just unlocked a new car in Forza :happy:

congratulations! you have unlocked Cedric Y34

For those interested, having considered a Nissan Cube, another Y34 Cedric/Gloria, an M35 Stagea and a F50 Cima, and having nearly bought a Honda NS-X, I ended up buying....

....an Evo 8 hehe.

Bah, should've got the Cima (or better yet a 171Majesta :ninja:)

Wouldn't be quite as fun as an E8 though :happy:

Anyone else have a sensational weekend? :):D :D :D

Best weekend ever.

Friday night, drunk at the Wakefield.

Saturday night, drunk at L!ve.

Sunday, drunk at Sea and Vines festival.

Monday, drunk at We Love Sounds.

I woke up this morning with a ripped shirt and scratch marks all down my stomach. And I cannot remember how that happened.

I'll worry about my liver when I'm 45.

Friday night, drunk at the Wakefield.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
