Got the brakes machined today.......... feels so much better!!!

also its first oil and filter change and done the sparkies just for good measure.

only thing im waiting for now is my new rocker cover gasket cos its leaking like a sieve,

otherwise its all good :D

came across this and was wondering if anyone knew any more info on finding a guage holder that mounts in that exact possition where the TV unit goes...........

was hoping to hold 3X 2" 1/16 guages............

That's got to be custom.

I reckon you could roll a piece of sheet metal to fit there and mould some gauge cups in fairly easily.

ok im going to build myself a custom guage holder to fit 3 guages, ive already got boost and am wondering what the other 2 should be......

im thinking oil pressure and .................???..................... (water temp is already on the standard cluster so not sure if i really need that one)

other choices are oil temp, trans temp and air/fuel ratio..................... (have i missed any?)

or if the others arent to important i'll just make a 2 guage holder instead!!!

EGT and Trans temp would be my choices along with Boost.

yeah oil temp and trans would be alright.

EGT is very useful for a number of reasons.

1) In general driving you start to see how the ECU manages fuel and helps understand the whole car. ie, on the open road car leans right out and EGT is up around 600-700 degrees.

2) If you start (I think you already have) moding the car and the various components you can see the direct change you have made and in particular the change it makes to fueling which is very important to avoid leaning the motor.

I am sure there is more than this ... :)

How does EGT compare to AFR? reading wise...is one more accurate than the other?

I would think the AFR is a lot more accurate and if the device measuring is accurate enough will give you a much better result but I would imagine a very different cost.

Probably better than the EGT is the Wide band O2 sensor. Fester and more accurate and able to use for on road tuning.

yep make me one.

my TV is out of order as my emanage took over the dvd players spot.

pending price obviously

Myself and a panel beater mate are gonna try and put these into production, i'll make both dual and tripple guage holders............. fingers crossed!!!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
