Weird gauge

It is located at left of the cluster, where the economy gauge usually is. It has never worked though so I suppose that previous owner has disconne...

LOL, really? I thought colour-codeds were only available on Redlines or something. Meh.
All GLT's here have color-coded bumpers.

Here cops drive dull Mondeos... Some nice undercover cars though, Volvo S40 T4, Skoda Octavia RS Turbo etc... There are also couple Volvo 240's still in use. :D Oh I almost forgot, they have one Jaguar too, not undercover though. Jaguar S-Type-R, supercharged 4.2 V8 395hp. :P Better not to try and g...

Yeah, they don't dyno your car here neither at MOT but you need to dyno it for turbo-installations and such. Same here, if they find illegal stuff at crash your insurance is worthelss. :P

Weird.. :P I think here only thing which can raise your insurance is the engine size but then again why to tell insurance company that you have modded your engine. ;) People at the vehicle inspection and police are only ones here who are interested wh...

Yeah. It pre-warms the engine when it is freezing. :P It is a must have here in Finland at winter time. No need for it now though... 27 Celsius degrees (80.6 in Fahrenheit) at the shadow outside. :P

Because I wan't to build one. :D That thing on the bumper is socket for engine-block heater. I think i'll put it somewhere else because it sticks out too much where it is now. :P

Yeah I was thinking that too, Im not gonna make it exaxtly same looking, but quite. At least I'll try. ;) Not sure yet how many gauges I'll fit in. Oil pressure and air/fuel ratio meters would be nice but we'll see.

GL about 10-12l / 100km. Could be less if you had lighter pedal foot.. :D About GLT I'm not aware yet how much it consumes fuel... 98 octane costs something like 1.1 to 1.2 euros per litre so it's expensive.. 95 is a little cheaper but turbos like real fuel. :D And over 75% of that price are taxes.....

Speedo is not so accurate at high speeds. With GPS you can get accurate results. ;)
