Finally finished the project.

The car is the red one - not the green one

Close up from extra gauge panel with level control kits manometer and adjustments in place. The other thermometer is for air duct flow temperature...(of course it is)

I'm quite pleased with the results. The 480 turbo extra gauge panel was a bit tricky to get nicely in place.

Nice job

Looking really nice, so you did find room to Ardic thing?

Post by **Tero Huikko** » 28 Jul 2006 09:26 am

Short answer 'yes' with an if...long answer 'no' with a but...

I really have to move the battery into trunk, the the ardic unit will fit.

Mac.

Good question, I could understand if we were talking about the Netherlands

I see you have a turbo boost gauge.... Is there also a turbo in that packed engine bay of yours? About the to spliff lighters... What do you do with those if you don't have an ashtray? O, and not everyone from holland smokes dope. I for instance haven't smoked dope for the past 5 years. It just a fase you have to go through when you're 16-17 years old.

Post by **Tero Huikko** » 28 Jul 2006 01:04 pm

No turbo yet, but soon B230FK

Two ciggylighters are mainly for charging phone and other leccy stuff.
I smoke and I never use the ashtray - I have a window

Just found out today that reverse light doesn't work if engine is running. I made the adjustment without engine running...

No I can dismantle everything to adjust the switch properly.

Saw a set of 400 extra gauges yesterday in the scrappy, the 2 gauge panel, voltmeter and oil pressure... so I thought I'd have them.

1.7's make life soooo much easier fitting senders than the 1.4, half hour and job done! I havn't sussed out how to mount the panel yet, but piccies soon!
