Woohoo I found the R-Sport steering wheel which was for sale and I bought it.

I have been looking one for a year now.

Also ordered a new silicone-dampered boost gauge with steel frame. Can't wait.

Gotta take some pics when those are delivered.

Haha. ;D No my bed is right next to the computer so it was the best place to take a pic with a webcam.

Now I just have to buy some leather polishing stuff or something like that.

Boost gauge arrived today.

It wasn't too expensive because that is an industrial gauge. 30 euros and that is as precise as analog meter can be and there is a calibration valve too so it can be adjusted. Freeze resistant, silicone dampered display with a steel frame. Very robust design. Same size Autometer gauge would have cost 100 euros.. I ain't paying 70 euros more for a brand name and backlight. Led isn't too hard to install.

Btw. Is the forum kinda slow today or is it just my connection.

I made an aluminum panel and putted it in the place of ashtray as I don't smoke so no need for one for me.

Of course it would be best if it would be in sight all the time but I'm not a big friend of gauge pods sticking out of dashboard.
