Monthy Accessories Pimp Update!

Post by foggyjames »

Yo! I've noticed a few of you have been considering stepping up and challenging my role as gauge guru. Consider this the donkey punch of victory...sm56

1980-spec econ (or more accurately auto box vacuum!) and ambient temp gauges, to fit the centre console of a 'mk2' dash.

As if that wasn't enough, I made a little journey earlier today, and found one of these lying unloved at the side of the road (just kidding...ebay comes through again!)

So you gonna be buying a mk1/2 to actually use the gauges, or more for the "Damn I'm pimp, I have the mostest monitored shelf ever" shelf ;)

Good job on the steps though, should make cleaning the roof easy for the BKV next year :twisted:

It reads fully to the right at WOT, like the standard one.

I have (wideband) lambda pimpness too, albeit not installed yet :(

Ok, then vacuum meter is how I thought that it might be.

Nice a/f meter there, now when do we see action shoots from night/day from your cockpit ?

Is there any more room left for new toys? :P

I don't have even temp gauge, not even engine temp currently so my dashboard feels bit empty, of course that nice disco light show is there, that is about all :lol:
