REREEREREREREEEEV gauge :D (and bodycoloured bumpers)

Post by 5lab »

been shopping :D

brought myself a revgauge (well a full dash) and some white bodycoloured bumpers from someone who is breaking a 360 glt. fitted the front bumper fine, but cant get the rear one off. any tips from anyone??

the revgauge.. how easy to fit? just whipped the dash apart, nicked the clock out, fitted the revgauge in its place, plugged the already-present leads in, and it works - just like that! no extra wiring at all! bonza :D

now i can tell that i cant get above 4k revs. damn :P time to tune i think :P

have fun with the rear bumber, have a look under the back of the car to see where the mounting plates are, the ones on mine were hiding under the carpet in the boot on either side of the spare wheel bay, i think there was a 3rd mount somewhere also that was a biatch to get at, cant remember where that was hidin though

i got a 340 so fortunatly the spare wheel isnt under there, otherwise it'd be a right pain (even more so than already) to get the bumper off :P

I won't tell them how hard I had to work to get you to believe it it plugged straight in :-P
