Cheers!....although neat and unintrusive, it's not ideal in terms of monitoring whilst on the move, too far out of the line of sight; I bought the additional screeching alarm to go with it. Via the laptop you set the max parameters for whatever you want to monitor, but not got it quite fine-tuned well enough yet (and now in the middle of my engine teardown/upgrade, so that won't get done for a good 3-4 months)

Thanks

I have one of those built into my tach. I have sensors for AFR, boost, and oil temp. If you crack the round gauge apart you can separate the screen for more mounting options. They look cool built into the rear view mirror.

One thing I love about my ScanGauge is having access to almost all my engine parameters via the ECU's ODBII port. Programmable gauges sure to have a lot of advantages when you want to measure a few different things and mix it up a bit.

Thanks for all the imput! I've decided to go with the DTAFast X-Dash so I can see everything all the time...

I finally got some time to make some aluminum saw dust

Cool...looks like quite a large unit, where are you going to mount it?

Have to say, I do like the rear view mirror offering, looks very trick!

Yep, it's too big to hide so it's going up front and center

[CaptainCalf]

I've decided to replace my idiot light sender in the back of the motor at the turbo oil stream with a new VDO sender to feed the new ECU and new x-dash.

I still have the oem sender in place up front too, so I should be able to see both for comparison.

Can anybody guess what I'm up to with these?

Thanks Tweaks, I think they're cool what do you think?

I've got the GT3 muffler and the colors are red & black

[911 tweaks]

You sure are finishing this car off top notch wise...keep it up...almost there...!!

Yep, it's a long and slippery slope

Coasters?

I like the 17" fuchs - and that car above is one of my favorites...

[CaptainCalf]

Jeremy, I forgot you had the RSRs on that race car of yours...they look sweet!

I haven't decided yet if I'll go fully polished or black background, but they will be 9x11x17s and should look pretty good with all that rubber either way...

[CaptainCalf]

This is one of my favorites:

Ahh Jack's car is awesome.

Here are my track wheels - 17" weld ups made by True Design.




(spaced out cause I had smaller rubber on there) (235/275 in this picture)

[CaptainCalf]

Jeremy, they looks so good I'd run those all the time...just watch out for puddles
