    The car is lookin' hot... but not as hot as the UPS girl (I've got a package for her, lol)

    Of course I'm kind of partial since mine is blacked out too.

    baller, you should've have went and purchase the Innovate LC-1 with XD-16 display gauge and achieve the true JDM baller status ;)

    actually I would think XD-16 being 1/4 thick and 52mm diameter should be easier to mount and read

    Dash. Probably between the gauge cluster and the data monitor.

    Hmmmm I wonder how well that knock display will work? Is it direct knock count that it will monitor off the sensor or is it the KC value that we can see in deltadash?

    Not yet dude. I'm in Dallas now and have been too busy. I'm wondering if I should get it done here or wait till I return to Atlanta.

    Does it require any drilling or tapping? Or is the bungs needed already there? If they are already there then I'd see no problem installing. If any drilling or tapping is needed, I'd wait in case you get put in a pinch.

    Need to tap the exhaust manifold for the EGT probe. The wideband will be easy to do since my DP has a bung. But I doubt my abilities on making a clean install so I'd rather pay someone to make it look professional.

    Didn't you do the Meth install location on your bugeye? That looked sweet and I wish I didn't have my turbo timer so I could put the meth kit there.

    Figured after what I have spent on the car, meth would be a small incremental expense for a lot more power. Also with AP, I can run meth occasionally ;)

    Yes, I post almost 100 times as much as you :naughty:

    Not yet slipping but it seems to engage pretty high. Regardless, I'm sure it's nearing its last days. I figured I might as well go ahead and replace it before the meth goes on.

    That's good to hear. I don't intend to run meth all the time so hopefully the pump will last.

    Thanks to JL889, I got some sweet exterior parts, namely the Syms replica wing and rear spats. Didn't take any pictures yet because (1) the car is filthy and (2) it is still sitting on the dinky spare. After I get the new tire, I'll wash the car and post some pics :)
