    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.

    That PLX R-500 sounds very cool. I want. Now, if it were only in my budget.

    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

    Thanks Delette :)

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

    Baller did. With Milo's I wanted to be able to see the knock level...

    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?

    You ever get this gem installed?
     
  24. miloman

    miloman Retired Admin

    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.
     
  25. Cool_____

    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.
     
  26. miloman

    miloman Retired Admin

    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.

    wow....cant wait to see how that turbo performs with the meth
     
  35. miloman

    miloman Retired Admin

    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:

    nice purchases...have fun! btw...is your clutch slipping already or just upgrading?
     
  37. miloman

    miloman Retired Admin

    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.

    Ya just couldn't stay off the meth eh? It's okay we will be addicts together...lol

    On a good note Milo, my pump is still holding up rock solid so far.....crap now that I said that it'll leak today....I hope not!
     
  45. miloman

    miloman Retired Admin

    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 :)
