Thats just so good it hurts mate.

I bet you're dead proud of your work there :thumbs:

Thanks H :) I'm propa chuffed with it mate. Can't wait till my warning lights and fuel gauge arrives so I can finish it off.

Is it all wired in?

Are you getting the speed signal from the ECU or the gearbox etc?

I really like that, that looks well tidy :thumbs:

pulsar_stu - August 5, 2009 11:24 PM (GMT)
Nah it's a not wired in yet H. I will be using the wire from trhe ecu tho. But idf that dosnt work I will plumb it direct from the speed sensor from the transferbox.

Hardwiring into the ECU speed signal wire would be the easier option :)

Thats what im going to do H. Im going to use the existing wires and solder the wires off the gauge onto them :D

I fit a 2bar hks boost gauge into the dash today and i have fit 4 coloured lights for the instruments B)

I just need to get a fuel gauge and then fit that and the dash is almost complete lol
My Rev counter, oil temp and presure and water temp gauge should be here hopefully tomorrow. :P
