I would not trust that thing anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentkilla Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just an update, car is still running like a dream. Had an issue with the battery overheating, i thought it was the alternator but come to find out it was the battery x2. I've since done the tru twin mod, bcc and boost controller. i'm running about 16 lbs. The car feels awesome, around 45-50mph when you stomp on it, it breaks the a** end loose. scared the s*** outta me the first time it happened but now it's common place. I know to be ready to counter steer lol. I also installed my pioneer avic900bt that i had sitting for 8 months and back up camera. Clutch has settled in fine, still chatters a little bit but i can live with it. Next big thing i'm working is the body but in the main time im gonna be replacing the gauges (speedo & tach). Having a hard time figuring out whether i was to go with cyberdyne digital gauges or with the autometer analogs.http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs138.snc3/18558_1247173105577_1416909227_30746894_3454384_n.jpghttp://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs158.snc3/18558_1247173265581_1416909227_30746898_3172661_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzStar Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Thanks for the update! I am not a fan of digital gauges but it is probably because I'm old. Digital gauges need to be "read" for me to interpret the information. That makes it difficult to do a gauge scan to see if things are as they should be. I don't need to "READ" an analog gauge I can just tell by the position of the needles if all is well or if I need to look more closely. Also, when using a TACH for shifting, I'm not reading numbers... I'm watching a needle that is sweeping towards a bar (the shift indicator) and timing my physical reactions based upon the rate of advance and the interpreted time when the needle will meet the shift indicator. Finally, I think digital gauges look like a**! But, as I said, I'm old, I like analog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasteboyii Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 LOL Keep em coming, your not that old are u? as we talked the other dayanalog is the way to go, u dont want to have to think about the digital even though they may be PRETTY, function is the main priority to the gauges and i really like hte radio/heater control setup u did, i think im giong to copy It , just kidding, i dont have any plan s of a big screen/monitor/radio in the car talk to ya dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... that is why I need my creature comforts... besides it is too damn hot here in AZ not to have A/C. The StarQuests don't "breathe" that well with the windows down either.

Convette Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 nice man, nice. What brand are the other gauges(3 in the center)? I've been looking at prosports lately cause they're kinda cheap and still what I want.. Its those or autometers for me... Defi's would be the first option if I was loaded...
