My custom trailer is being delivered next week

The steering column's on my list too, but my fabrication skills probably aren't up to task for it, I may have to farm it out to Lucas here in town or something

God loves you..what an amazing adventure.

Ordered Spek Tachnometer. 5". Deleting OEM gauge display. It's big bulky and will definitely been in the way of my vision due to mounting seat to the floor. Fastest drivers are the most comfortable ones. Will not be running speedometer or gas gauge. Because?

Have you considered running an mxl, motec, or something similar? I've been kicking around the idea of replacing the gauge cluster with that. Saw it in Kevin Parlett's G and it fit really well.

SPOHN · 12-30-2013, 09:23 AM

It's just so expensive when adding all the sensors. I do like Kevin car. It is sweet. Course when I add up what I have in gauges it's about half way. Plus it has more functions.

wstar · 12-30-2013, 10:48 AM

I don't think you can run e.g. Motec with VHR heads either, at least not easily for controlling VVEL and all that, right?

djtodd · 12-30-2013, 11:17 AM

Good question. I was mainly thinking for datalogging with aim, but isn't Vvel controlled by a piggyback unit?

SPOHN · 12-30-2013, 11:41 AM

I believe there is little adjustment threw Uprev but some are scared of it. Z1 plays with a little. But for data logging would be nice. Not sure all about the options are offered with that system. Or if it even plays a role in tuning.

wstar · 12-30-2013, 12:29 PM

Oh I was referring to Motec as a full replacement ECU hooked up to the stock sensors/controls, I thought that's what you two were talking about.

SPOHN · 12-30-2013, 02:16 PM

I believe it's more of a all in one data box for all your heads up display. Plus some.

Sh0velMan · 12-30-2013, 02:24 PM

They make both.

wstar · 12-30-2013, 02:36 PM

Yeah I was talking about something like this: MoTeC > M800 > Overview

SPOHN · 12-30-2013, 08:41 PM

Rear quarter panel windows removed. Will be replacing with lexan also. Doors fully gutted to the max.
