Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 24d Posted 07/08/12 02:31 AM Share Posted 07/08/12 02:31 AM Sweet sounds like I might go the double sided tape too. The more I think about it the better this position is, above the ICC in the FG just crowds things too much (personal opinion)Yea the only difference is I think ill go with the white faced gauges not black - but I'll decide when I buy them.Will do mate, hopefully start this weekend, it might go over a fair while though cause Im starting to get pretty busy at uni so I'll use the build as a study break lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said nice job all the same.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 24d Posted 07/08/12 05:13 AM Share Posted 07/08/12 05:13 AM Yea I love hands on stuff, my degree doesn't allow me to get my hands dirty much so its a good break lol. Yea Impellor that's what I'm thinking with mine because I have silver spears and ICC so silver spray paint will look crap. either vinyl or some decent contact (I have a signwritter mate who should be able to match the silver up with the ICC). I still think you need to sand it back really smooth, Fletty just is pedantic and spent a lot of time redoing the paint lol.Going to the wrecker at 4 to try pick up a tissue box holder (not keen on cutting mine out lol) and then off to supercheap on the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 24d Posted 08/08/12 03:39 AM Share Posted 08/08/12 03:39 AM Where'd you get the electric boost gauge from Fletty? Because I bought everything today to get started but the Supercheap I went too didn't have the white boost gauge and so looking on the net to order them and from what I've found SAAS only make mechanical boost and the oil pressure, temp and volts are electric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
