What do you use the scangauge for ??What pads are you using with the new rotors? Let us know how the rotor upgrade goes once you fix the wheel bearing.

Not all the functions work on it like l/100 but shows water temp, ignition timing, boost, and other various things that are sometimes useful.Using bendex ultimate pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing difference, feels so much nicer than the stock setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to ask, the computer setup in the car, do you have any install pictures for it ? Was it a pain in the ass to do ? I've seen others do something similar and wasn't sure if it was worth trying as a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it literally just plugged in. Ran the wires and gave it a go. I haven't used it much because I've been busy doing various other things, but I should have it working properly soon - ill get a video of it when done.Im just using a raspberry PI computer, so doesn't need much to run, just powered via a usb cable@Panda Eyes, I like the fg rims too but still thinking they need to be changed, although I can't seem to find any nice aftermarket ones I like, the ba ones became track rims On a side note, anyone know the thread of the falcon studs? is it M12 x 1.5 or M12 x 1.25? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about the touch screen connection to the icc. I remember now seeing them sold on ebay and thought that would be the hardest part. Yeah chuck a vid or some pictures up of the system when you have time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also two ball bearings not pictured here.Ignition barrel, hard to see but theres a screw in there that replaced the tab for the spring back, had to drill a hole for it and taper off the head of the screw also.Final result is, I have an ignition barrel that feels better than ever Edited 07/08/14 12:58 PM by Serangan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
