BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 6m 29d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 01/07/14 07:04 AM Author Share Posted 01/07/14 07:04 AM Before Pit Lane installed the Nizpro exhaust, I asked them to weld in a bung that would get used for an EGT gauge. Thought it made sense to do it while the zorst was on the ground and then decided that I would take the gauges down to Melbourne so they could fit them when I went back to pick the car up but the box didn't fit in my back-pack and Virgin were gunna charge me heaps to take them on the plane so they stayed home and I finally got them fitted today.I bought a Speedhut set of gauges and a triple pod from Wal at Top End Audio in Perth and had absolutely no idea where to start when it came to fitting them so I asked Willo if there is anything to look out for as he has the same set of gauges - seeing them in a pic of his car is why I decided on this set.I ended up being a big chicken and giving the car to my local auto sparky mate today to fit them but now they are installed, I'm not sold on the silver bezel.......may change my mind at night time when I see the glow of the pointer (red) reflecting off it.When I picked the car up this arvo, Craig (auto sparky) said Don,we wired it in hereconnected Boost hereT-pieced in here for the Oil Preasureand coz no clutch, had plenty of room to run everything through the grometI said "do they all work" to which he answered "yep".Job done.I'll take a cupla pics tonight and upload them to see what you all think about the silver bezel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to hit up the speedhut website and weeeetube to see if that can be adjusted.Whatchya fink? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the pic they seem 100% matching to those 2 gauges.Just look a bit dull because of the screen under them?Turn the screen down a notch and see what you think.Aidan want's his CD back too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
