Just a gimmick to me

Why not also have a ignition advance gauge, a fuel flow gauge, a knock count readout, a constant readout of maf g/sec

If its working let it work, if its wrong thats what the CEL and a million fault pxxxx codes to tell you all about it

Too much information without a proper understanding just makes for more issues.

Late model beemers have the redline which starts off at 4k and rises till up to temp, that makes sense. My work mazda doesnt even have a water temp gauge, either says cold, hot, or good. Considering most water temp gauges just dont move unless theres a problem it may as well be that simple anyway I guess

Now I want an ignition advance gauge. Why? Because It\'s still more tactful than a monster tacho.

get a tunable ecu or stock and plug in into laptop and make a sweet interface

[Kiwi_Fozze]

there\'s a legend around here setting up a raspberry pi into his legacy capable of doing this...

and i\'m looking to do it in mine

[lachlan]

could just get a smart phone and one of those bluetooth obd readers . they do gauges etc

[94 Leone]

I have a bluetooth dongle, and torque: but my legacy is subaru select management it reads from relinquo\'s Blitzen 6 well enough though

Totally off-topic, but if I have a parallel imported phone, is it a given that it\'s unlocked and I shouldn\'t have issues using it overseas with an overseas SIM card?

Often specifies it is unlocked otherwise assume it\'s not

If you\'re currently using it here then effectively you\'re using it overseas with a foreign SIM card already?

[Roo]

Are you looking at buying one or do you own and use one already?

Can springs get tired with age? Got some s13 springs here and they can\'t support an s13 engine lol

Is that coz its sitting in a big sack of shit rather than the more spritely s13? Kings are warrantied to not sag more than 10mm iirc.

Lol i doubt there\'s as much weight difference as you make out.

Laurel is basically a 4 door s13, weighed down by the big shitty rb they come cursed with

Was just having a look through the engine bay out of curiousity after work

Is the black sooty stuff anything to be worried about? Just overspray of wd 40 or something when the exhaust got changed???

[lachlan]

if u find things like that you are looking too close .

its a subaru they do these things .

most likely oil on something from breather system . with some dust on it

[BUGEYESTI]

Lol I never look apart from refilling the intercooler spray and checking the oil etc... was bored thought I\'d have a look and thought theres no harm in asking! And thanks

[lachlan]

turbo drains usually weep oil to that extent aswell . and its in that locale . could clean it off with some degreaser etc

I would say 98% of that is from your AVCS advance sensors leaking oil. Not a major and can be fixed if you feel like being nice and spending a few $..

Roughly about 180-200 for moded sensors + swaping labour.

Looks like I\'m getting 2-pots + S401 backing pates (i.e no adapters will be needed to fit the 2-pots on my BH5 ). Has anyone got a tool to press the hub out?
