[Guest keltik]

Thrashed the pants off it over Saddle road

BIG backfires which lit up the night and on the way back down my catylytic converter or muffler or something broke into pieces. Now every time i get her above 4,500rpm at full throttle i get a massive spray of embers/sparks out the exhaust - it looks like a roman candle shoved up the tail pipe.

Also discovered how to make the rear windscreen wiper work and fecked with the timing a bit more. Cant wait till I can shoe-horn the EJ22 in there

[black_wag]

[LAZLO]

from the look of them, theyre aftermarket, as the speedo font is totally different then the other dials.

Looks good though, should mean that you can actually SEE the dials at night!! Only thing ive noticed though, I think you temp gauge is a bit broken, its a bit droopy!

[black_wag]

yeah duno why its sitting like that. wired it up and none of the dials are reading anything so better make sure its hooked up right. shouldnt matter if mine doesnt have the dccd should it?

[Guest]

That's a V3 STi RA gauge cluster, with some s***ty white plastic faces replacing the stock ones. Not genuine STi.

I assume you've installed it on a V2 RA (looking at the IC sprayer button)? The wiring may be different, can't say for sure.

[DRFVDR]

everythin on the back of it is exactly the same as my original cluster that came out of it but the temp gauge was f****d and nothing seems to want to work on it. put the priginal 1 back in and it goes straight away

[ReubenH]

Hrmmm. Maybe swap the temp gauge over to the new one? But a word of warning, if you pull the needles off, apparently it's bloody impossible to put them back on correctly. I've never tried myself though.

Drove into town to drop woman at work, Astoria for Breakfast

Drove home

Drove to burger fuel for lunch.

Might take it through car wash this afternoon, might not.

[Jammasta]

I'm Bulking up.

I wouldn't consider either of those take out (quite) though. Especially as i Dined in both times.

[kingersman]

Nope. it just sits around now that its winter. Comes out in summer to tow the jetski and thats only because it has the towbar.

yeah just put the original fuel and temp gauges in for the time being but still got white speedo and rev counters. yeah i sort of attempted to get the needles off but they dont wana move and id agree they would be a bloody mission to get off let alone get them back on

[Guest lan_killa]

Fixed the suspension in the Mini and its drivable again... So out and about in it today while its not raining

[Divine]

Put the front grill back in, front left wheel brake is having issues as its gripping with no brake pressure on it.

Now having it sitting in the sun with all the windows open to get the speights smell out of it.
