Clean, elegant but the rims look small, you did an excellent job keeping it sleeperish for sure.

You have a lot of Autometer on your wishlist, are you going with those because of cost or what?

Well at $150-250 a pop for electrical guages I dont think it will be too cheap, also I like it in regular and not metric. Any suggestion for any other company that makes guages....?

Yeah the wheels are only 17x7... but I don't want too much rotational mass, also rather have more sidewall on the tire to reduce wheel hop. Maybe get some 18x7's in the future. :yesway:

If your getting charged $150-250 a pop for electrical Autometers your getting f*d in the "A". The reason vendors push Autometer so hard is because there is more money to be made off of them, not because they are better. The gauges that we all run here are Greddy. While yes, they are metric but they are reliable, accurate, cost effective, lots of variety and we have never had a problem with them. Just run some searches.

Seeing as how you have a lot of money invested into your car, you should look into getting some decent racing rims to go along with it. My favorite are Volks. RRE recommends using 17x7 for handling and sidewall purposes of course, which is fine. But you could always save your 17x7 for the track and 18x7.5 for the street.

New wheels are going to be really my last priority now, need to get the car a bit more performance.

As for guages Greddy Guages cost the same as Autometers... in reality almost all Guage vendors have nearly the same prices for them.

I feel you on that, I'm only concentrating on my engine bay right now :lol:

With that list of Autometer gauges, are all of them electrical? Mechanical gauges are like $50~$60 http://www.titanmotorsports.com/ulser.html

I gotta tell ya - I've run a lot of gauges over the years, and I've never had a problem with AutoMeters. Why pay more?

You pay more for the appreciation of quality that went into the product. Whatever works best for you, but there are better alternatives and converting over a car that was not meant to have forced induction, quality of the gauges you use surely should not be sacrificed.

Sorry for the thread jack. We can pick this autometer conversation up on one of the threads I just posted above.

I remember that night, nothing is good as 3rd gear burnout. You probably know my opinion on the car since we talk about it almost everyday..LOL
Can't wait till I drive it again in Spring of 2006.

very clean beautiful car

 

nice ride. sucks you gotta storage it

as per the guages, I never had issues with Autometer. I never believed the "hype" that you had to pay $300 for a guage that does the same thing a $70 one does. I even tested my guages (boost, fuel & oil) with shop tools the electric senders for autometer fuel and oil, and both were in check. The only shops I ever heard that trash autometer are ones that want you to give them more money for Apexi or Greddy. Dont waste money unless you are one of those guys that have to put funky expesive stuff in a car to sound cool. my opinion and experiences.

Yeah... I miss driving it.

I see your point Shane, after searching around and looking around for a while, mechanical guages will be a lot cheaper and show the same #'s with the same accuracy. For 200 bucks I can 3 guages instead of one, I will just go that route.

 

Very clean car man, although you kinda give up the sleeper look with that big ass cowl on the hood,....don't ya think? I dig it though. You got any numbers on that little beauty?

Stage 2 it was at 306whp
Now @ Stage 2.5 its roughly at 326whp
Stage 3 it was @ 387whp, but was breaking axles.

 

Breaking axles???? The axles shouldn't be breaking. Its one of the things on this car that is fairly strong. My friend Matt at 3SX performance has a FWD 3000GT which has the same axles as we have and has his car putting down 900hp, not a misprint either and hasn't snapped the stock ones yet.

 

I hope you did not sell these based on my posts today

No not really, I was gonna sell them anyways, I just wanted the clock pod guage holder, but the guages came with it, I just don't need these guages. I will go with Autometer Phantom seris mechanical ones, it just cheaper and they do the same fuckin thing. So it dosent matter I rather spend 300 for all guages than for 1. Save it for other mods, like some high strengh axles.

This'll probably never happen again, but I completely agree on all points.
