Well a bit of an update.......had her dyno'd on Saturday morning, and pulled a very respectable 186.2 Kws and 249.9 HP, which considering the only modification so far is a 2.5" Catback twin Exhaust, is a very good starting point I Think...

This afternoon I decided to add another unique touch, by retrofitting a VZ Sunglasses holder into the rooflining......Came up pretty damn good if I do say so myself !!!!!!

well had a bit of spare time yesterday so started paintin some bit uner the bonnet, did the fuse cover and the brake fluid reservoir, and aslo started on the blue led dash conversion...am happy with the climate control, clock,gear selector etc but not with the instrument cluster,the light spread on the cluster shows too many hot spots so am waiting on some different leds to arrive which give a better light spread, hopefully this will eliminate the hot spots.....

Well not all of us can afford HSV upgrade packages , so I went the next best thing and brought some caliper covers......these things come with Brembo hi=temp stickers on them , and the ABS moulded plastic can with stand temp up to 670 degrees C......so out with a blade and removed the brembo stickers, and with some of my hi-temp vinyl, I cut some different stickers and whacked them on......I'll be putting them on sometime this week hopefully weather permitting, but you get the idea !!!!!

Well I had a half hour break in the weather, so got outside and fitted the calliper covers.....For $20 a set and 1/2 an hours labour, I don't think they came out too bad....sure beats the dull grey calliper......from this....

Well had a bit of spare time today so did some more stuff.....changed the gear selector LED, and then had a brainwave.....I was going thru some of my computer gear yesterday and I found a brand new 5 1/4 inch temperature sensor unit......had a bit of a think and worked out if I soldered a resistor on I could allow 12 volt instead of 5 volt, so hooked it up into the pocket under the stereo.....has 2 temp sensors on it so hooked one up to the AMP and the other to the Stereo itself, so it now monitors the Temps of both units......unfortunately the readout display is green so am off tomorrow to try and find the readouts in blue and will desolder the greens off and put the blues in instead....
yeah I know it's a bit out there, but I'm always doing things differently and like to do things to make my car unique.....Andy

Well wasnt happy with the green display with everything else being blue, and unfortunately I could not change the colour of it.....so decided to change it....cut some black acrylic to size to cover over the pocket face, then installed a volt meter plus 2 switches to operate lights in my boot , for my planned boot install......much better me thinks.....

Well a bit of an update.....Finally got around to wiring up the VZ Sunglasses holder today, was a simple 2 wire and 1 x Earth connection....looks good too...
Andy & Trudy's new baby. - Page 2 Image008Small-3

Also working on the boot setup at the moment, have Removed the Factory CD Stacker, and Filled the hole with some clear perspex....I will be making a Border sticker to hide the Brackets you see in the photo, and accross the face of it will be a sticker of my Number plate, which will be backlit from underneath, the lighting for the boot being controlled via a switch which I have just connected next to the voltage meter in the dash...

thanks heaps steve...means a lot buddy

Well my SMD Blue LEDS arrived so ripped the dash out again and replaced all the standard blue LEDS, these SMD's have a lot better spread of light so eliminate much of the hotspots, also gave it another polish, and the Sunglasses holder is now wired so the main interior dome light switches off, when you turn on the Sunglasses holder switch....A few pics....

Thanks kim and steve for ya comments.....the actual centre dome interior light is a blue led festoon already, but not sure about doing the sunglasses holder lights yet, blue light is EXTREMELY hard to read by, so I chose to keep the sunglasses holder light normal so I can still read Street directories lmao !!!!
