looks awesome. how does it look from the drivers view? as in hold the camera on the headrests. does the gear stick get in the way?


the gear stick does obstruct the view of the oil temp gauge when its in first and 3rd gear but its all good when in 4th and 5th gear..

yeah apparently when you have the wrong O2 sensor in it (narrow band) the LED's run back and forth as it cant read it properly, so i was told

just wondering what the AF guage does when your driving....does it move rapidly back and forth when its in closed loop?

ive got one of the 10led guages that u can make from a kit...its really only good to see if the O2 is fundtioning properly


it does fluctuate a little when cruising it goes up and down in the stoich area but occassionally does fluctuate out of the stoich area. but works fine on full throttle and deceleration..eg when on full throttle it starts of at the start of the rich zone and at 5500rpm its about 3/4 of the rich zone..

yesterday i decided i had enough of the chrome body moulds.
they were starting to bubble up and peel.
so after peeling the clear off the door moulds and sanding the chrome foil off..
i gave them a coat of undercoat and sprayed them black..(like the xr sprint)
the bumpers were a different story i couldnt peel the clear coating off so i removed the moulds completely..

after doing the rounds to a few paint supliers,supercheap,peps and ford to find some moulding to replace them. a guy at a panel shop put me on to a company called dura mould.
this guy sells the replacement moulds in chrome,black,red ect..

so now after a bit of cleaning the old glue off i replaced the bumper moulds with new stuff.. :D

Too easy Huggie,
Found their contact details on google, but they don't have a web site, so I'll just have to contact them tomorrow if I get time.
