OK...some more mods



In reality it even looks way better...the blue is darker and the background is very dark blue but you don't see that on the pics.

Best Greetings,

Stocky,

Awesome job man! That looks great! Is there anyway for the speedo to match the mileage? Also, are you just working on the speedo, or are you also working on different colors for the rpm's?

Nick

Hey Nick,

actually NO...you cam't match exacly speedo and mileage as the filters which are build into the LCD itself give the slight diefference of colour.

I real it doesn't look as different as on the pic.

for the rpm's just look on the 2nd page of this thread and you'll see some mods ont the rpm.

actually on my last pic the rpm's are modded too...compare to yours

Best Greetings,

Yves

P.S.: Did your engine and exhaust modifs give you extra HP?! Which mod was the best?!

I loved the rpm mod where there was red marks dividing each rpm section. That was awesome. How soon would you recommend people doing this on there own. If I specified a certain design on my instrument panel, and riembursed you for your R&D, could you design a panel for my car anytime soon? Thanks again for all your work!


The exhaust and the header made the biggest difference in terms of bolt ons. The exhaust I felt more power all around, but the header really improved midrange torque. I honestly didn't feel a big difference with the intake, but the look of the CF is absolutely amazing. The AFC was the icing on the cake. There were pockets in my powerband that needed to be smoothed out, and the AFC did exactly that. I dynoed 218 @ rwhp at 8800 rpm. The midrange area was the biggest improvement compared to stock.

@Blk01S2k

Basically every color can be done just with an overlay (ex rainbow)

@S2KYSK and everyone interessted

but in order to archieve TRUE BLUE (I like that word) you'll have to go for either BLUE LED's or EL lighting foil

the LED's are easier to install but you'll need a hell of a lot of LED's to get it bright and for sure a claer or slighly blue diffuser plastic

The EL you'll have to hook up to an inverter (1000 HZ 150 V) and cut it to the right size!

El-lighting foil is pretty expensive but the LED's too
