The link is blocked at work, but I will have a look tonight.

When it was launched, it was only for OBD equipped cars - unless I am thinking of something else - but it would be cool if it can work.

So how much is it with the sensors?

Apologies, I see now that the Multi Gauge is something different to what I was thinking of, which was the Informeter Touch.

The mutli-gauge does look like a nice piece of equipment - since what you really NEED is the alarms, so if you can set them and have them function for all of the parameters you are measuring it would be very nice.

Not only does it look great with that "staffie-like" stance... It f***s off too!
That car is so well tuned that even under boost and the occassional flooring of the LOUD PEDAL, not a single puff of smoke, no overfuelling, nada!

Love the wheels too!!!

BK tunes BK's car! How many people do you know that drives around with the laptop pluged in.... This car is seriously stupidly perfect. The power is insane and so smooth you have no idea until youve been for a drive......

Thank you Vincenzo !!

Last night on my way home I notice some evil looking led`s in my rear view mirror.
The oke is really like on my ass and just itching to come past. Sooo, I do what we turbo boys all do..I gear back two gears and get her on steam.
We hit the airport split direction Kempton and I let fly. Evil eyes is right on my backside though ! Traffic looms and I slow down, evil eye`s does not and goes low which was stupid in the traffic.
We both take the Benoni sweep and we let rip. He slows for the curve before Atlas rd and I take him on the outside.
We go..damn, do we go. No traffic here at all.
It turns out to be a Merc C63 AMG. That thing is bloody quick !. I gave it all and we went neck to neck. No gain, no loss. Once again traffic loomed and I pulled over to chat.
Oke is rather a big fellow at all the drags and his Merc runs strong. He could not believe it was a wimpy little 2.5 l engine..
I was surprised, could hear that glorious sounding paddle shift box next to me while I battled rev limiter then grating gearbox changes..Anyway, sanity prevailed and we went off more mundane, dicks had been swung and found to be rather equal.

Until we meet again friend.. :wink:

Stagea has been gutted and the engine is here at the shop. Excited as well as a bit disappointed.
It came with no flywheel,starter,oil fitting on block,engine mounts or brackets, manifold off, no screws, bolts or nuts,water pump pulley, power steering pump and brackets, alternator......
I may have to look at buying a complete fcukin engine just for this crap.

If Id known this I would have gone 2JZ...one fcukin shot !
