Well Mal and I took a ride to the new carmate shop @ villawood. Nice and big, bit on the empty side.

I bought a wheel and gauge. Pics below.

We also had a look at the C-West bar (they actual had one) and it was actually pretty well constructed. Will mount up very similar to the standard bar using the same mounting points. Fibreglassing is not too bad but I am by no means an expert. We both agreed that with a few mods the bar would be hot. The air dam does receed quite far back so will need to be chopped out to fit a decent IC.

New Autometer Boost Gauge

mmmm LFGs... and no dan... you cannot have it :)

Only downer is that they didnt have a boss kit to suit the car. So off to the markets tomorrow and failing that - autospeed will deliver to the door :)

Its a liquid filled gauge (LFG). Helps stop the needle from bouncing around and what not.

Dunno how it works. The new wheel line comes out with the horn on the side of the wheel where the thumb pads are. As I dont have an airbag... I dont care :)
