Thanks, I might just have to go and check them out at autozone

Another time on a 90+ degree day with the a/c on I watched that sucker go up past 220*, so I pulled over and checked what was going on. The fans seized up so I had to replace those. The factory idiot lights dont do jack. The OEM temp gauge would never have warned me that fast.

Yes the dead pedal is from a 350z modded to fit. I have the matching AE pedals .

That was 2:30am in FL last week. I was there on vacation with my Max and was going home from Applebees. As many of you know...and you especially since you live in FL...they have alot of bridges in certain areas like Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater that are like 4 or 5 miles long. It was empty, late, and there is no u-turns on bridges so I just punched it. First time I've gone over 100 on my 99, but that's probably my slowest over-100 run. I've gone much faster on other cars lol.

lol...read my post again. 2:30AM (morning). It was pitch dark outside...dead of the night. Either that or I didn't understand YOUR post lol.

I'm glad to back in NY. The FL sun is just too much. The palm trees and stuff are nice...but the sun is just too much lol.

lol. The CEL is due to improper wiring of the 2 O2 sensors no longer being used in my car as I am cali-spec and have a fed-spec H/Y/E. I need to buy two universal O2 sensors as the ones I have connected to the simulator either don't work or are wired incorrectly (I had to cut the wires to the actual O2 sensor).

I like the wideband very much. No complaints. I'll dig around and see if I have any night shots. Keep an eye out. Yes, it's multicolored. I even have the ability to change the colors however I wish via laptop.




BTW, nice setups Flava and Jsutter

Thanks, Im digging that one you have on the coloumn as well.
Im thinking of doing something similiar or trying to fab a spot on the bezel for the instrument cluster for a couple ofmore gauges.
Id like to monitor engine temp as well as oil pressure.

No, but they could be wired like that. They are my security lights. The OEM security light is the activation light for my MEVI.

OLD pic from when I had super white 194's and a bunch of white LEDs all over, but you get the idea.

Well its not on when Im driving if thats what you mean. People stay away from my car when they see them blink. Someone whom I dont know, freaked out at my cousin when he saw my car in a parking lot. He said to my cuz, "Stay away from that car its got some crazy alarm" or something like that. Id say its bright enough to discourage a thief.

^^Bump on the post count I guess...^^

Jsutter, that's a great idea. Have you added any other LEDs anywhere else? Asking since your going for the deterrence idea.

I had LEDs any were you could put them years back. Some burned out, some had horrible hot spots, so I gave up on them. I have a few here and there but not really noticeable.

buy a 98 or 99.

the swap for a 95-97 is a complete rewire of the 3 plugs in the back. you need the plugs from the new cluster too.
