[DoriftoSlut]

Ok, hope you enjoy them. Thanks so much to SPL Parts for the goodies, the gauges are so fucking rad. What i installed: Greddy sandwich oil filter adapter. SUPER easy to do. Barely even dripped out any oil haha. The sensors fit right in perfectly and work perfectly also. The gauges are White face 60mm Defi electronic peak/warning link gauges with the link controller (its that cool little thing velcro'd on the bottom side of my dash right above my right knee.

Also, thanks to Neko Punch for getting me the nifty Yashio Factory Okachan water temp sensor and unit (velcro'd over the stock shitty temp gauge)

How shit works:

The water temp unit shows a digital display of your temp (duh) I have my sensor mounted in the elbow coming off the block as apposed to a radiator hose cause im cool like that and got Garage Works to take time in their busy day a couple weeks ago and help me out. So i read my temp AS MY COOLANT comes out of my block. Sweet. Anyways, this thing is all trick and shit and yeah its really cool.

The gauges are RAD. The sensors plug into the link unit, then you plug your gauges into the link controller. Or one gauge i shoudl say. From there, you daisy chain the gauges, and just plug them into the next, and so on and so forth. The link controller has a bunch of cool functions. It has a button to show Peak, a button that sets your warning light (and beeping noise that accompanies the red light). It also allows you to record (like a lap or something) and then stop recording whenever you choose, then you can hit the PLAY button and it will play back the movement of the gauges during the recording period. YES, its rad.

I wish i could utilize the whole capabilities of the LINK system. Through the unit i can have all these features with ANY of the Defi link gauges. Like boost, tach, water temp, fuel press. EGT, intake mani pressure, and there is a HUD unit that displays on your windshield (sold seperately) Also, you can get a little digital meter that reads all these functions (except boost) and all you buy is the link system, the display digital readout unit, and the sensors. Its like a little mini STACK cluster. But Tach sold seperately. Haha.

Ok, all these parts are available through SPL Parts, www.splparts.com and they all just RULE! Anyways, compared to my friend's GReddy gauges... yeah, lets just say he's gonna be trying to steal mine. Gotta watch out! Hahah. Not that GReddy is bad or anything.

Ok, i will let you know how everything works a little bit later, after some drifting and hard driving. Time to go party. LATES!

[DRFT]

nice work man.

a little OT,i see you are using a bride seat and s14 seat belts, but are you using harness's too? for the seat or are you using s14 belts on them? and if you are using the s14 seat belts, how are you buckling up when you drive? going through the side hole or just having the belt going over the inter seat(not very safe)? thanks

[S14DB]

Fiberglass and resin is a wonderfull thing. My bud has done his Bomex front like three times already.

[twitchy]

radical

[Hawd]

Bad ass gauges. The defi black face gauges look bad ass too. All of it is $$$ though but I think they are worth it.

[RedSuns]

you gotta start a new website! www.ducttaped.com :cool:

[adey]

I'd like to see your trunk in the winter... you'll have little fishies and turtles and shit swimming around!!
Yay for DIY homemade tails.

[Steeles]

dammit michelle how much D have you been eating?!?! lol I'm suprised you found time to drive that bish with what you been doing on your knees to afford all that! hehe at least the car looks good ;)

[lbcklik1486]

Nice parts, but it looks a little bootlegged, might just be from all the wires hanging down on the passenger side. I love the Defi guages, but I'd put the guages how HaLo has them, just out of practicality, it'd be easier to see. But nice car none the less, I think your car needs some facial corrective surgery, the bandages are coming off, :p

[No Motiv]

did you get the for free!!!???

[nokeone]

did you get the for free!!!???

everything is FREE for PG!!!!...;)

[DoriftoSlut]

No, these were not free. Only the neons and battle scars were free.

Don't make fun of my lack of glovebox. Its coming one day.

[nokeone]

No, these were not free. Only the neons and battle scars were free.

hey!..those battle scars took work...hard and lots of it...give yourself some credit...

[pruto]

hey lindsey, what kinda seat are you sporting now?

[Brian]

zeta 2 type L


sorry i am not Lindsay.

[pruto]

its ok, you PG people are all the same anyway ;)

does lindsey fit in the L? he's kinda skinny, i'd think a normal zeta would be perfect for him

[smellslikecurry]

can i have your shift knob?

[BSeay]

your shift knob looks like a huge dildo....but battlescars = hardcore!

[Dousan_PG]

type 2 is not tall enough. he's tall people

[DoriftoSlut]

its ok, you PG people are all the same anyway ;)

does lindsey fit in the L? he's kinda skinny, i'd think a normal zeta would be perfect for him

Im 6'2 ish but 165. The normal Zeta II is too short. Even the Type L is JUST perfectly snug. Any mroe and it would be borderline uncomfortable.

The Zeta III Type L's are huge in comparison though.

[Var]

Umm. the interior of that car looks like ... like... i dunno. wtf.

big hat, pink rag, shift knob, neon light.. NAY

Steering wheel, racing seat, guages, electronics..YAY

make up your mind dude. Funny clown car? or nice drift car with battle scars?

[DoriftoSlut]

hey lindsey where you get the cud holder from. your brake lights go the same way as the one coupe from touge friends

So that's why you picked gray . . .

[DoriftoSlut]

Absolutely! I knew that i would be doing this one day. Might as well make it look a little more presentable for the inevitable.

Buit honestly nowadays they make red, black, yellow, green, blue duct tape. The black hides a little better than the silver. The rest of the colors... i dunno depends. I think black is black basically (unless you do some funky color mixing) so that tape hides a tad bit better. My silver changes colors depending on the light. In the bright sun its very light, bright silver. At night or the shadows it is a steel grey... it has a lot of pearl in it.

only thing I don like about this car is the driver ... HAHAH, he will get de [email protected][email protected]!

[sideviewcivic]

hey lindsey where you get the cup holder from. Do your brake lights go the same way as the one coupe from touge friends


edited mothers day

[DoriftoSlut]

I dont get it... what coupe on Touge Friends?

As for the cup holder? uhh just at some J-style car parts store in the Asian parts of Socal. IT was like $9. There are some at Super Autobacs too (but i got mine before Autobacs opened in the US).

[wanganwonder]

you know you're hardcore when you match your paint color to a duct tape. Also- did you have to mod/remove your bumper support for that front? If so- watch out with that frontal crashing stuff, man. i don't want to see people getting hurt.

[DoriftoSlut]

No worries... we're talking about the guy who anticipated crashing. My front bar is DEFINATELY there.

[sideviewcivic]

touge friends is a forum, i think one of the moderators has his coupe brake lights setup to twinkle from inner to outer the light up when he taps the brake

[wanganwonder]

good work. bumper clears it no problems?

[DoriftoSlut]

good work. bumper clears it no problems?
Oh yeah... i had to trim the upper portion of the vents cause it was hitting the very bottom of the support. THats just cause the mold they used makes the vents "deep". But yah now there are no problems. Except the shitty quality of the bumper and how heavy it is.. hahah.

sideview... i dont know of that car, sorry.

[wanganwonder]

niceness. except if i were you (by that i mean had a coupe) i would have painted it sexy knights onevia green (like in avatar). but then again, duct tape doesn't come in lime-ish green sparkle. it's ok though. your car owns :coold:

[Dousan_PG]

why copy another car? be original
if you know enough about sexy knights you'd understand this color the car is already painted.......
