Yay! my gauge mount from raceplates came!

http://www.macqc.com/raceplates/

custom plate cut to my specifications from a drawing I made. 10 out of 10 on service and 5 star product. I give them two thumbs up.

 

Pretty cool. How much did that cost?

 

Nice, bling blang!

 

$25 to my door - took them about a week from when they had the final drawing until i had it in the car.

strangely enough, with some real CF in the dash the cheap fake-CF accent the factory put on doesn't look as out of place

I like it a lot because it is simple and effective.

FWIW the quality of the CF mat is A+ and the cut is clean and precise


A slightly better in-dash shot:

 

Nice,

Looks nice, but I'm curious as to why you've turned them. The only thing that I would turn is a tach, because in theory it is affected by gravity anywhere but straight up or down.

It would appear that the gauges are turned so that when everything is reading normal the needles are horizontal. Easy to make sure everything is okay with a quick scan across the gauges. This is pretty common in race cars.

 

What a stunna

Get your axles fixed yet??

exactly - with my foot to the floor they should all be pointing straight to the left - easy to check on the track without having to actually read them.

canuckr - axles still broke - i havent heard from the shop that was going to do tham since 1AM tuesday morning.. time to start calling around.

believe-you-me nobody wants it fixed more than I do (well maybe my father, i've taken his spot in te garage until it's mobile again) since i've got a big vacation at the end of the month.

BTW i got the registration info for the grand prix of grattan (WMR-PCA) today, two days for $240

 

are you gonna be at the tire rack auto X this sunday?

 

Tommorow? doh!

Not a chance my car will be there. i busted a rear axle and am waiting on some custom ones being built not to mention SBR doesn't like my battery so they wont let me run.

a friend of mine wants some instruction so i MAY be able to talk him into going out there... have to see.

Detroit region has a "SMT" or street modified street tire class, is SBR running that local class as well?

 

well...sorry to hear of your troubles. ill be up there sunday.. its my first time competing at that track. if your up there look for a white EG competing in SM... thats me.
