Lookin' good!

I removed my instrument cluster and installed my dual range tach. I also installed a AEM serial gauge. The serial gauge is awesome showing more functions that what I had. Programming was not for the novice, but I have it showing multiple different functions, like battery voltage, water temp, wideband, fuel pressure, boost, and speed ect.

Time to put a chevy duramax xfer case in that thing! :)

Shitty luck on the xfer case situation man. At least you got to make a run and have some fun with it!

Don't sweat the boosted v8's, it's all relative.

I've always wondered why no one makes an aluminum exhaust system. Good to see that it can be done. Looks great btw. (I realize that it's old news, but my first time seeing it.) As for the rest of the thread, omfg, holy shit, and jfc. Great Work man!! That's a pretty df amazing 1G. Oh and I was just curios what gauge that Al. tubing is, and how is it holding up?

There are a lot of people with AL exhaust, I think mark is the only local, for now.

Running aluminum exhaust can be a pain in the ass. I have it on my Evo and the Talon. I have broken both systems, and the breakage is at just about the same point too. I think I have most of the weak points fixed and the welds are reinforced where the aluminum connects to the SS down pipe. I have 3K miles on the evo now with no issues since the repair. I’m sure over time I will have other issues, owning a tig welder comes in handy! I don’t recall the gauge, I think 16?

Yeah, I have cut my best 60's and 1/4 mile mph and times on a stock case. Just some bad luck on the upgraded ones.

Making some side mirror deletes out of fiberglass. I want them to cosmetically look good and be easily removable so I can install the factory in minutes. Should be a fun little project. Anyone know a painter that could finish paint these once I'm done?

I got a friend that is a painter, just tell him they are plates about the size of where the mirror bolts up?
In black?
Shoot me a PM with info so not to clutter your thread.
