My "custom" Heatshield, and A/F Gauge.
 
I know, ive been posting too much lately... oh well. Anyway, here is a crude heatshield I made (SS, and works great!), and my DIY A/F gauge!

Acually, a spare peice of SS from my auto lab. It is fairly thick too, prolly was an expensive peice that I got for free. Was alittle dented up tho.

damn right.... but i was talking about the heat shield... not the A/F gauge... that looks ok from how i see it

yeah post some more specs on the A/F gauge

it IS a WB signal right?

The gauge is a $18 volt meter off ebay, hooked up to an aux output on my LC-1. I just set the aux output to 1 volt at 10:1 and 2 volts at 20:1. It works great, like a .25 sec lag, but it does what I need great. Also, if you get a volt gauge off ebay, make sure it can use a 12 volt input for power.

You need to wrap those heater hoses before they roast and wrap the brake resivoir.

that shit is bright, needs a pot resistor to dim. I kinda want to do the same, I'd rather have a digital readout.
