Does the same as Jack's E-Zee K-bus digital temp gauge, although displays are different iirc.

Put the Thule bars on. Couldn't believe that it was so easy. Helped a lot as they were already built up so I just checked the settings and tightened it in position.

Finally went out for a spin for an hour or so, checked with Torque that all was well, and checked the under bonnet mirrors were still in place when I got back! One has refused to stick on one edge due to the shape there, but it seems safe so hopefully all good!

Very fancy could be good for looking at the back of the engine too.

Washed the road salt and gunk off the ZT, then decided to use the rest of the suds to decraminate the guano from Frosty.
Bloke walking past said "if you wash them any more often, you will wash the paint off" I said that I know what you mean, the old banger at the front was red too, before I started Mmm, birdshit city Brian |

Stereo surround
It started with this:
[IMG][/IMG] I thought I'd see what the stereo surround would look like in genuine stick-on walnut - tacky and awful was the short answer... I had been messing around with a Clarion graphic equaliser and some other bits I had tucked away in my garage and I'd found a convenient spot just above the stereo. It involved a bit of cutting but it fitted and I now had a graphic, plus a very thin space above it should I decide I wanted to post very thin items into my dashboard. During the wee small hours of the morning (one of my insomniac sessions - great for your random creativity) it occurred to me that I might be able to relocate the hazard warning and central locking switches, thus removing the accidental activation of either/both during long journeys when my arm flops down on the centre console due to boredom/impending stroke. So I made this: The bit in the middle is one of those ebay tyre pressure monitors - in this position it is denied the sunlight it relies on to recharge and so I've made it removable. I've replaced (for now) the two switches with a couple of spares I had - traffic info and traction control - at some stage I intend to put something more interesting in... |
