Weather too bad on Sunday hope you got home ok.
Checked that rear deck lid is gone so I mounted the scoop on yours. Found a way to route the breather tube into the body vented area do you want me to do it on yours and use a K&N filter as a normal one would be ruined if it got wet. Those gauge overlays are for the back lit gauges will have to cut up[ to mount on yours and you can't use the tach one as it has no oil pressure gauge in it. What I did on mine is use an 85 GT speedo which reads only in km/h up to 140. With crystal in it actually accurately reads as mph just have to get a small sticker to cover the km/h with mph. You will only have mph on the speedo then. I know where another one of them is do you want me to  get it for yours instead of the overlays. It is a whole gauge pod with the 6 cyl tach still in it, wreckers wants $50 for it though let me know which way you want it to be. Ordered the muffler today should be in within 3 to 5 days so should be able to start car and possibly drive this weekend.

And I just sent away for a 6 cyl tach!! Go figure. So what you are saying is that the 140 kph GT speed will read 140 mph with the new crystal in it. The curent 140 kph SE guage will not work? I am missing something as the indicator should be the same for both. I will call you tonight.

If you can get a tach  get it you never know if the one in the wreckers is any good. Problem with over lay is that it is for back light gauges so the light shines through the gauge not reflected off the front of the gauge. I can cut it up and mount it and it should fit ok but problem is the glossiness of the gauge surface because it is for back light it is a duller flat black surface with the markings also dull non glossy. It may be difficult to read the gauges once mounted for this reason as the normal gauges are glossy reflective surface. To use them properly you would have to have a complete back light gauge pod with the extra above radio pod for the oil pressure gauge. Problem would not be accuracy as the electronic portion of the gauges is the same it would be a matter of whether or not you would be able to read the gauges. If you like I can try and print off a glossy paper version and try mounting that to a gauge and see how it looks.

Brian: are you looking for a guage set or do you have what you need?  I might have a set or two - one is in my car at the moment but is going to be replaced (at SOME point) and another I bought on ebay just to experiment with.

Your only limitations are set from within, by a lack of vision.  But to have vision alone leaves the process idle.  Ergo, without action your thoughts are worthless.

$150 USD  for a high pressure pump. Not bad. I looked around and found the best deal at Upper Canada Auto Parts. (thanks Graeme). Got a carter pump for the 3.8 supercharged at a club  price of $163 + tax. I would recomend these people at UP due to there knowlege, curious service and price.  (not a paid endorsment)

Experimented with paint marker and blacking out the mph readings leaving only kmh readings and the mph marker on bottom. Doesn't look too bad, now crystalled it will read up to 140 mph. Will install in car and see how it looks installed.
Once again I would like to stress that the max speed limit is 100kmh or 60mph so there really is no need for a higher reading speedo other than for impressing stupid kids at car shows. Also blonde females.

Oh no it lives another dangerous driver on the way. Just need to have PCM reprogrammed, bleed the brakes and its done. If you want me to take it somewhere local for safety I will need the ownership to do so.

Exhaust done yes and sounds real nice, I put the GTP tips on it for you while I was at it. It is wired as a 98 GTP to avoid the need of newer pass key and body computer. I have been using my PCM to run it till I get your's reprogrammed for the GTP set up. Checked with local dealerships and they know nothing and say it can't be done. Will have to find someone who can reprogram OBD II or take it to dealer's in Peterborough they did mine last year with no problems. I fiberglassed the underside of your deck lid scoop for more strength. Once I get these damn front bleed screws to let go can bleed brakes then she's drivable. Need to figure out good place to mount your det toy any suggestions where you would like it. I think you're gonna like what you see when you get it. Wish mine looked this clean.

The det toy should be mounted somewhere out of site yet close so that I can reach it. Front dash maybe? Could use some suggestions.  CLEAN --Does that mean that I do not have to vaccum it?  Cheesy Grin Will go tonight and get the ownership changed. Took an hour to find the original paperwork.

No I mean clean as everything is out of sight that should be PCM inside car passkey hidden plus does not need any vacuuming. Good idea would be to get trip permit for it so can legally move around for safety and e-test.
