Sharpie Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Got some Apex-i gauges fitted by Paul Whiffin last week and am really happy how they look. I wanted them in the air vents, as like Flavio's car (Thanks Flavio) but, thought that they would stand out on there own so, got some silver dash rings as well.

Sharpie Posted January 5, 2003 Author Share Posted January 5, 2003 Thanks B3any I use the climate control all the time and have just been using the windscreen and foot well blowers together, during the summer and winter months to test if I could live with just these vents first. I can, so it worked out The heater in the soop is really good and fast at warming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Did Paul use the trick of removing all the insides of the vents and sticking em in there? Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Not sure Neil ? Paul ? Gaz, He did remove all of the blades but, put them into a box ready for the bin. I know that Flavio was able to remove them intact so that he could replace them if he sold the car and wanted to remove the gauges but, Paul had a few problems doing this so, he snapped them off.

Might be worth hangin gon til the spring though, it's not like you can use it in this weather anyway! The list of mods you've got is pretty much what I intend to do including the boost controller. I'll stop at that though.....I'm not a 100% power nutter although more than stock is always good! :flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
