Aftermarket parts (old school)

I was looking through some RotaryRocket magazines that the P.O. of my car came across while cleaning his house. I found it quite amusing to see all the old parts that were sold, and I was just wondering if anybody has any still installed on their car.

First up, a trip computer, tells you MPG, digital cruise control, 44 engine monitors, etc.



Next I found something we ALL want and possibly need- cupholders



The last thing that really caught my eye was this Racing Beat digital boost controller. Looks pretty neat, and its made for the T2.



Other parts include a polycarb rear glass cover, bin cooler packs, stainless steel rocker panel covers, retractable cargo covers, and a digital performance timer (seen to the top left of the trip computer).

So my question is, does anybody still have these parts installed on their car?

Thats some pretty cool stuff, I can think of a number of times that cup holder thing would have come in handy.

So that boost controller raises the boost to 15 psi on a stock car....? that doesn't seem safe. Cool maybe, but not safe

That stuff is all aftermarket.
The first one is just a generic item that has instructions for installation into the RX-7.

The third one is a Racing Beat product - not the greatest boost controller out there.
