Like the guy in the Porsche club with the 944 wearing the Porsche hat, Porsche shirt, Porsche watch, Carrera glasses and Porsche shoes. It starts to look a little, well, "played out" as the kids used to say (do kids still say "played out"?).

I think with time, the "trinkets" come and go... but **** it, it's your car and your path. None of it is permanent. Lord knows I've done questionable **** and come back around on it.

What's the rotor in the upper left next to the Mazdaspeed Oil Cap?

...or is there something really cool that I don't know about?

I ended up with the SBG coils. Only thing to pay attention to is the dwell settings in the P-FC.

All the rotor things can always be put on or taken off easily, so go for it.



Couldn't agree more. It's like, when I first bought my old Testarossa, I bought a boatload of Ferrari stuff, like a cap, a vest, T-shirt, blanket, etc. Now they sit in a closet.

TECH... It's a beautiful car and I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Sure is. You can do a dual or triple or 4 gauge pod. Whatever you wish.

You might also want to look into the RE-Amemiya column mount pod. I love that for the boost gauge. Made to hold a 52mm gauge, but a dremel will allow a 60mm gauge to fit.

Yeah there are a lot of bad reviews on the Tripower ones. I was going to do the column mount until I decided I wanted more than one gauge.
