Utterly pointless waste of money that you'd get bored of if you have'nt first crashed from looking at it's useless readings.....aaaaand I want one!! Boost gauge and water temp would be interesting. Worth posting up Mr B. :thumbsup:

Thats what I thought ... boost / intake temp / voltage / water gauge .. throttle position sensor .. all little things to help with diagnostics etc

and it looks good

yep ... but still have access to it

She hardly uses it now, and in that time it has started to grow on me .. its turned into a Garage queen hobby car, but I have pushed the miles up to 620

Like most other forum members have said give it time and it will grow on you which it has.

You mean one of these (forgive the quality of the photograph, the 0-100kph time resets when the car stops):

I use the Vmax indicator, shift light and coolant temperature on trackdays, as well as the 0-100kph timer to improve my ability to launch the car from stationary.
