Default So I'm going to do this canary yellow over blue kinda thing

Using otherwise completely useless ES needles, I've cut and modified them to proper length and then fired them yellow. Balanced them and calibrated them over a blue 32.

Considering my SC is DWP, this should be a beautiful setup on some one of a kind modded yellow needles! I'm actually pretty excited to drop this thing in the dash.

Regular ES needle, beside the modded one, beside the SC.











I have a bunch of spare ES needles so I'm going to modify another few.

I haven't used anything YET because this is a mockup. Once I get it together I'll know more. If you order an LCD screen from eBay get me one too cause mine is bleeding like crazy lol.

O.L.T. once again, you've turned out something really nice! Your catch phrase should be "Often imitated, never duplicated!"
