Boost gauge is awesome!! Too bad the damn car doesn't come with a digital clock in the computer unit. Hope you wear a watch.

Front mount looks good. See you flipped the horns to fit the unit. Nice!

thanks!!! I understand the purpose of the analog clock cause it’s suppoed to look “classy” but when your driving it’s not the easiest thing to look at.
If I deigned the car I would have made it a digital clock that when you were in Eco mode or normal it looked analog and then in sport and sport + it changed to digital and had a face that looked exactly like the gauge cluster in said mode that would look awesome!!! Hopefully another week or so and car should be running although gonna be hunkering down for a hurricane that’s hitting later in the week.

It sounds like we will have the same storm hitting NJ, stay safe.

They could have put a digital clock literally ANYWHERE inside the OS and it would be welcomed by everyone who's ever driven the IS haha. The analog clock is nice and classy but doesn't discount an analog clock completely.

Hey bud, couple questions.

1 - Did you get the Tom's strut bar to work with the AVS module in the engine bay?
2 - I might have misted but are you going with a SC (RRacing?) or custom turbocharger set up? Why the digital boost gauge?

BTW - stay dry and safe!

yes the strut bar works with the avs module you just have to remove the dust covers to fit it.
it is the rr racing supercharger kit still about a week or more till it’s done.
and the boost gauge is just the one they sent me with the kit.

Love the progress of your car. I just received my rr emblem and I'm not sure if I like the hollow look either. After you used 3m tape to attach it to the plastic, did you use 3m tape to attach it to the grill or did you use silicone like rr suggests in their instructions?

Thanks!!! Yea I used silicone on the back plate to attach it now I have to remove it though cause I need the airflow for the supercharger but aesthetics wise it looks best with the plate behind it

Alright got the car started Monday for the first time and it ran good just a couple small hiccups but nothing difficult, finalizing the wiring this week and checking every nut and bolt.
looking to drive the car for the first time Saturday.
if you’d like to see videos make sure you check my Instagram since I can’t really post videos on here.
