Found a pic of my Defi Racer Gauges, Boost, Oil Pressue, Oil Temp. Waited months for these as no longer in production. Wanted white face gauges to go with the rally look but couldn't get them anywhere. Indigo-GT was breaking a scooby, and these were in it. Right place at the right time :)

Not that i'm critisising your motor Steve cos it's a credit to you mate but get a pod for your defi's. It will make it look a lot cleaner. Just my opinion of course.

Hi Bud,

Personally I don't think a gauge pod goes with the rally look, seen then in various cars, but not in many rally cars. I like the look of stand alone gauges as think it suits the car more.

Thanks for the comments guys.

New clutch is now fitted, so back on full boost again :)

Old clutch and flywheel was well goosed, so all replaced again..well for another 2 yrs. :)

Some phone pics:

nicly polished steve :whistling::whistling:

Cheers Mate,
Needs another polish though, was 1.5 yrs since it's been polished properly. Need to go over it again when I get the time and weather.
Use it everyday and it's not garaged, so is getting a bit faded again. Always something needing done :)

Nice moves steve !! :)

Was out in the afternoon for a bit having it spinning on the spot, but was attracting too much attention for some reason, so buggered off for a bit and got my wee camera out. :)
Will be giving it some up in Scotland over the next 2 weeks. :razz:
