Youre a firey? Ive always wanted to volunteer as a firey ay!

Yep when you put it like that it does sound suss lol

And its those things you mentioned that its reassuring to have it for....i watched dad use his late night on a drive back home when i was about 10 on a car that had crashed into a ditch with a lady trapped in it

It was a quiet and relatively deserted road, and i remembered waiting ages for the firies and ambos to arrive....and i reckon if he hadnt showed up when he did, with a working fire extinguisher that ladies day would have been a bit different

That was the event that prompted me to always think serious about fire safety..in the car and in the home

Yeah mate I'm with Berkeley Vale RFS. If you have the time it's an awesome thing to do.

That's it man. It's by only for our own safety but it could save someone else's life too

I have had two cars catch fire on the road out the front of the workshop.

 

The first was a Celica that had a small engine fire. The driver was out and the bloke who lived in the house the car was in front of, put it out with a garden hose before I even got across the road.

 

The other was an Escort with yet another engine fire. I ran over with the fire extinguisher but when I realised it was an Escort, and the driver was out and safe (and with others), I turned around and went back to work.

Never really liked Escorts.

 

 

I have always had extinguishers in the older cars, and still do, plus I could probably could do with one in each of the Subarus. I also have one in the garage.

These look great but they don't move with the seat. The ones I made for my cars are attached to the seat not the floor, like a Mercedes Benz whom I stole the idea from.

Yep I'm going to buy one of those brackets,

do they make black fire extinguishers? haha


Great work Matt!
Skids ahoy

[Matt]

Could always paint or plastidip one Rob

Scangauge is in properly now...looks fairly tidy! You can obviously see the suction mount and a bit of the wiring through the windscreen but meh

I may look into making a smaller bracket to make it a bit neater..but for now im fairly happy with it all





You can see the awesome grandpa spec dash mat in the 2nd shot...because race car

[Barbbachello]

Tits. How do they get their data? OBD or sensors to a box or?

[Matt]

Just plugs straight into the obd2 port and reads everything the ecu reads...had a trip meter etc in it aswell

Theres some it cant read outta the box...but the site has codes to makes your own gauges to read things like boost via the map sensor etc

[Barbbachello]

Stupid SSM 

[Matt]

More reason for conversion?

[Miguel]

Where'd you get your dashmat? Looks like it fits a lot nicer than mine. Does it actually lineup with the windscreen vents too?

[Cam.]

Always wanted a scangauge!

Always wanted a scangauge!

Theyre awesome! One in the paj shows intake air temp, boost, auto temp and water temp....super handy!!

[Robert]

Yep can get them from Supercheap for about 64, Matts Looks quite a bit thicker than the sca one

Can get a sunland for a bit more $


Will be buying a scan gauge when I convert!

[Miguel]

Sweet might have to grab one then . Grabbed mine out of a GX at pickapart so not sure who made it but it's pretty poor. At least it only cost $7

[Matt]

Its not very thick Rob....wraps a touch around the edge which makes it look thicker i think?

Mine was about $65 i think? Dunno the brand as i never looked...and the cardboard is in the bin now lol

[Matt]

Today......is.....the....day!

Lots of sweet e85 in the car, tools packed ready to swap a few things over before the tune, $800 in my wallet and a huge excited yet nervous smile on my face
