Got a new addition for the car today.
4ltr Lifeline fully plumbed in extinguisher. This is in addition to the 2.25ltr handheld extinguisher in front of the passenger seat.

I've read this thread from beginning to end whilst watching the footie (this is much more entertaining!!) and I couldn't leave it alone!! haha

For those of you interested in another top build with a very similar attention to detail as this build, although this is an offshore powerboat, there are lots of similarities!!

I'm building up my Prodrive Bugeye STI as it's going hillclimbing, although to nowhere near this standard, so it's been really inspiring!!

No offence to Frayz here as he has made an amazing job on the bomber but that boat is on a different planet with what is being done with it!

I think the two builds are extremely similar in their attention to detail!
Frayz, are you related to Pete, the guy building the Hunton!? haha

Nice bit of kit and a worthwhile addition in my opinion.

Hope it never needs to be used.

Some of you know the inside is having a few changes and a freshen up. First to arrive is an all new bespoke made gauge pod for the dash top that aims 3 meter at the driver.
This has been made from the original clock housing so fitment is OEM.

It will be like a fair ground in there at night Frayz with all those's gauges lol,why not just get a Toucan from TimH[JTInnovations]?
That would be more your style with keeping it sophisticated and clean!?

Because I already have all the Defis and sensors and prefer the instant clear sight of the individual meters than a Toucan screen.

It's not instant if your tapping along and can't give any concentration to them
I had defi's and sensors etc X4 but I have sold them for a Toucan and sensor package,to much to look at and takes away attention from the road if you ask me.

Same as the Toucan the Defis will alert if there is a problem so I don't have to stare at them all the time. The only 2 gauges I ever really watch are my wideband and KS3.
Like I said, thought about the Toucan but decided to keep the indevidual meters for now. I have the Defis and the sensors all plumbed in nice. I see no need to change all that for minimal gain.
