My first attempt at picture posting. Lets hope it works.

My car started life as a Terzo (290) before I started subjecting it to "plastic surgery". Hope my fellow Terzo lovers aren't too disappointed












Enjoy the piccies

Simon...., I like it...such a good choice of colour also. Like your wheels a lot too, nearly went for some GT jobbies myself

This is me......

I like the "swept back" aerial

What rear spoiler have you got there Simon, looks kinda like a higher and standard high level one

Pods looks cool aswell...defi's??
Did you fit them yourself?

Nice one

Excuse my ignorance but are the wheels Speedline GT1's or Ruota????

RON

Unless I'm very much mistaken, those wheels are new shape WRX jobbies, but in gold aren't they???????????????????

Houlbt

I think they are GT-1's. In 18"

Cheers for all the comments guys.

Have a gold star Tom. The wheels are 18" GT-1's, with 225/35 P-Zeros. However, on the Scooby Sport web site they do call them Ruota. Does anyone know if they are the same?
A firm, but enjoyable ride.

John - the spoiler was from Demon Tweaks. It is a bit like a higher version on the early sti spoiler.It was one of the first things I changed on the car. I changed that before I knew about all the other options now available, or about this bulletin board. Sometimes I think about changing it to a sti version 5 or 6, but then I think "well this is a bit more unique".

You are correct about the gauges - defi. Got them and the pod from Craig @ New Age Motorsort ( top service) and had them fitted by a local tuning garage. Fitting them myself looked a bit beyond my engineering capabilities. They do look cool, especially at night. They have also proved very useful, as when I changed my downpipe the boost pressure shot up to 1.45

Cheers again for the feedback

Love the dials shown in both your cars. Been toying with idea of fitting these gauges since I got the car, never use the storage area anyway. Which makes did you fit and what instuments did you include. Houblt, it looks like you have the boost gauge on the door pillar ?

Is it a garage fit or can the, not very competent, home mechanic fit them ?

Also, if it's not too cheeky, what would the cost of purchase and garage fitting be ?

Thanks Guys.

Very nice

Lovely car Simon, i do rather like the Terzo.

Personally i would get the wing mirrors colour coded and fit some clear or blue indicator lenses, i think that would finish it off nicely

Hi James,

You must be able to read my mind. I have just been enquiring about getting the mirrors, door handles and those black strips by the rear doors colour coded.

Clear indicators are also on the list. Sounds like a good Xmas present.

Hi JKJ2,

The gauges fitted to my car are made by Defi. The three gauges are all contected together and then to a control unit. This unit is then connected to the sensors in the engine. The control unit allows you to pre-set a warning for each gauge so that if you exceed the limits a warning light is lit. The unit also stores peak readings and can be used to record what is happening with your engine.

The gauges I have are boost pressure, oil pressure and oil temp.

They are not cheap, but then you get what you pay for. Craig at New Age Motorsport was doing a special offer - £500 for the control unit, three gauges and the central pod.
They really do look fantastic, especially when lit up at night.

It should be possible to fit them yourself, but I aired on the cautious side and got them wired and plumbed in professionally. The boost pressure seemed easy. The oil pressure sensor replaces the existing sensor, however to fit it requires the alternator to be removed. The oil temp sensor requires an adaptor from your local Scooby dealer, which also needs drilling. I'm not sure where it then fits. The gauges are supplied complete with all necessary connectors, but I had all the wiring soldered. Cost me about £100 to get them fitted.

Wiring the gauges together, removing the existing tray and fitting inside the cabin was my limit.

Hope you find this useful.

JKJ2 - hi again

Forgot to mention that the gauges come in two different sizes - 52mm and 60mm. The price is the same.

Those fitted to my car are the 60mm version.
