Took in the RS2000 Dash I got to get sorted and turned out the Voltage Reg was gone and had blown the Fuel & Temp Gauges. $200 later and a new voltage reg was in and all sorted. I also had them fix the tacho from my old dash and put that into the RS2000 one. It needed a new needle too. I have also painted the other needles flouro red to match. Cheers Matt

I installed the RS Dash today and as it doesn't have a oil pressure warning light I dodged one up. Everything working properly and just waiting on a block fitting so i can hook up the Oil Pressure Line, Oil Temp Gauge and Oil Pressure Switch. Cheers, Matt

I went to pick a part the other week and took a heap of thermo fan switches. I now have 85, 91 & 97 deg switches and they all screw into the hole in the thermostat housing. They came off lasers as well as a few sigmas. The little rubber boot on it looks pretty standard. I have no plans to do the them fan for a while but was just keen to see if the switch actually fit. Cheers, Matt

At this stage I am aiming for the MSCA round in Phillip Island on the 21st July. I have now found out one of my Koni Shocks is rooted. It'll be $250 to get it repaired but I am also thinking of getting a set of the GAZ complete coilover setups that are adjustable for bump & rebound and just selling my current set up as is.  I am undecided so will make a few calls and work out some costs. Cheers, Matt

Yeah, I have spoken to a few people who are using them and the feedback has been great. I have been in contact with GAZ direct in the UK and they are very helpful indeed.
Get some pics up of yours when they arrive.
Cheers,
Matt

Got a block fitting so I can mount the RS2000 Oil Pressure Line, 20psi Oil Pressure Switch and an Oil Temp Sender too. Cheers, Matt

Finally pulled my finger out and painted the rear quarters today. Having the car in one color makes a definite improvement. I then used some tape to hold on the Rallye Pack Stripe Kit I've had a for a while to see how it looks. I think it looks great. As I don't have the skill or knowledge to stick these on, does anyone know how to do or is willing to do it for a slab? I am locked in to do the 6 hour at Winton in October and will hopefully get in a track day or 2 before then. Few pics Cheers Matt

Looking great Matt. I think the decals are applied with soapy water, positioned into place. Then squeegee out the water with plastic card and peel away the backing. Good luck!
