Where can I get a nice vent gauge mount from, I'm sure I saw a user on here that makes them but can't think for the life of me who it is?

Me and dave fitted new l8 ecu , pfo9, 86lb injectos new chip an wasted spark tonight, no probs except for thr coil being marked incorrectly & firing order totally wrong, 10 mins and all sorted.
My rev counted only revs to 3000 now and then drops to 0.
I know there is a rev counted mod to make but have no documentation for it.
Can anybody help please.

My new wheels.
Big thanks to Wheelmania in Halesowen who spent a lot of time to measure to get the correct offset. I think they got it spot on to fill the arches.

Nice car, not a fan of the wheels, you've just made it look like dosens of other modded three door out there from this generation imo, this would not stand out not from 15 others at an RS show.

Just my opinion.

Yes I know it looks like many other 3 doors but I think they just suit the car, the RL7's look great on an escos or saff and even on a track prepped 3 door but on a road trim 3 door I think you can't beat splits. Knowing me I will probably change my mind at some stage, maybe 20" chrome spinners

I don't blame you, I've looked at a lot of wheels so it didn't look like all the others but I think they just suit the car. I had to trim my arches at bit more as I am running et12 on the back and et15 on the front

Lovely looking motor mate, wheels look spot on IMO

Just a thought for you regarding the rev counter if you ever wanted a standard looking cluster.
I had my XR2 turbo running cossie management with wasted spark/coil pack and was running a set of late K plate Sierra coilpack clocks so as to have the correct reading (and a 150mph speedo ), it worked perfect and have looked at fitting the same rev counter to a set of cossie clock for my cossie S2 ERST project and they look the same.
