What's that gauge?

Oh, that's my blood pressure gauge, it's like a reverse boost gauge. When things are working, it goes down. When things start to go bad, it has a warning tone that says "warning, danger to manifold"

;D

Any Supra Owner who puts this in his/her car.

But seriously, if you do see a supra sporting this gauge, it would be better for all of us if you'd break into said Supra and rip the sucker out. It's for the community.

^^^that sounds like a good idea but then my wife would tell me the fun level has to stay below 10 with her in the car

So put a BAR measuring gauge in it. ;)

I have an idea for a gauge: HP taken by radiator fan. I'd target those who switch to e-fans while still having the means/room to have a clutch one. I'd probably have a high return rate, everyone would claim it's broken because it'd read atleast the same number.

That gauge would be irrelevant for those of us with JZ's and PWR setups. We don't have that choice. :(

te72: I know, that's why I worded it that way (go re-read). I thought of you when I wrote it. No I didn't, but if it makes you feel better to think so you're welcome to. :biglaugh:

We already have a light for that, its on the far left and its shaped like a bird cage because once its light up, you have to dig into your nest egg and fix her..
My birdcage light only lights up going around turns in a spirited manner. ;)
