I think I'll have to go to Trini to see if you're right about the women.

Absolutely stunning car. Post Viperbob input, I am surprised it still runs in 4WD mode though. My only suggestion is to keep the ugly Greddy Profec controller in the glovebox somewhere or the ashtray.. Congratulations.

hi jean,

I was wondering about that as well I asked bob if he could relocate that controller. but thanks for the good advice now i know its not only me .and regarding the 2 wheel drive mode he actually suggested it but my set up was not for track. maybe in the future and do you guys have any suggestions where i can place a boost gauge in a 993

Congrats on your new car. Now how do you decide which one to drive? what a coincidence that you have 3 car garage.

Wow, really impressive car.

As for the boost guage, my suggestion is to put it in replacement of the clock... You can find in the market guages that fit perfectly, I recall seeing that Bob once mentioned a certain one that looked really nice... You then just put the clock still connected and well wrapped up inside the dashboard. BTW if you happen to find those very nice boost guages in whitefaces I would appreciate if you let me know through PM, I have a black one that I don't like.
Cheers
Jean

I like the Greddy guage since it displays vacuum as well.
Tony don't tell these wealthy guys what us poor Trinis have been enjoying for a lifetime or soon the women will start expecting stuff... you see what this could lead to.
