I got my plasma gauge overlays yesterday,so i decided to work on it today.
This pic is a little blurred but i think you can appreciate the colors.

Those gauges look like a cobalt's.....

 

[Argie]

Hmm...,never saw the cobalt ones.
This i bought it on ebay from Europe.

 

[benny1562]

Love the car, but at some angles it reminds me a lot of a nissan sentra, love the engine paint job, I give 5stars lol

 

[Argie]

sentra? noooooooo!!! Lol

Hey buddy, you got everything sorted out with the car?

Great job with it so far man.

 

[Argie]

Yes,Mapa19 recommended me to get a silicone coupler,cut it to the diameter of the pipe and insert it trough up to where the MAF sits,cut a hole to fit the MAF and after that the car is running amazingly smooth,no hesitation at all.
I fixed few issues with the plasma glow gauges thou,the speedometer neddle wasn"t moving at all,so re-adjusted the screws on the side and also soldered one of the wires that came off on the tachometer.
Tested last nite and works!.
I will post more pics of the interior and exterior later on.
Thanks for all your help wildcard26
,cheers.

 

[wildcard26]

No problem dude, glad to hear it is all sorted out.

 

[Argie]

Little by little,can't go crazy and spend money,otherwise wify will kick me out of the house lol!!!
Only thing i am debating now is my wheels.
I don't know if i should keep them and painted flat black/red lip and change my huge tires or just try to sell my rims/tires and get 16"s.
that is my every day one million dollar question.

 

[wildcard26]

Yeah you got to make sure of High WAF (Wife Approval Factor). I just changed rims again the other day to 17" ENKEI EDR9 (Matte Black) and I am surprised I am still getting meals. lol The 16" are the best balance between looks and speed to IMHO.
