No problem Beaner, we will definetly have to get together durin the spirng/summer.


Well folks got the parcel tag in the mail today, and raced over to the postoffice to pick up the new gadgets! Just like a kid in the candy store, couldnt wait to try it out.



Here are some pic of the exact P/N's ive ordered incase anyone was wondering for themselves. It was a bit confusing trying to figure out what i needed to get to get the whole thing up and running. but its just as simple as picking a gauge style, and a sensor moduel, and your off to the races.



I quicky unpacked one of the gauge kits, and the AIT sensor; seeing that that sensor will be able to actualy work without being hooked up to the car. Found a gell cell 12v batt layin around, and set everything up on the kitchen table.









With just a basic setup i had the thing workin away. Theres lots of menus and stuff to fine tune the gauges to your liking. I just quickly found a basic display style to try out. They have all the custom downloadable gauge styles on the PLX site, and once i get some time, ill make up some custom crossfire matching gauge faces to upload.

As you can see below, the house was 21-22 right on.. I held the sensor in my hand and it quickly shot up to 28-30ish, and went back down. Its not the fastest reaction time that i would of expected, but im sure thats just a limitation of the sensor itself (satinless housing.. thermal conductivity speed, etc.) but it will be more then enough for what i want to do with it. 2-3 sec reaction time is good for me.

You can tinker with the gauge colours right through the menus as well.




Overall, I cant wait to start workin on the pillar pod, and get these things hooked up.. But im gonna have to wait till spring its gonna be one heck of a busy spring!. SC pulley, intercooler, wavetrac, gauges.. tig weld exhaust bung.., and radio. woo!
