the claim finally got approved 2 weeks ago, and phil has deposited the cheque, so its ready to rock 'n roll. man, there are heaps of scratches on the 8

picked up bodykit last week as well , so it will be painted and fitted at the same time. now we just have to "play" with the pearl colour

im sure the DVD plays while the car is moving......(not supposed to ) didnt want to try that, cos you cant really see **** (out of the windscreen) when the screen is up

and i think the radio wont work if the screen is down..... tried the other day, didnt work :p

if you make a nice one like the feed version (over the centre display) I'll be interested.
the r-magic one is useless IMO it uses the uncomon in .au 52mm defi gauges and is behind the gear **** where you can't see them. You can find the 60mm ones for under $300 a gauge I've never come across the 52mm ones before.

for those that think defi are expensive buy one and you will realise they are good quality. all electronic, come with sensors and wiring (quality water resistant plugs where nessisary), mounting cup and they match the interior well. compaire that to the autometer range where you have to buy extras and have std light bulbs and fluro orange pointers that fade in the sun. you have to search hard for a full eletronic version and they are in stupid imperial measurements. having said that the new range of autometer gauges look cool and may be usefull at the track. but they had to copy and improve on the defi design.

Would an electronic version be of interest to you guys? If the gauges looked like the attached picture?

Looks great 8a8y8....thought of looking into it myself for a while there but got lazy! Any problems with look angle from the drivers seat? And a follow on from Wildcards question, have you set up surround sound in the system or is it just stereo?

no problems when the tv is down, but when it is up, it blocks the view.... i know you not supposed to have tv playing while driving, but this one has those fancy things and you can play with the settings and watch vcd/dvd with it :D
