steb9780 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 My turbo timer is just stuffed in the footwell cover by the accelerator pedal, which is a bit sh1t to say the least. So I was going to stick it underneath the dash where your knees are, but noticed it had been stuck there before. Only to have come off because the wiring was tight were it had been positioned previously. So I knocked a bit of something up at work to fasten it there. The HKS logo was a bit overkill as you won't see it. But I think it looks good for if I ever move it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See above I'm a machinist at BAE, but there's only so much of making aeroplanes a man can take. Car bits always look much better, and at least you get to see them in action.

peter richards Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 that looks like a bit of quality machining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steb9780 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Lovely, better than the thing it's to support Yeah to be honest Chris if it weren't already on the car when I got it, I'd never have one. I always prefer to sit in the car and let it run on for a minute. Well to be honest I just take it easy as well for the last few minutes of any journey And it's not like you leave your car running on the timer and walk off. I always tend to wait for it to turn off anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdavies Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Group buy lol - nice piece of kit Amigo. Definately over-engineered for its purpose, which makes it all the more cool IMO - and made by your own fair hands... so many bonus kudos points there I guess the materials would cost a little too much for general consumption to make an item like that worthwhile to manufacture?

Slightly over engineered yes But it's what we do.........lol No to be honest from going to the car to measure the timer to having it finished took just under 2 hours. So that included designing and writing programmes etc. Although the logo was extra as I had to measure up the logo from a magazine, and then re-scale it to fit.
