Good news about the dash, the voltage seems about right. I have the battery voltage displayed on my dash 2 display And that sits around the 14+ volt mark. Just keep an eye on it To make sure it isn't spiking whilst under acceleration.
As for my USA trip, 3 days gone 5 weeks left.
92 degrees in Georgia today, feels like walking on the sun After coming from Glasgow.
Still no word from RTR yet on IVA.

The fun came at a cost as I had to clean it be four I put it away. Also started some wee mod's like move vents on the engine cover Also Started to make a new center console (photo's to follow) Cheers Andy

Good job on the console Andy.
I now know who bought that reg, was thinking of getting the R20 MEV but decided against it since I'd spent a fortune building the car to get a new reg.

Hi All Made up this for the center Console in the Sonic. Now I need the weather so I can get it wired in. I will post a photo when it is fitted. If we ever get a dry day. Andy

Looks good Andy.
How was the wiring for those gauges, as easy as you thought?

Very nice ! well done. About your speed/rpm meter behind the steering wheel, is that easy to install ? My sonic know has the stock ford dashboard : Can I easily connect one of those digital speed meter ? And where can I find them ?

Hi Louis It's the Vapor Trail Tech (75-2010). I got it when I got the Kit from MEV. It was part of the Wiring Pack that I Ordered with the Kit. As for fitting it it was OK. Follow the Instructions and you can't go wrong. You do need to extend some of the wires. Where abouts are you in the world I see your steering wheel is on the wrong side. Cheers Andy

I'm from the Netherlands, the car has been build in the UK with the steering wheel on the right ( wrong ) side So I just need to extend some wires ? Maybe I buy one these Vapor Trail, on the other hand, within a few months my tablet will be my speedo meter
