Tacho came from ebay, cost about a tenner, but its broken, sitting on my desk, they are sending me a replacement. If it works ill recomend it, if not, dont waste your money.

Grille is a proper nissan one, I thought it would be a knock off for 99p :p

Here are a couple of Xmas Updates

SatNav, plugged into my half working lighter socket, which ive hidden behind the ashtray.

Tacho, sent me a new one from ebay, it works this time, but its still a bit anoying, as it makes a rattleing sound, see videos, if they ever upload.

Sub Box, a mate of mine didnt want his sub anymore, shame the speaker was bust :( and the box has been with some cats, so it needs new fabric, but its smaller than my current one, so I can reclaim some boot space, which is all good!

Videos - I was trying to show my Tacho working, and show my ICE, but the combination of driving, music and holding a camera is beyond me :p

I started using just a basic hacksaw, but im tempted to use a angle grinder, just for speed. Fiberglassing im hoping to do at work, but my lunch is currently taken up by eating, so I might have to do it at home :p I think I finish early, so I shall give it a bash and post some results
