Where would be the best place to hook up a 12V source and a ground around the dash board. So that the gauges will turn on when the parking/head lights are turned on?

Why don't you try, running the wires from the stereo. I would help except I don't what kind of car it is and what's the colour code on it.

Stero wire is no good because that on all the time. You want to hook up the indiglos to the parking lamp line. That's what all of us did did on our Camry indiglos.

is this replacing your oem dash gauges? cuz wouldn't it just fit in? guess its not... why dno't you try tapping into the oem power grid from the cluster? or fiding the wire into the actual knob thinggy that makes interior lights brighter or dimmer? its just basically a resistor, and there would have to be one wire connected to it that is at a fixed voltage, unless you want it to dim as well... it wouldn't be that hard to find something tho.. just use a multimeter and start testing.. or get a chilton/haynes

SpectraBlueCam,
I wanted to ask you now that I looked at your awsome car's pictures..
Is your pflow pipe custom made or did you buy it somewhere! It looks like it could fit on my car no problem.. I really would appreciate some info cause my K&N filter is right on the soft pipe coming out of the injector!!

Respect Xenon

Thanks for the props Xenon.

Wait till you see my interior pics. :grin:

As for the intake, it's a slice and dice job from a Civic intake produced by PRM, a Canadian Company in Barrie. http://www.prmracing.com

I've heard good and bad things about the intakes (the cone filter specifically) so proceed with caution. In any case, the intake pipe is silicon, which means it's light weight and more heat resistant than aluminum.

If you're looking for an intake system, you can always get a custom bent intake pipe.

I heard about your PRM filters before too,
They should be really good, obviously they suck air in allot more than all the other air filter because of their shape and the way they're mounted. That's not what I asked you though, on my Corolla, from the actual injector there's a soft rubber pipe coming out, connects to the actual platic tube that goes into the OEM filter box. I took the plastic pipe and the box out and mounted my air filter right on the soft rubber tube, it has support so it's holding the filter up, but the filter bounces because it's rubber.. Now, another problem I have is my air flow sensor that was mounted on the plastic factory pipe, it's just sitting in my engine bay! So, I want to make a custom pipe and cut a place to mount the sensor cause it's affecting my idle since it's getting hot air instead of cold..
pheeeeew! I hope somebody understood this!
So, I guess I should just go and buy a pipe from Crappy tire and do it my self ha?!

Respect
Xenon
