Many thanks to Pete for taking on the group buy, especially with everything he has got going on at the moment !!!

Thanks to Sonic as well for rounding us up for group buy!

I've emailed Pete with my details, so the gauges shouldn't go to Gwent like my cambelt may have done!

I spoke to Peter yesterday and paid for my boost gauage and pod. He was sorting out the deliveries and said I should get them today.

I'll let you know if I receive them today and if I have any extra gauges or pods

If anyone sees a parcel force wagon driving around with a boost gauge and oil temp and oil pressure gauge let me know!

Yep - my gauges have gone walkabout!

Its not Petes fault as he faxed the details through to the supplier to ship direct but they have put the wrong address on - but no, not just the wrong address - the address is in Newcastle but it has a Wakefield postcode! Nice!

I hate couriers! Bringing back memories of once when i sent a customers dead hard drive (with no backup as it failed during the backup) off to the data recovery people and the courier lost it!! arghhhh! The best comment was - could you send another instead while we find this one! Bloody classic. They found it in the end though.

Ah well, 'hopefully' i may get them tomorrow, if they find them!!!

My gauges arrived today. Haven't looked at them yet.

Thanks Pete! If that's you taking your time, I'd love to see you when you're in a hurry. They'd probably have arrived the day before I'd ordered them!

I'll enjoy playing tonight

I've received some e-mails from Pete explaining the problem with the pods. The manufacturer ran out of materials with the influx from the Groupbuy. Pete told me my pod is being sent out today for delivery tomorrow - they're coming direct from the manufacturer.

Since Pete's moving house today/tomorrow he'll have no net access from tonight until next week, so it's best to call himm if you want anything sorted quickly.

Just like to thank Steve and Pete for sorting this out for us. Well done lads

Cheers,

Stefan

Well still no joy! Think my gauges have gone on the Autometer Tour of England 2003!

Apparantly they are on the right wagon (obviously not a scooby wagon) and should be delivered today but i dont believe them. In 6 years of been in the building weve never had a courier delivery past 2pm. Bloody ParcelFARCE!

Ill just be glad to get them for the xmas at this rate! This happens to me all the time! Nightmare.

Got my gauges too but no pod...... DOH!

Can't fit them yet anyway, got to get a custom pipe made for the oil pressure sender. Any ideas for suppliers of that?

Hope I get the pod tomorrow. Cheers Pete at J-spec and thanks again Sonic.

I'll take a piccy when they're in!

Does anyone know what postmen eat? He's startin to get hungry!

Ive found this site useful for fitting instructions http://www.chiark.com and click on the scooby heading.

On here there are also links to sites that provide bits of pipes etc which you may find handy.

It does however say on here that the autometer oil pressure sender is the wrong thread for the scooby!!!! Erm... anyone?

I think im going to fit the gauges and pod and boost pipe, but just run wires out for the other 2 and fit later when ive figured it out more! Dont want to take summat out that i cant refit and cause a leak! eek!

I haven't had a chance to look at the new ones yet, but when I fitted my boost gauge I rethreaded the Autometer fixing to work with the Impreza. I see no reason (yet) why it can't be done for the others...

Nic says that postmen obviously eat post. Therefore you should feed them unwanted junk mail.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the look of the Ultra-lite gauge. I think I prefer the Phantom with the white face

I don't think Pete would swap it as I've opened the shrink wrap at the back of the box

Would anyone be interested in buying it off me?

According to the Autometer website, the 4303 has silver face/silver bezel, but the 4404 has white face/silver bezel - bugger

Wonder if Pete will swap for a 4303? will phone him tomorrow to see.

I spoke to Pete about this today, as when I took the pod out of the box, I thought Nooooo horror it is jet black, and my dash is dark grey

However I went out to the car with said pod, and it is only a touch darker, virtually unnoticeable, it is slighty darker side by side to my 60mm pod, but probably a better match

and looking through the windscreen, it looked the same
