Nice gauges dude.
Quote from Darrell Vittone last Monday... "We sold a bunch of those gauges. Heaven knows why, they were all crap!".
That's interesting Keith, because when I had my gauges worked on, Anaheim Speedometer told me they were easy , as they were all done with VDO components. They also added that they had worked on a number of sets of the Nippon EMPI gauges and found all of them to be constructed with VDO components.
Maybe Darrell didn't like EMPI stuff – perhaps he was more of a Racetrim guy
All I can assume is that, him being a racer and all, he wasn't into the 'gauge package' deals. But that's what he told me, anyway.
It's almost certainly on 'tape' as I recorded the conversation!
Well Keith, it's not as if ANY of us would ever doubt YOUR word, would we?
Have a nice day.

Keith, I would say that either qualifies you as a naysayer or a foster child Missourian.

A few years ago I bought a DDS breather box. (pictured).
Just recently the person I bought it from contacted me and said he had found the rest of the pieces that came with the kit including the original box !
They just arrived.

A very nice piece Richard. Will you put it to use or place it in a display case?

Not in the mail. My good friend Ricky M. stopped by for a visit and dropped off these Pirelli P6 195/65 tires. Only slightly used...

Yes, but they are Michelins. I believe the Perellis have firmer side walls than the Michelins. I like the size. I am not a big fan of over tall or fat tires although I am probably in the minority. When I first put the car together I had 185/70s but have been unable to locate any at a decent price.

You can get Vredestein's at a reasonable price (also matching 155's), but they look like they came off a tractor.

I have 155/80 R15 and 185/80 R15 Veredesteins... shold look ok
they are waiting for Mahles to be finished.
155/80 R15 doesn't look good with 195/65 R15. had taht combo and it looks like the rear tires are smaller than fronts (which isn't true in mathematicks point of view)
195/65 look good with samll 145/65 (had this option also).
