Dang, I missed out! I asked you back when you had your first one made if you'd build me one. Guess I should have paid closer attention to the forums! I want in on the next group buy!

Alternatively, if anyone who bought one decides they can part with it I will take it!!

Frank, you don't REALLY need TWO of them do you???

Jarrod,

I only have two gauges ordered and I have three turbo cars. We may be able to make a deal if there is going to be a second group buy.

You know, now that I think about it, you would be better off racing on 100 octane than E-85, so you don't really need one for the EVO. Save the corn, think about the poor corn! Dinosaurs are already dead!

Let me know. Even if I can borrow/rent it for a couple months - I have to get the car retuned the end of Feb. and I want to make sure I have true 85% ethanol, not 70% winter blend. . .

If I do ever get my own, I am going to make up a stand alone test apparatus that you plug into the cigarette lighter (or maybe just run off a 12V battery) so you can test the fuel BEFORE you put it in the vehicle.

I don't have a tracking number yet, so I can't give a day of arrival. But here is a pic of the displays being tested

The shop is in Serbia, so it may be cheaper for you to order it direct from them rather than having it shipped to the US, then paying shipping again to Sweden.

The shop is very easy to work with. Just send them a copy of the display stat sheet from the 1st page and tell them you would like to order one. . .

I bought one new on eBay for ~$375. Retail is $450-$550.

You may be able to source one from a wrecked GM vehicle at the junk yard. There is a list here somewhere of all the vehicles they are used on . . .

Does it have to be from a GM or will a Ford work as well?
