    Erm ... why did you do that then Ian?

    Do you prefer to use Km/h rather than MPH?

    look at the fuel gauge!

    That is the natural state of a vr4 fuel gauge, the car always fighting to get back to that equilibrium state of empty.

    No fuel, No move.

    Bye for Now!

    I think people are getting confused by the order of the pics... the paper bit was in there before. Its now been removed.

    (Look at the photo times in the corners)

    You just need a converter chip - loads available from various sources. Here is one example:

    That's the dial from a Super VR-4. It was one of the purely cosmetic things that made a Super different from every other pre-facelift Type-S.
