who's got one of these Vapor thingys?

Seems a good deal, don't much like the look of it though, and i've already got holes cut in a proper carbon dash (2nd hand, from one of the racing trucks)

am i missing something? is there any expensive stuff it needs before it'll work?

I'd rather have proper round gauges, but this does the job of many, and cheaper than 1 speedo...

Think it's a good unit & brilliant price, only shortcoming I'm aware of is that it has no fuel gauge. There is a surround for it for about £25 which has all the warning lights in it.





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

yeah, i'm thinking about it really only for the speedo... my carbon dash already has 5 warning light holes, 2x52mm, & 1x80mm holes cut, plus a few for switches etc.

is it illuminated? it has to be for SVA doesn't it? says its E marked though...

They look good but my only problem is that my engine for examole will only rev to 6500 so it might look a bit strange when the revs on the vapor go up to 12000





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Hi i got one,

It has a perm 12v supply from battery which goes off after 20mins i think that lights it up blue, or you can just run it with the self contained battery in the unit, which then has a very dim back light,

Using also just for speedo only but has a rev counter abd shift light incoparated and temp guage,

How do you set up the correct Miles Per Hour and how is it adjusted?

Mine is a little troublesome, the speedo is accurate enough for the SVA but the rev counter can't keep up with demand and the temperature gauge needs resetting every trip. I'm not sure I would buy another
