That is the development car for Stage 5. Colin from PES will have to answer the exact gauges but they did the work. I believe there are 2 exhuast gas gauges, 1 turbo boost guage but not sure about the others. The custom made button is for max boost!

 

I think I might be going stage 5 soon (only drove IA600 for less than 300 miles!!) ....Wish I nevre bought the X50 and saved that 18K!!

 

Exactly what I have been saying from day one. X50 is a waste of money in my opinion. When for the same money aftermarket you can have so much more!

 

Ken, can you post the the pic with everyone at the table and point out who is who so we can put a face with the name!! Thanks

 

The gauge panel was custom fabricated out of carbon fiber.

Gauges include...
A "real" boost gauge
EGT (left and right bank)
Air/Fuel (left and right bank)
The button was hand fabricated from stainless with a red LED when pressed. It switches between low and high boost levels.

The gauges also have matching bulbs to the 996 dash.

Regards,
Tony

Buddy,
In case you haven't seen it, this is Gemballa's front bumper cover. Just another option for you if you don't want to mix and match.

 

I KNEW THAT WAS BUDDY G . I don't know why, but from the name I pictured you EXACTLY like you look!!! Hey man is that a Hublot watch?? I am crazy into watches and that one looks just like mine (except I have a blue face).
Regards,
Evan

 

Ken I still love that retro look hood Gemballa makes........ has anyone seen it in person???? Ken says the fit is less than great.

 

I'm taking it to Knopf in Allentown, PA tomorrow afternoon. I was initially hesitant to take it to a dealer bodyshop but two things helped sway me: 1) They very agreeably let me observe their work as well as let me contact customers who've had similar work donw and 2) Loren spoke highly of them. Also helps that it's closest.

Everybody was helpful with recommendations (only 1 turned up a bad review in a search). I appreciate the assistance.

Next meet, I'll be back in shape.

 

Good to hear...... not only did you kiss the rail but did it in front of the Mrs................................. Glad your ready to get back on the horse, next time lets try for dry roads with no leaves.

 

Leaves? Nah, magnetic guardrails.

 

Not only did I try to smoosh the wife on the guard rail... she wasn't even p'ed off about it. She didn't get mad about the 150mph, and is looking forward to next time!

I'll stick with Kenn's magnetic guardrails. It's far more plausible than entering the turn too hot and too late.

 

Mark,
She sounds awesome! A definite keeper!!

 

Amazing pictures Ken!- I hope to meet all of you very soon!

BuddyG - you rock man!
