cs_rich's Fiesta ST3

I was, but now I'm looking on eBay for a pre-Brilloed binacle. I wouldn't want to try it myself and make a mess of things.

Think of the money you could save on mind altering drugs by simply trying to check your speed and revs 🤣

True ST drivers are sat too low in the seat to be able to see the gauges.

Manage to fit it only breaking one interior trim tab:

Lots of different display options, some much more gimmicky than others, but there's some useful stuff in there. Even just having a live view of EGT, IAT and water temperature should give me some confidence that everything's within reasonable limits.

Interesting to see from the photo that the car's coolant sensor is showing four bars / halfway which is as high as it ever gets, all while the actual ECT reading on the Lufi is still only 50°C.

Does that box record speed etc? just wondering if you got pulled over could the police look at the history and use it against you?

I washed my first car (1.2 Clio) with a brillo pad.


As I was doing it, I did wonder why all the marks I hadnt previously been able to get off were coming off so easily.


Fun times.

I'm starting to understand why your old man won't let you run the family business.

All I can say is, ive come a long way 🤣

I also omit that detail when people drop off their 100k motors for me to detail....naturally....

Possibly, not sure. IIRC you can query high / low readings but not sure what sensors that's limited to.

That said, I'm not sure how useful that would be as it doesn't really prove anything other than OBD2 reported a certain speed at some unknown time in the past. Could have been on a private road, on a rolling road, up on jacks, different driver, could even be a factory test value that I've never been in to reset etc. etc.

AIUI for anything like that to be useful the speed has to be definitively tied to a location and a date / time. Happy to be corrected though.
