    ^ lol rThor432... we know that already but we're looking for cheaper/easier alternatives than tapping the head or buying an adapter, that would read highly accurate.

            Riiiiiiight. Who wouldve thought that when you were trying to use the ECU sender as the gauge sender, you were actually trying to avoid tapping the head. I'm deleting my posts as I dont wish to be part of this douchebag's thread.


            And since youve done it so many times, you obviously didnt learn the concept in school. Its 'you're' not 'your'. And 'die' not 'dye'.

            As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
            You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

              Well over $500, buddy. Good luck on the swap, don't let the car fall on you, you'd be missed greatly!

                1) This isn't a grammar contest

                2) Die = death ; Dye = rethreading tool

                3) If you were giving me constructive criticism than you should have refrained from using "stop being a cheap ass" phrase.

                4) I apologize for not seeing the good out of your comment but you have to see you came at me at the wrong angle therefore I give as I receive.

                5) I was calling Kilo an ignorant moron, not you.

                With everything aside, is it even possible using a 12x1.5 dye on a 14x1.5 thread? Wouldn't that need a lot of force to get it even just to start? And would you need to shave the 14mm down to size to get the 12x1.5 dye to fit on it?

                      Dye = something Jahntard ate a little too much of.

                        From where I've gotten my tools from AAA Tools which carry practically everything and is a local small shop that's been around for a long time they go by dye.

                          Very legit looking site. I'm guessing some fail ass high school teacher wrote it.

                            Based on more research it seems that Die should be the right one. Don't know why my local store spells it as Dye and why other sites use Dye.

                              While it is die (my dad was a machinist for almost 20 years), I dont see the need for this back and forth and constant attacking of each other.

                              I know this is r3v, but seriously guys, chill the fuck out.
