      Sorry to side track you, do you have a part # for those H&R's? For some reason I never see the 'super sports' for sale anywhere.

          Did you get this from the guy in France? How was the install?

          I ordered one several years ago and plan to install it with my 2.7i engine swap.

            my videos dont do it justice, very hard to capture the real life experience, i think this youtuber does the best job, sounds like this:

                Yes from France via ebay, install was doable but painful, tight place to work

                I had to extend the wiring to the rear diff temp sensor, as it wasn't quite long enough for me and how i routed it, that was easy enough, and its the easiest sensor to route

                A couple of the temp sensors broke, cheap chinese knock offs, so i replaced them with Bosch

                For the oil pressure and temp sensors you'll need an adapter to connect to your factory oil dummy light sensor
                and the connecting clips on the wiring supplied to the back of the gauge pod are quite weak, chinese again, i bought some spares and had to replace a couple
                Fishing the wires through the engine fire wall and routing them up through the dash was a pain, and youll have to drill some holes in the plastic trim behind the vent gauges to get the wires up

                Instructions are a bit "light" and there's a bit of intuition and guess work involved
