Its the 7659 mate

So i’m trying under the difference between the two - does your one do 0-60 timer, 60-0 timer, 0-1/4 mile timer? i.e. £20 extra for 7859 only buys you the extra lap timer?

What’s the backlight like? I was slightly concerned it might be a little blinding

To be honest it sounds like you know more than me mate, havent bought if for timers like 0-60 or laps and if it turns out that it does do that then brilliant!

Too embroiled in function and IVA prep at the mo to get involved in the Gucci stuff

I've had the 7659 since 2011. It does 0-60, 1/4 mile etc. Timing transponder is extra for laps and I don't have this.

The back light is not too bright, but then mine is in centre of dash not dead ahead. Been very pleased with the unit (was only £150 at the time including sensors). I did add a second temp sensor for oil, but for me, the one thing missing is oil pressure. If it had that it would be perfect for this price segment.

Fair point! I haven’t heard someone use “Gucci” in ages

Yea, noticed that on the spec sheet. Did you add an additional oil pressure gauge?

I'll be adding a separate OP gauge later for sure

Over a week now since submitting my IVA application and heard zero from them? Can you call them to chase, anyone know what number if so?

Cheers

I wouldnt panic for a few more days . The Westfield lot are getting their calls within a couple of weeks. Dates arent that far away after, usually 3 to 4 weeks. Its a quiet time of year at the centres , so shouldnt take long. My IVA date was 3 weeks after the call.

Thanks mate

Got the Acewell temp sensor fitted with a junction I bought on the Bay, also bought a load of copper washers to seal the sensor...

Wish I'd sussed I'd need to do this before having the coolant all sorted and bled but hey ho...





A call to DVSA tomorrow to pay my IVA fees and it could actually be a March IVA which would be awesome as it will be just short of a year since I picked up the kit!....


PS. Ignore current Lambda wiring, Im not finished
