Just fitted a water temperature gauge and a vacuum level gauge into my car... Well, guess a lot of people INCLUDING the person selling the gauges don't know what it does... pengz....

Just some short intro to those who are interested in these gauges..

Water Temperature Gauge
Basically this is a 'thermometer' that measures the water (coolant) temperature inside the radiator. Typical temperature range should be around 80°C to 90°C. Sometimes under hard driving, traffic jams, it may reached 95°C

Vacuum Level Gauge
Well, this gauge sure requires some knowledge about it.. haha.. it basically measure the vacuum level inside the manifold. So why got vacuum inside car ? It is used to suck the fuel and air in. In short, higher vacuum = more air than fuel = fuel economy = (or what my bao bei-s says) a slower car. haha... Typical vacuum level reading of 14mmHg is a good one for fuel economy.. Under acceleration, range is around 5-10mmHg.

Fitting in the vacuum level gauge sure is good. Feel that I have understand my car better. From engine rev to change my gears to the sensititivity of my leg on the accelerator pedal and the working range of revolution on my car. Well crusing at 80km/h enables me to clock 20mmHg whereas drive at 100km/h, I can only clock 15mmHg. haha.. It is not always good to change to higher gear thinking that the engine revolution is lower hence burn less fuel. Why is that so? Because if the engine is not at its working revolutions.. It actually is wasting a lot of fuel because the fuel are not completely burned when the engine is not taking in enough air to complete the combustion.. well.. sound confusing right.. haha... I shall stop here le. haha..

Wondering what my next aim should be... Should it be:
(1) ADM Air Charger (For lots of power !! but at the expense of fuel economy) [$612]
(2) Superione ST555 (For fuel economy and some power gain) [$250]
(3) Iridium Spark Plug with Spark Booaster (For fuel economy and some power gain) [$220]
(4) 34 inch LCD tv [$800]
(5) Front under 4 point brace bar [$285]
(6) Rear anti-roll bar [$295]
(7) TTE exhaust muffler [$895]
(8) Lightened Crank pulley [$280]
(9) TOMS flywheel with clutch [$1,800]
(10) Q-shifter for manual [$520]
(11) Fog Light with HB4 HID conversion [$170 + $4?0]
(12) Front carbon fibre top strut bar [$180]
(13) Rear carbon fibre top strut bar [still looking]
(14) 4-1 Performance Extractor (Actually preferred 4-2-1 but don't have) [$180]
(15) Electro-luminscent Meters [$140]
(16) Lastly !!! Hydraulic Suspension !!! [$4-5k]
(17) Oh yah... forgot... Turbo Charger !!! [$6k]

It sure is addictive to type all these out. haha.. anyway.. most prob only doing item 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14... Shucks.... how come so many... Argh.... Let's try again... Will do item 3 follow by 2 then 1 enough le. haha.. Well... Maybe 1, 3, 2... haha... Nvm... haha...
