Just waiting on an Aeroforce and Oil Pressure Gauge. Then I'll be able to finish up - Besides fully installing the Wideband.

I use the radio fuse and the IGN fuse I think in the glove box, both are always on when the key in ON and with the car running.

I am using the Radio Fuse for my switched 12v source.

But I need a constant 12v source as well. These GlowShift gauges need a 12v constant for "Memory" for the back lighting.

I have no idea which Fuse in the Glove Box is a constant 12v source.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, She's Currently A Light Show.

I have a glowshift oil gauge thats kinda broke but the background color still works and its always blue when I turn the car on, I have not switched the color because I didnt really care but I am unsure if that is the default color. That gauge goes to the ign fuse.

Dan, just in case you still want a SLP Gen 1, this is the cheepest price I have found so far Pontiac Grand Prix Lip Mount Custom Style Spoiler (Large) 1997-2003 just like 90% of the stuff for our cars that spoiler is actually made by 1 company then resold by everyone else, 3800 Performance is the only company that has the rights to use the SLP name so all the other sites just call it either a factory large lip spoiler or just a large lip spoiler. Also there have been know issues with the spoilers fitting correctly, there is a thread on clubgp about it if you do a google search.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, She's Currently A Light Show.

Instead of running a constant 12v from the glovebox fuse, why not tap into the wire for the radio.
It has a 12v main for memory.

Got my Oil Pressure Gauge in the mail later today. Didn't want to wait to install it, I'm impatient.

Bought the Oil Filter Adapter Sandwich for easier installation. This was also a great time to do an oil change.

Oil Pressure Sensor:




Oil Change:


Gauges still need to be adjusted but all finished basically:






Just waiting on my Aeroforce to fill the other hole in HUD Pod. Should get in the mail tomorrow. I'll install that, and my gauge setup will be complete.

Mhmmm Mhmmm Mhmmmmmm so many lights.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, She's Currently A Light Show.

That is a Big'O pressure gauge, sir. You compensating for somethin???

Looks good tho.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, She's Currently A Light Show.

Well got my gauge's completely finished today.

So many lights. I love it. It's basically a space ship.



Now that's an expensive dual setup:


Driving View:


Well, it's not completely finished. Just need to re-do the power wire for the AF since I have to re-plug it back in every time I start the car. Also still need the bung welded for the WB. Other than that, it is complete.

Thats a very good price. Thanks for the find.

I was originally going to buy it from 3800 Performance because I heard that's the real SLP Gen 1 wing and actually fits perfects, unlike others from PFYC, or Ebay.

But with this price you found, I might not be able to pass up this deal.

are all those even necessary?

An aeroforce is absolutely necessary. I have this gauge to scan for KR.

A wideband is an awesome gauge to have when it comes to tuning. I have this gauge for future reference when ever my car gets retuned.

My oil pressure gauge, I have because not to long ago, I had a huge oil leak (Oil filter wasnt on properly, had two gaskets) and had no idea when pulling my car out of the garage. Car lost almost 3 quarts of oil in a matter of seconds. So I bought an Oil Pressure gauge b/c of that situation.

My volts gauge, I have because I'm running two large amps for my system and I am always tinkering with it with the car off, so it comes in very handy to keep an eye on my battery. Another reason I have this gauge is because my alternator died randomly, when I was on my way home from a vacation with my girlfriend. Left us stranded 3 hours away from any person in our family.

Finally, my boost gauge. I have a boost gauge because.... Well my car is boosted.

Thanks.
