Does this make me a bad person?

ProfessorDave · 07-21-2010, 10:23 PM

I like to get in the Z, start her up, and watch the gauges peg (or clear, i don't know what the PC term is). Then I call over friends, passersby, random people, and do it again. It's mesmerizing! Is anyone else obsessed with this feature? Is there a way to get even more gauges in the car to do this? Or should I be seeking a program to help me with this problem?

Yes you are a very bad person. Repeatidly cold starting you Z just to see you needles peg is horrible to the car.

Tuners like UpRev have full control over the gauge cluster.. and can do wacky stuff like use the TPMS light for shift lights, and basically anything you wanted to do with it..

I believe they were toying with the idea of a completely gauge driven method of installing the tune, no laptop needed, by hitting different pedals and getting responses from needles and things. LOL!

Every time I start my car and the gauges do that, I always think about the person on here who took a picture of the speedo at the 180 mark or something like that. LOL.. I don't even remember who did that but when I start my car, I think of that. Maybe I'll think of this thread now LOL
