got a dry kit today and i need a switch panel that will control activation, bottle warmer, and purge. anybody find a good panel that fits well in the 99-04? I found a nice steeda one that fits in the ashtray, but its $100.00. I've done a little research but havent found much.

any suggestions?

This one's popular.

See it here.

Nice, but it costs about the same.

I like Timbers. You could get a cup holder delete on ebay and no one would know it was there until it was too late.

I said it was popular, but that's not what I have.

Darren at www.12voltguy.com made this one for me custom.



Blue LED's... Kewl...

OK Maybe I should have said, I like Timbers idea. Your switches are nice too. Yours was custom made though, wasn't it?

You don't like mine?

[neckbonekat]

Yes Timber I do like yours, but it's easier to hustle sombody that can't see the switches.

Just funnin with you, NBK. I appreciate the stealth approach as much as anyone. I'll be hiding mine with TINT!

I see. Maybe earn some mod money on the weekends?

No, done that before. People don't pay.

That's why you bring friends. Big ones!

Last time was among friends, against a friend. I won the $200 and he didn't pay.

Forgot to mention, that was a go-cart race. He had a new $2000 150cc go-cart (dune buggy!) that I spanked with a home built job with the engine worked over by David Ables at daremotorsports.com. I had my kids cart engine worked over with head work, cam, header, governor turned way the hell up, timing adjusted, etc. Smoked that joke but the dude came to collect, not pay. Turned out he didn't even have the money on him.

But my sons got a 50+ mph go cart out of the bet.

Well it wasn't a complete loss. LOL

Not by a sight. That was a cool project. A coworker brought me a go-cart with a blown engine that his neighbors had pushed to the street 'as dead' for the city to haul away. One friend helped me get the frame right then another painted it at his body shop with PPG paint. I ordered a new 6.5 Tecumseh from smallenginewarehouse.com for $199 shipped. Painted the rims, put new tires on and it flew.

Then the friendly betting started. All I really wanted was a header for the kart because I wanted one on mine when I was a kid. Then I found David's website and his hop-up kit was only $145 for all the stuff I mentioned before so I shipped it to him and had it done. I put on new 3-point seat belts I got off ebay... Frankencart sits next to my boat in the carport.

So I'm living my second childhood through my kids, doing all the shit I wanted when I was their age.

First incarnation, before the engine hop-up + header, and the wider front tires on it now. After all that, I still only have about $600 in it and it flies!

It's not in yet. It was custom made to fit to the left of the 12 volt accessory plug in front of the shifter.

I'll be sure to put some pics up when it's in the car.

Sounds like you know Darren. I'll be emailing him from now on anytime I need a switch panel. He's a class act and his prices can't be beat.

So if you were driving down the street and a LS1 pulled up next to you how long would it take for you to be able to get it armed and heated to where you could use it? I mean is this thing good for on the fly use? I know little about nitrous systems. Is it just as simple as flipping one switch then the other?

Two seconds to open the bottle then flip the "ARM" switch on. I don't have a bottle warmer. Not as quick into action as a SC but, hey, there's got to be a catch when you spend $600 instead of $3000 or whatever.

[neckbonekat]

Well that's not bad. I was thinking you had to arm it and heat it ahaead of time. 2 seconds isn't bad at all.
