If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I suspect the unit uses a magnetic pulse counter or proximity sensor to work out speed. You can mount them on a driveshaft or something similar, as long as you know what pulse ratio etc to put in there (for example 1 pulse for every turn of the rear wheel with a certain wheel circumference).
There's a few of these things out on the market now.... not sure on that one but the cheapest I've seen in the UK is about ?70 ($110). Not sure it comes with all the idiot lights like that one though!
Looking forward to following this project...
Yeah -- the Acewell is little over $100, and is really reasonable when you consider how expensive custom gauges are. Not to mention, they are pretty cool looking and relatively complete in terms of everything they can do -- I love the digital display. Also, Acewell brags on their site about how durable their stuff is -- they are supposed to be extremely waterproof and vibration resistant.

Just google Acewell and you'll find them -- they are cheap and since they are primarily used for quads and dirtbikes -- they seem like they'd be reliable.

It was probably the Fire Aero or the Trimagnum (pretty much the same car) -- one of the most popular RT kits ever sold. It used a VW front end, and an AIR COOLED shaft driven motor. Here's a pic of one:

It is called the Tri Magnum, and I have been planning on building one starting in the spring with Leons Contribution of the powerplant.
Been waiting since 1983 it was featured in Mechanix Ill.
The original used a KZ900
