    Default Bought any cool stuff recently?

    I picked up a Currie EZ Deflator from Wooders. It removes the valve core but lets you easily check the pressure at the same time as it retains the core for you. Neat piece of gear and now I can airdown each tyre in about 20 seconds and dont need to use the car key

    Here's a pic

    Looks cool, but letting down the tires is not the part that needs speeding up, its the pumping up. I know Wooders has got a solution for this too but I know its a lot more expensive than the EZ deflator. :cry:

    Antz, you obviously dont use your front door/car key to let them down

    Takes me a while to connect up the swaybar, have a wiz etc. By the time I'm done my little 31's are all aired up

    This isn't exactly what you'd call cool in the same way as some new toy. However it's cool solving a problem for $50 instead of $150-200 for a bought one.

    JayCar kit to correct my speedo.

    Let me know once wired if it adjusts your ECU (by checking the roof display fuel per 100km)

    Yep, will do. I know what you mean about hassle. Two hours of sifting through likes of wjjeeps.com and contradicting search results on U.S. forums... i nearly ditched the idea. Anyways, i found what i needed finally on JU in a thread from 2003!

    Doesn't work like that from what i read today. Also can depend on where you tap into the speed signal wire. Will explain in a new thread once i got it working.
