I heard those clusters are hard to read in daylight,
and they'll look dated in your car (with your mods).

I vote for SunValier's idea

i'm sure he could find some way to get it updated so that it looks decently new, i mean look at all the stuff he does on his own anyway

Wow that looks a lot better then my 2.2 automatic gauges. I onl3 have 3. Like speed, gas, and heat hehe. Where can I get that? How hard would that be to hookup?

Wow that looks nice.

u can order all the guages u want from Autometer.com

as for hook up. i have no idea how hard some of it would be.

the oil pressure, volt, a/f, water temp, engine temp, ect. would be cake.

But the Speedo and Fuel gauge... i have no idea on how to hook those up.

Fuel is as simple as any other. The speedo is a little more difficult. You have too hook the VSS directly into the speedo. Not sure if you can still get the stock ECM too read correctly, but I don't have a stock ECM, so no problems.

Oh that isnt one like set of gauges? Like one complete kit? You bought them 1 by 1 and just made your own like setup. What do the LEDs do?

curtis, do you always drive 35 mph into your garage full of carpentry tools with no hands on the steering wheel? that seems kind of unsafe! *JBO

Yes, I bought them one by one and put the panel together myself.

Yep, left, right, high beam, and the red is the 2 stage boost control light.

Yea, I love the risk or ramming into a 1500 dollar table saw. It's just thrilling too know I'd do lots of damage too my car (probably not the saw, though).

Well..... Cost wise, I actually only bought the boost gauge and oil pressure myself, the others were all gifts at some point.

But... speedo was like 175.00, tach was like 90, and all the others were like 35-40 each. So, if I had bought all of them, around 450ish.

I had probably shut off the car while it was going through a gauge check or I might have taken that pic immediately after I installed them, so might have been in those positions previously.
