I emailed them asking about a KM-dominant gauge and was subjected to an anti-Canadian blast. They're not getting a dime of my money.

 

The first version is MPH on top

I am sure that if this takes off a KM version will come.

I am canadian also, so Im an sure it is not personal.

Lets see what they look like and go from there.

With your stereo setup......this will be going in the right direction.

Jim

 

I am DEFINATELY interested.

That is exactly what I wanted to update my interior.
It will go well with my carbon fiber style interior and the Silver Autometer Ultra-Lites that I have placed in the dash, and The "A" Pillar Gauges.

I don't mind if they light up blue, as that was my original intention, but if they light up orange, that's fine as well.

Please keep us updated on this, as I will be bugging you about it.

Thanks!

 

Sign me up! Although some pictures WOULd be nice, i'm pretty sure i'm up for it right now!!!

if you get the pics then hook me up.

 

Where'd you get the A-Pillar from?

 

If you are asking me..

It's a 2nd Gen "A" Pillar with a total of 2 minutes heat gun action to make it fit right.

 

::grumble:: Why do the series 3 guys always get the good stuff? What about us poor suckers with the 85-mph speedo? I've always preferred the earlier gauge style with the bigger, central tacho than the later. To quote Rodney Dangerfield, "We just get no respect.."

once you get some good pics, i will most likely be in. i have been looking for some good gauges for a while now the only ones i found were these, http://www.rotaryrx7.com/clusters.htm they are alright, but i want to see these that you got.

 

i;'m interested but i want pics first.

My metric speedo has MPH that go a lot higher than 85 MPH. When did the double nickel law start in the US? Was it in the late 70's, early 80's when these cars were on the market there?

it started in '80 but i dont know when it ended. I do know however that my 85 goes up to 130, so it probably stoped in 83 or 84.

this link has a history of all the yearly changes for sa's and fb's

 

I know '81's and '82's all had the 85 mph speedo, and most '83's. Some '83's had a 130-mph speedo. I believe it was the Limited Edition. The '84's and '85's all had 140-mph speedos...

--Danny

 

My '81 had an 85mph speedo.
My '83 had a 130 mph speedo.
My 84's and 85's all had the 140mph speedos.

Now - back to the original Post of the thread..

What do I need to do to get the new Gauges?

Jim?

 

I got an E-mail from the company's business man today who wants to talk.....about the lay out.........I asked again if any photo's are ready yet............

I will speak to them tomorrow......

As soon as I have any info you will be the first to know....

Jim

 

If i can get red letter, i will take a set.

Go to their site and see what you think.......

The gauges will look silver...............the photo made them look grey......They said they came out great.....
So good they are producing them now and you can pre order them.........should be ready in 3 weeks......

They will have a booth at Sevenstock......
