I have the cluster boxed, and I took the 85 MPH speedometer out of the other one, and took the face off, cause the #'s ARENT in the same spot:(. But I will ship them out on monday:D

your 80 gauge has the 140 speedo right?

79+80_rx-7 04-06-02 04:18 PM

No, my 80 has a 85 MPH speedometer. My 79 has a 140 MPH speedometer. I am sending the 79 cluster, and ALSO sending the guage face of the 85 MPH seepometer:D The #'s DO NOT line up with each other, on the speedometer:( so there would have to be 2 seperate speedometer, for each year(79/80) Thats all:D

THANX LATERZ, Andrew

About those glow in the dark gauges, that would work really well if you could manage to get a black light of some sort behind there. Then it would glow all the time. They also sell powders that can be put in paint that don't look any different in normal light, but when black light hits them, they glow brightly in whichever color you ordered. That may look pretty cool, or pretty crappy, I guess you would have to see one first.

V8kilr 04-07-02 11:10 AM

last time i checked the soloution i have does not alter the color of the gauge faces as well,

just at night they glow,

unfortunatly you need light for them to glow of course,

which means they will only glow for a little while after it gets dark,

but it works really good for driving in tunnels and such when going from direct daylight to darkness,

and i also thought about the black light last time i did a set and you would need to light them from the front.

so if im correct i should have all the gauges i need to finish up the 1st gen templates on monday,
right fellas?

Wattz 04-07-02 09:15 PM

So if I photoshop these up with whatever I want, would you make them for me? Is it $40?

if you photoshop them i can do my best to recreate what you create,
but i cant use your photoshop pics of the actual gauge faces.

please make them kinda how you want them,
just chop em up real quick,

upload them,
give me any images you used on them "such as images like i put in the center of the tach"
sign over your soul "just kidding"

then i will recreate them in high resoloution with my templates and show you the final product,p.m. with any more questions or with your images

V8kilr 04-08-02 12:53 AM

ok i finally got around to get some night time pictures,
these pics were taken in my basment with all the lights off,
the room was completely dark,
i know the pictures are very blurry cause my digi sucks,
but the photos should still give you an idea of what mine look like at night.

And they should get there tomarrow morning.... And have postage for the way back.......The ladie said, that you will have to get it STAMPED, or it will not mail..... So STAMP IT(get a clerk there to pull ther stamper out, and put on on it)........ LATERZ. Andrew


No I am broke, 36 for shipping, and 1 for a soda......

V8kilr 04-13-02 03:14 PM

heres the newest update on all the gauge faces,
after i make these last templates i am forever ditching the templates to never again be seen,

I am currently saving for a $1,500.00 Printer,
if you can call it that
but relax this will take a while to make all new templates and do all the testing
i wont even have up the cash until around christmas
so they wont be available until next summer:(

the new sets will work just like the stock sets,
there will be reverse iniglo,silver faces to match autometer ultra lite's,white faces with black numbers that turn into black faces with white numbers,etc...

but please dont hold off on buying the gauges im currently offering because you will be waiting a long time to get the new ones.
the new ones will take three times as much testing and will probably costs twice as much:(

but they will be the best looking gauges you have ever seen for any 1st gen rx7:D
