GOD DAMN it took a whole lot of swearin to get these in, and i broke a bunch of stuff (my turn signals dont work any more!). But i'm very please with the results:



(a view of the general cockpit area)

 

Here is the brightness adjust for the gauges. They send a universal adjuster, that says "blue" to one side and "green" to the other, the only dif i can tell is the green is actually a little more deep blue.... beats me!!!

The pic:

 

get a pic of them at night lit up. I bet its sweet.

 

Her you can really see the silverish nature of the gauge faces.

These things are awesome.

 

Sweet...yeah, gotta see at night.

 

Heres a photo of the indiglow numbers:

 

So you didn't paint the needles. I told ya it needed it.!!
anywayz, it looks good.

Nice to know the button fits in the little blank. Kewl..

 

whats up man, I was just wondering what year that your car is and where you got the kit, and if it would work in a 79 roxy? thanks man

 

You can see everything a lot clearer at night, too.

No, didnt paint the needles, i feared i wouldnt be able to see through them.

The button does fit perfectly the the blank, BUT, the metal piece that it is attached to was a bitch to get situated like that. It comes w/ a flat piece on top, to screw into something, so i had to cut out the top of the metal hole to get it to sink in flush w/ the thing. blah it makes no sense. you'll see when you do it.

Zach, i got them from http://www.streetracerparts.com

Its in an 85 gsl-se, i dont know if they make them for 79';s yet or not. Jose Reyes makes white ones which you may like, at http://www.rotaryrx7.com

Peace

looks sweet man, thats an appearance mod im willing to do. howd you break your turn signals? so the rest of us dont do it too hehe. anyways if you need a new stalk cause you crushed part of it i may have an extra i could get rid of if you want it.

 

I think i just leaned on it wrong or something. I dont ever remember breaking it, until i put stuff back together, then it doesnt work. i was like, ****.

I also broke the heater **** on the center console, it got caught under the e-brake handle dont ask me how. Well it was night and i let the ebrake down and hear this loud crack. iw as like, ****, what did i break now!?!?

lol

Yeah i do need a new lever. If you can figure out how to get the ****** out, i couldnt.

peace

geoff

 

well i tried pullin the stalk outta one of my parts cars and it broke on the way out. but if someone knows the trick to it i'll pull the one outta my other parts car and see if i can not break it this time

 

You have to take the wheel off then take the whole little assembly out. This is to get the signal lever out.

 

well of course i know that much, but is there a clip or something im missing because the stupid thing just snapped on the back piece when i slid it off

 

I forget I'll look at my old assembly tomrrow and let you know if no one has told you how by then.

 

I have ***** if you need those too IoTUs .

Looks nice Geoff . bout time! j/k.......Hey werent the needles backlit originally?

 

I think thats the circuit board he broke .

~T.J.

 

Also what pedals are those and do you like them? I found a set for my fc now i just need the ones for the fb and ill be set.

 

hey all 83 and less guys, you should all pre-order so that they will make them for our cars. I know I would love a set ok those for my lil beast.

 

I carry the 84-85 versions on my website, and will put in an order for the earlier versions if I get enough requests

You went and forgot to line up the steering wheel with the turn signals ***** huh?
Chock one up to experience. (I've learned the hard way too).


Looks good.

 

They are "Niken" pedals, however, when i bought them the brand name they said in the magazine was "Autotechnica".

I got them out of JC Whitney "Sport Compact" magazine.

You can position them anywhere you want over the stock pedals, and so i put my gas and brake really close (so close i sometimes catch myself pushing both down on accident, so i have to pay attention to what i'm doing), but they are some of the best pedals i've ever used for Heel-Toe shifting. (not that i've used many, hehe)

Peace,
Geoff

 

Good work, Geoff

I'm not crazy about pedal covers (personally I rank them just barely under cell phones, intoxication, and sexy girls walking past as drivers' safety hazards) but I know how frustrating dash work can be and I'm glad to see yours worked out nicely

 

hey now dont knock em, pedal covers bought with heel toe in mind are a good thing. unless of course they light up....
anyone know where i can get a simple set of stamped aluminum ones that i can drill and mount on the pdeals instead of those damn clamp ons?
