i never bothered to try to figure out how to get it to stop spining...

you could always have it spin with the tac. so that one corner has an extension that points to the rpms... kinda a chezze idea, i know....

That would be very nice, without being rice.
HEY, THEY RESPONDED TO MY EMAIL!!
What do to Next?


Hi, Alex R,

We have not the EL Gauge of 84 RX-7, and we must need a instrument cluster to manufacture. Could you advise what quantity you need? If you need only one set, I think it is not to your profit.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Do you make EL Gauges/Indiglo for the 1984/85 Mazda RX-7?

If not, what about custom made, with an instrument cluster sent sent to you?

There is a HIGH demand for these in the states.

Thanks

Alex R

Perhaps this could be the source of blank E-L pads for V8kilr so he can overlay his art on top of them. As a bonus, I'll bet they're already set up for 12V so no step down monkey biz would be necessary...hop to it, maihn!

already looked into it,
the kit for enough el to do your own gauges is $100.00
then you need a converter to convert your 12 to ???a.c.?

by the time its done your looking at around $200.00

also i couldnt overlay my work,
theres alot more into it,
i found a complete site on how to make them,

it consists of making 3 templates on clear sheets of printable material,
so i would have to redesign my whole setup,

the only reason im selling mine so cheap is because i already have the templates ready to go,

also i worked all day and have the gauges ready for show,
i have to scan them in so i'll do it tommorrow,

i will just start a whole new thread.

i have 8 sets to upload,
hope you guys like them,
also remember that all colors you see on the faces are changable to any color you would like.

until tommorow

well heres the newest scoop,
i'm up to $550.00
i am going to pay of some of my tickets today and tommorow,
then go to the courts and try to plee with the judge,
I think i have a chance because out off all the parking and expired tabs tickets i have recently recieved 99% of them are from the same cop!!!!!

the biggest bullshit is,
after thinking about it,a couple of the days i got parking tickets,My girlfriend,My brother in Law,and my neighbor all did not recieve tickets!!!!!

So im gonna pay off the oldest tickets,try to get insurance with a suspendid license,
then try to get tabs with a suspendid license,
It's tricky to do but can be done.

then I will plee with the judg on all the newest tickets "about 10 in less then 2 weeks time"
and hopefully he will drop some of them,the police officer will be present,so i hope he looks like a total ******* for making his quota on one person.

Wish me luck

hopefully tommorow i will have the cluster so i can get crackin on it,

heres the update on me,

paid two big tickets,
got insurance "woohoo it was hard to get with a suspendid license"
got new tabs
got a parking permit "no more tickets"



still on the list before i go to kentucky

pay off rest of tickets "must wait for court date to plea with judge $300.00-$600.00"
get license back "about $50.00-$75.00 depending on how may suspensions im paying off"
get exhaust put on "$75.00-$100.00 should do it"
finish wiring rear half of my car "free i have all the stuff"
new spark plugs "$25.00"
get msd wires "$50.00"
reprime the beast in black "$20.00 should do it"
ship out some goods "$175.00"
fund trip "$100.00 should work"


I think that is everything
so im looking at $795.00-$1,145.00

already spent "$775.00"
