i was thinking about this last year. wondering where and how i was gonna put my gauges. i realised that if you mount them in the center console in the second din spot they usually face straight back. so i made this, the gauges are tilted towards the driver and the surrounds are rotor shaped.

 

Is that amber lens a monster shift light? Hard to miss...

 

Pro Form shift light

 

To see mine Click here. The car was in the October 2004 issue of RX Tuner.

Two on the A pillar, and the SAFC where the ash tray was:




And a close up of how I mounted the SAFC.

 

ill have more as soon as my damn gauges get here

 

schweed, thanx. Gives me some more ideas. mo?

 

 

i guess it's a knockoff of some sort. i got on ebay. it holds me really good. i got a few more pics of them:

 

old setup
dash, gauges, a-pillar & AFC

 

T2 seats ftw!!

 

haha thanks I try really hard to keep it clean...and the lv wallet haha I always get clowned cuz evenrone thinks it fake....but its not my girl got it for me in vegas in the lv store and I was standing right next to her. The hole at the top came with the car, I'm assuming that there were tweeters in ther but that car is totaled gotta get a new one

 

are you parting out ...oh yeah sorry about your loss.

 

Heres how I have my boost gauge and Turbo timer

 

I have a set of seats that looks like that. The question is, how do you install it into the RX7??? Do you do some modification.

 

not really - i used the stock seat rails but you have to drill holes in them to match the holes to the seat. the drivers side fit perfectly cuz th width of the seat rails for boh seats matched. the passenger side on the otherhand - that you're gonna need to a metal plate or something and attatch that to the left side of the seat (transmission hub) if you do that you wont be able to slde the seat. but other than that, it's pretty straight forward

 

what kind of door panelling is that? the fabric looks brand new?

 

is there any way to get something that will look almost exactly like this but blue?
the silver/blue glow stuff i cant deal w/ all the white contrast when i'm going for a darker cockpit

 

I havent seen anything in other colors besides the white faced guages. His is stock, just messed with the exposure time.

 

yeh are the plastic inserts stock too? all the pics look a fair bit cleaner/transparent than mine lol

i want to figure out how to make some simple parts myself assuming such a thing could be done with some kind of carbon polymer rapid prototyping machine or something else thats hooked up to CAD software that i could use at University or something but i dunno i can barely change my transmission fluid w/o breaking everything heh

 

I've heard from a friend that u can take the gauges out and just scrape(clean) the orange off. I don't Know for sure how that works but he told me all u have to do is take the orange off and switch to whatever color u want. In ur case blue.

 

 

I keep it plan and simple..the real magic is under the hood.

 

leet thnx! i'll look into that. think i already broke every fastener on the console mount when i tried to check my wiper switch so i doubt i can mess anything up more than it is spedometer hasn't worked in a year either lol. freakin cable snapped right off and i haven't been able to figure out what it's called to buy another one to fix it.

 

yep what i did was i bought the silver and blue and made my own overlay and then installed it like you normaly would.

i would go with scraping off all the orange unless you are bored and have alot of time on your hands. its a bitch to be honest. ive tried it and its way to much time. IMHO
