Make gauges do test sweep?

As the car is pretty old, is this possible to do? At least on the electronic gauges, not on the speedometer of course.

I know newer Mazdas can do this with some fun in the ECU, activating the test mode for the gauges.

Except "Not POssible", I don't understand crap, but I guess that is enough ^^,

One more thing though, don't shoot me, I don't like the FDs, but there are many that replace the original gauges with aftermarket ones, is this ever done in the FC?

can't be done on either the FC or FD, as the gauges don't go thru the ecu, they are just wired directly to the sensors.

There are RARE aftermarket gauges from Japan floating around. They have the tach that goes up to 10k and a few extras. I believe there was one in the classifieds floating around not too long ago for around $400ish.
