Wow man, you have a seriously low mileage 7 ;)
I think you have to import your gas now too. They don't sell liters here. Sorry :( |
I wounder if the temp gauge is weighted like the stock one.
|
by the way, does anyone know why my oil warning lamp is always on now, i plug my stock cluster in and it reads normal oil psi, if no one has an answer i think ill find out what the nominal operating range for the oil psi is, find out the corresponding resistance and add a resistor of that value in the circuit and run an aftermarket oil psi gauge, that way i wont have to hear that damn buzzer and have that light always on, and still get my oils gauge.

Looks good...but I still don't think I'd ever get it...
2 things; 1. I like the factory red backlight more. 2. I would never like reading KM's...If they made this in MPH I would consider it. (Same reason I hate bar reading boost gauges as well as water temps in C.) I'm lazy and don't like converting in my head....I'm American danget! |
^I am SHOCKED that you are from Texas!

I love it! I am also considering this mod...
|
It is unique. Without a doubt.
I personally wouldn't get it because I don't have a blue car. :) I think this gauge cluster will go best with a Montego blue or even a Blue Mica car. km/h doesn't bother me because I'm in Canada. Everyone should be in metric! :) I don't like the font they chose nor the needles they used. I still prefer the stock gauge cluster. :cool: I wouldn't mind getting the 99spec gauge cluster. Have the needle start at the 6 o'clock position. Only thing wrong with that cluster is the speedo. Only goes as high as 180km/h. ;) |
Seems like a lot of money to spend on gauges so your dash can look different. I don't personally see why anyone would buy these. I think the red lights look better anyway. My .02 worth.

Looks awesome, I'm really liking the blue and the metric system :icon_tup:. I like having the clean look of the boost gage in the cluster, just like the 2nd gen TII's, but I don't suppose it's much good if you're running more than 10psi. But now with the temp gage gone I guess you'd still have to go with an aftermarket one outside the cluster somewhere. Anyways looks cool and thanks for the night shots (get some blue led's behind there) |
Looks good. This is the first time ive seen them in blue. Gotta love that "vertical" tach.
|
Im thinking of replacing the lights in the back of the cluster with super white LED's or maybe a color, someone said something about blue LED's i might do that maybe ill get both and see how they look, since the stock lighting is still pretty dim even with the rheostat turned all the way up.
|
red even?
|
i like em at night.. not a huge fan of em during the day though

i was thinking about bright white backlighting because i want to get this aftermarket gauge for my oil psi gauge.
|
That's soooo nice. For a Canadian who uses those evil "litres" and "km/h", that's an awesome gauge cluster.
|
i've noticed that the rpm gauge reads up tio 10 000. i have a 93' model tht only reads until 9000. why is this? sorry for my ignorance........i'm new here.

dam, those are SICK!
