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

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.

It might have something to do with the fact that you don't have the oil pressure gauge hooked up anymore with the new cluster. You might have to search for your answer.

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!

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.

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.

It's unique and different that's why. I agree it's a lot of money but sure is nice!

Are you asking a question or making a statement?

Looks awesome, I'm really liking the blue and the metric system . 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)

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.

That's soooo nice. For a Canadian who uses those evil "litres" and "km/h", that's an awesome gauge cluster.
