Yep, old autometer is still sitting in the A-pillar until my A/F gauge arrives

Chaosx1 04-29-05 11:09 PM

Awesome setup! I just ordered a set of Frank's 52mm Tri-Pod and bought the new Autometer Nexus Gauges. I got a 52 mm Boost/Vac gauge, 52 mm Water Temperature, and 52 mm Oil Temperature. I'll try and post pictures when they're installed. I hope it turns out as nice as yours!

Part II coming soon.... Defi D-series A/F gauge ;)

Questions and comments welcome :D

I love the look. I wonder if you tint the glass on the cluster what it will look like? That way when the car is off it will kind of match your Gauges. But then you would have to be driving with the lights on all the time. BTW is your car running higher temps than usual or mine run very cold? My Temp gauge is under the half hay all the time. But I notice your is past it. On all my pst FD I never seen one like that.

Hyperite 04-30-05 09:41 AM

I'm not going to tint the cluster plastic :) Like you said, I'd have to always have the lights on. And whatever, the water temp is like 210F in that pic. As for the stock gauge, it's not reliable and I probably put the needle back on slightly off-kimber when I was reassembling the gauges.

Railgun 04-30-05 09:48 AM

Heh...if you wanted to get really creative, you could tint the plastic and just wire it so only the cluster lights come on with ignition. :D

JaNusSolSumnus 04-30-05 09:49 AM

Hyperite, did you change the lighting behind the various buttons as well.. like the headlamp togle and the cruise? They seem significantly brighter.

Why yes I did, thank you for noticing :) I took off as many of the red/orange bulb covers behind the buttons as I could. They make the buttons look yellow now, but that's fine until I can pick up some tiny white leds. Same project for the climate controls.

i cant get the back to stay down for some reason. have you had this problem?

rotoboy661 04-30-05 10:45 AM

Flyrx7 04-30-05 11:08 AM

Mr. Frank Lee Junior. I am forever in his debt (just kidding, I paid him :bigthumb: ). Most of you know of his gauge pods. They resemble the intake manifold on a V6 and hold gauges where the center speaker was. Well, I asked him to do something he'd never done: Make me a quad gauge 60mm pod :eek: (old thread here).
He did it, it's beautiful. Here's the results.

Yep, pretty nice isn't it ;) Anyway, I decided on the Defi BF series gauges. Beautiful gauges, Defi accuracy, and a perfect fit for my new quad-60mm pod.

Wow, nice setup. But im pretty sure ive never seen that car out anywhere. and I live in BG. Do you ever take it out? race or whatever?

KINETIK_FD3S 04-30-05 05:03 PM

i tried to put LED's before when i saw that on the supra forum but i never thought of sanding the red film, props to you that looks very very clean. i have a extra cluster that i tinted but it was not that bright even with the LED's, again nice work.
