I have thought about doing the same thing with my dash and think that I may have the courage to try it now. Your setup looks awsome (so does Max Coopers) . Thanks for the great writeup as well.

Originally posted by areXseven 310 rwhp,...not a bad number to start with!! Imagine what a good cam and some fabricated headers will do?? In other words, the cam and the heads might be fighting each other instead of working together, hence the lowish number. I'll expect a pretty big jump with the new CAI and tuning. I'm not going to guess how much I should see, but I won't be surprised to see 50-100hp gains. The tuning and the previous CAI setup are that poor. |

wingsfan if the backlighting bothers you it can easily be fixed. Tie the lights to the two Defi gauges together and put a rheostat between them and the power source, then you can dial them down to the same brightness as the rest. Once settled on that you could easily remove the rheostat and substitute with a resistor(s) to the Defi gauge lights if you wanted.
Looks nice. |

Looks good, I was considering something like that for my FD (since I would have to some how get those stock Mazda senders into the chevy block also, and track down the wires) How much larger in diameter are the defi than the stock gauges? Is there any chance they could fit behind the bevel if the cover of the gauge is removed?

Thanks Max. Your setup is one of the one's I had in mind when I started, but I couldn't remember your username. I guess I could have used the search function. :doh:
