Good deal. i had a 99 spec platic for the gauges.
now with the wiring, how are you going to hook up you tach signal? |
I am going to use my signal from the pfc.

Almost done

The gauge dimmer came out good on that location.
just need to make the connection for the tach and program the gauges. |

Just pull the knob out. Its tight.

That white needle is captivating. :bigeyes: :shocking: :icon_tup:

Knowing myself, i would paint the nidle in black,. I would make sure it works after wired up. I think it will be difficult to see red nidle on red dial, at least for me.

Hey XxboostinxX, have you done your gauge calibration/programing? I follow the instruction and came out perfect. The tach reads exactly what the pfc displays. Im so happy to have tach and speedo...

how did you do it? What source did you use for the tach? |
I used the yellow and blue from the harness. That is the signal coming from my PFC and i used the resistor provided. I got the power from the cigarette lighter.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d2c107eb95.pngI found this on another forum. Perhaps it really is as simple as getting the 12v+ for the Speedhut dimmer switch from the 12v+ side of the dimmer switch? Then, adjust maximum brightness one time for the Speedhut gauges and then use factory from then on. At least, that is how I am interpreting it. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...08e8a7870.jpegHooray! https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ca05ce5a4.jpegI can contribute my lessons learned to this thread if that’s ok. |
Damn those are FIYAH!

All finished up and really happy with how they turned out. Definitely tough to see the needle on the tach when illuminated. Might just paint it black and call it a day. Now I just need to replace that steering wheel next.

I bet if you called speed-hut, they could send you a different needle. The gauges are easily disassembled and they calibrate on startup.
|
They look nice, and i can actually see the red numbers. Just paint that needle and done, it will look bad ass. I pulled my fuel pump hanger out and i calibrated that was. I think its reading fine.
|
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...bb26743ec.jpeg Ahh can’t wait to install mine! Thanks for the tips fellas. So we have to calibrate the fuel level sender? |
They look nice,. Yes, the gauge has to be wired, then follow the directions for empty and full position pograming. There is a video in youtube from speedhunt guys.
|
Bump. Any Rotary guys wire theirs up and have any tips? What are you guys doing for the oil pressure and Water Temp sensor location/wiring? |
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2e3feda5b.jpegEsser, Quick question: did you just leave the gap between the factory lens and the black support piece? I mounted the gauge buckets in the same way... but the lense will not sit down all the way. I am considering a different methods where the gauge bucket is mounted to the clear lens piece... but that would mean a much more significant level of fabrication. I already have to repair or trash this lens due to a slightly errant drill bit, so I may experiment. |
It shouldnt be that big of a gap, if you drilled and aligned the small studs of the speedhunt gauge correctly. Post a picture of the front. Did you use the speedhunt vessel?
|
I found the area of interference where the edge of a gauge bucket was not allowing the lens to sit as low as it could. I have clearanced it and it sits better. However, I still have a gap that is roughly equal to the thickness of the lip of the speedhut gauge bucket. Is this what you ended up with? I do not see any way, shy of something much more custom, to get it any better. the clear lens now sit flush to the 4.5" and 4" gauge bucket edge.
