installed a wink mirror. sorry for the dark picture. I'm modifying the brackets so i will still have sun visors, and to push the mirror as close to the windshield as possible. and i'm also modifying my extra rear view mirror by removing the mirror and mirror arm, and re-wiring the light to house a **** ton of bright LED's.

New clutch slave and master, braided line, and finally started getting the cluster back in after installing the white faces. Swapped out everything in the cluster to LED's, changed the turn signal indicators to blue to match the faces, and added a couple rotors to cover up those stupid little arrow cutouts.

Grrrrr! Clutch hydro went out about a block from home this morning. Replaced the master since it was in stock at O'reilly, bench bled it until I got sprayed with DOT3, installed it and then bled the ever living crap out of the system until it starts feeling good and then BAM air in the system again! No one that I called can get me a slave until next week so I just said screw it and ordered an exedy SC614 from rockauto. Ended up blowing my plans for getting the squirt tuned tomorrow too, but now I have more time to work out the fuel pump/MAF delete anyways!

I used to have the reverse glow gauges on my FB, I loved them. I just wish there was a way to make the gauge needles glow too.

Yeah me too. Maybe paint them with flourescent paint? Finally got that all back together, I'm not going to take it apart again. Solex locks and a short shifter are next on the agenda.

Where did you find those for FB?
I used to see them around a few years ago, but haven't been able to find them for a while.

Ebay on the faces, see them on there now and then. I think I had that kit sitting in the car for about 6 months or more.

Thanks for the link on the Intelliglow needles, I've written them to find out why they say 93+ and in red only for Rx-7's

Worked on my coilovers and flushed my fuel system. Still having some issues with it. Pressure will only go to 3 psi when first started and will fall to 0 in about a minute. Regulator doesn't make a difference. Also finished the wiring for my temporary temp gauge.

Well it seems that only fd's have lexan needles. Plus since theirs are red, they can only get red intelliglow. However, since there was a cluster from a 95 chevy blazer (also 2 large and 4 small needles on it) on Ebay for $20 I bought one. Going to see if I can swap out to the lexan needles and be able to get any color intelliglow I want.
