81-85 taillights are the same. I didn't know 131 had any 7's left, I heard he crushed them. I used to hit them up for FC parts all the time. All they had were FB's and S4 NA FC coupes. Brillo and I made the mistake of going there on a Saturday and the guy was an *** so I quit going there.

So I take it you don't need a bumper anymore Hellbent since you're getting a S5 one?

Construction man, or at least the original on ramp is. Passed it all up, had to back track, passed it again, back tracked, passed it, back tracked then found it finally. Exit 389 is the new halfass exit for james white and the po station.

You and your run-ins with the law. You need to repaint your car something other than red! I vote purple.

Derrick, James White is closed... anyway I saw you car today I passed by your work and saw it then about a couple miles down the road I saw a red FB parked infront of what my mom said used to be a restuarant or something. I was going to call you to see if you knew about the car and just whatever.

Anyway, I'd like to get $200 out of the car but really just make an offer. I'd trade parts for it. I've posted what I need a bunch of times but incase you don't know just PM me and I'll tell you the parts I need.

RE-Amemiya makes a tach that registers to 10k. Incase you didn't know, RE-Amemiya is Japanese for REally-Expensive. I wonder if the S5 NA gauge cluster would work? You'd lose the factory boost gauge but that's useless anyway. It buzzes at 8 but registers 9.

RE-Am parts aren't made, they fall out of the sky. I dunno anywhere that sells that. You could pick up a S5 N/A cluster at a parts yard or from someone on the forum. I'd search through the 2nd gen forum to see if anyone else has tried it because I don't know if it would even work. Also you're going to lose your odometer reading unless it's possible to just swap the tach and the face.

"Smart Fix 40" is why it's closed. Basically Knoxville screwed the pooch when they originally "upgraded" 40 back in the 70's (?).

Anyways, use Henley street if you need to go downtown for any reason.

Battle, why dont you try to install an Aftermarket rpm gauge? just pull the old one out, leaving a round circle, then carefully remove the outer plastic, putting the new(hopefully perfectly sized) tach in the old hole, glue plastic back together, then wire as nescessary?
