I know how you feel about that, I almost jumped on that GD. If you look at who is on the list to buy it so far, it is mostly high-posting oldies that I have known since I joined the board in the beginning of 2003, so ive been on here for 2 years. I think that the other guys will vouch for me, and this group deal will show you my trustworthiness in the future. I am aiming to design quite a few other products, namely the supercharger kits, headers, and some other products in the future. Have some faith, or at least give me a little trust.

is there enough room to allow 60 mm gauges to fit in them?

also, don't worry at all. Brian is quite legit.

Not without modifying the rear trimpiece a lot.... The angled rings are for 2-1/16 only. PM me Mark if you need any more info about 2-5/8 fitment.

Like I initially wanted, I hope to finish everything by the end of the month and have it ready to ship early in Feb. It could be sooner if everything comes in relatively soon...

im just gonna match my cyberdyne ones.....










however my buddy from nissan calls me yesterday and told me to come by the dealership cause they got a new car in. i said big deal. but i stopped by anyway they got a new 2005 altima type se-r. ill tell you i was skeptical at first but he handed me the keys and told to to take her for a ride. 3.5 VQ, 6spd, leather, bose, HID's, 18's, independent suspension, man what a sweet car. corners like a champ and snaps outta the corners, loud nice stereo, supportive seats, this was nothing like my 98 altima. or dare i say it ? my ve 5spd. He said now take this 05 maxima se 6spd for a drive. i said are you nuts arent you gonna get in trouble ? he said no im trying to sell you a car so i laughed and took the keys. all i have to say is both cars are quick but nissans gotta be lyin about those horsepower numbers cause the altima had more power according to my a$$ dyno, the seats were more supportive in the type se-r and just just more comfy. and what an awesome lookin car in black tinted out well it wasnt tinted but i pictured it in my head......final cost on the sticker $ 30,850 - but he said he can work on the price, so i said how much ? he said ill talk to the boss say your a good friend and reccuring customer, ect.... best he could get me was 25,200 i might be.....well im not jinxin anything yet....what it says on paper for that car and what i felt was 2 different things.....

i was reading Performance Auto & Sound and i saw an article on these gauges by Defi. They are the new Defi BF series... and they look perfect with my plans for my car. Can anyone tell me if they will fit in this cluster?

heres the site: http://www.defi-shop.com/product/bf/bf_top.html

Nevermind, i just answered my own question. The BF series are 2 5/8 or 60mm while the cluster size is 2 1/16 or 52mm. Damn. Sucks for me. Does anyone know where to find cheap gauges that look like those Defi's?

Mark (MTCOOKSON) is planning to get those, I told him that i will try to make them 60mm openings, but it will take a little longer than the rest, and an additional $15 cost for the special run.

PM me if you want more info.

Things like this happen. Hope your OK. My max is basically up to the doors in snow. I catch hell trying to start her up. I hear an Optima Battery in the near future. I heard some areas in Mass got upto 36 inches. Not including drifted snow.
