From a stop you should get him everytime like you did from 10 mph and if you just keep the pedal to the medal he want catch ya up to 120 or so, been there done that with my wifes old TLS. Now from a roll gearing comes into play but once the TLS gets in that dreaded 4th gear its a dog whereas the Max pulls hard in 3rd and 4th, any slight lead he has will be overcome when he gets into 4th in the TLS trust me.

 

He doesnt have to if he's at a low speed he will pull like he did form that 10mph roll, and he should just keep it to the Floor the TLS wont catch up until 120 or so when we start reaching that 130MPH-135 mph top seed and the TLS sails onto 145 or so.

 

The more I see racing videos the more I realize how stupid it can be.. I just saw a video of someone racing and the loser (an integra) did a ricer fly-by and took out another car.... I will probably not race anyone anymore unless I go to a track or know that the person KNOWS WHEN TO STOP..... Some of you guys out there say that mag racing is BS.. well, I would rather have these idiot ricers do mag racing rather than race on the streets and get killed or kill someone else...

On to the gauges now... I have to figure out how to change the color....

 

hmm....teach me something about gearing, so..how we supposed to change our gear on auto? when we already on 40 or 50mph...we press break pedel and change gear to 2nd gear when we gonna race? will that hurt the tranny and engine? how if we are on a red light, and we are ready to take off? put the gear to 1st? and when do we change it to 2nd? and do we have to put in D? we changing gear by press break pedel and switch gear like we auto usually do? teach me plz......i dunno how to drive manual..my dad doesn't want me drive it and wouldn't teach me cuz he knows i'd race...so he got me an auto maxima instead of a manual one..

 

http://www.importintelligence.com/FM...dex.html&-Edit this is a link to gauge face...many colors...i'm asking them how it looks like if i want to get the ocean blue one..i don't want the whole gauge face looks blue..that;'s nasty...we can also get hyber red needle for our max..

 

Studman, is there any way to replace the plastic backing? I have seen some plastic thats is perfect for EL lighting..... Thanks

 

Oxidizer2k: Are you talking about the template with all the numbers on it, or just the white plastic backing?

 

you said "The gauge housing has a clear plastic backing that reflects light into the gauge face." Maybe I was confused, but is that clear plastic loweing the amount of clolor displayed? So is that replaceable? If this is not what is causing the lighting issues then is the number template changable? It just seems like a lot of work.. do you think it makes more sense just to get new gauges?

 

Damn. I wish my max had the I35 lights. So bright!!

 

Oxidizer2k: I don't know that there is anything out there to replace the clear plastic with. What I don't know is if the clear plastic isn't reflecting the light correctly, or if the stock overlay has a coating on it that cuts out other colors of light from projecting through, thereby reducing the visibility when using other colors. Maybe someone can order a different template from Import Intelligence and see if it allows the colors to project through.

I would assume that it's in the stock template and not in the clear reflector. I had tried some extremely bright UV LEDs that were narrow-beamed. While they lit up the numbers, I noticed that the bulb HAS to be a wide-beamed bulb. I've yet to find a 74 LED that is designed to project the most amount of light sideways, as most of them shoot it straight forward.
