i seen Sarins car domain page, with the reverse glow gagues installed

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/266027/3

it seems hard to see the needles (is it just the camera flash??) and at night it seems like its not bright enough, how do you like it Sarin??

does anyone else have them? how do you like them???

i seen the digitial gaguges at the yard i was thinking of getting them if it had same plugs n stuff?? does it?? would that be cool, i think it would

 

Probably the flash, the needles are pretty visible. You can adjust the dimmer on the gauges too for the best combo with the needles.

As for the digital gauges, if you don't have em, stay far away from em. They aren't as accurate if you ask me.

did you try them in yours??? whats not as accurate speed or everything is off???, i think i would still use it, idk how it looks at night though

how much you think the digitial cluster would cost from a junk yard??

does it have all the same hookups???

im wondering because the reverse glow gauges cost like 20 25 shipped off ebay (idk what you got urs for) but if i could get the whole dig cluster for that i would rather have it

 

Speed is one of them....I've seen a couple of cars that came with them. Besides, from what I heard, it's not plug n play either.

No it's not...a couple of the sensors are supposedly different, but there is also an analog to digital converter that mounts to the firewall that the speedo cable connects to, then the signal is fed via wire to the digital cluster.

If you do it, you'll be the first we've ever heard of swapping TO the digitals...plus, they have a pretty high failure rate, from what we've seen in the past...

 

im not going to mess with them then, i just thought it would be diff,and kinda cool.

but im just going to get the reverse gagues, and while im there im going to put in a new radio, the floater radio adapter thing and im going to install remote start,

mabey i will be the only 2eg gen with remote start???

good thing im in the habbit of not leving in gear when i park, i just yank e break


btw, i got the remote start from walmart it was on CLEARNACE for $20 so i had to get it, i had it on my 89 olds and it so cool in the freezing cold (but that cars air was gone) so on my max it should be even better, the unit is a Bulldog RS82P/RS79P

 

about the guages....last time i checked e-gay for parts there were a few sets of those for $9 but it now....just thought i would put that out there

 

those cheap ones on ebay for $9, suck. i just put them in. there is no dimmer for them and they are missing some holes. as in the holes for the pins in the guages. if you are going to get them i suggest getting the ones from procarparts.com.

 

the ones on ebay looked exactly like the ones some of the members here use....did any of you guys that have the white guages have the issues stated above

 

i got my gauges in today

im going to put them in on thursday and im also going to attempt my remote start


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT


myne came with everything, they seem to be ok

 

Interesting...mine doesn't have the round glow in the middle.

S

 

ya i dont like it

 

i think those are the ones i got. is there a dimmer or just a push button switch? good luck with them.

 

just on off, but im hook it up to the dimmer in the car

 

mine came with a blue/green switsh and a dimmer nod i spliced it into the cig lighter light wiring since i know that power is always gonna go there when i turn on the lights.

 

anyone got tips for installing remote start???? its a 5 spd so i gotta ground the switch out i guess?

anyone got rs???

 

help!!!!!!, how do i get the needles off??????????? they feel like they will break if i just pull them

i got my gaguges out and dis assembles but i cant get the needles off

 

Use a flat head screwdriver. Be careful! Wedge it under the longest part of the needle for leverage. Then once its lifted enough to fit the flat head under the base use it to pop the needles out. Becareful though.

 

i actually just slide the new guges under the needles and left the old gagues under them, is this what im sopposed to do?? cuz the new ones are thin and flimsy, shoulten i just put them ontop of the old ones and unhook the bulbs??

 

im having a problem with the temp and oil pressure cuz the hold for the stop thing is in the wrong spot, and the speedo is hard to put on cuz the trip reset buttons

 

ive got a huge headach from this crap,, i was taking out the speedo cable, and guess fen what, the screw fell somewhere and its gone, so ive been driving around with whatever fluid was in there comming out, wtf should i do,


Would anyone tell me the size of their screw so i could mabey get a stock one???

i probally shoulten drive it much right???? o well i have to, so if it fes up i dont even care anymore


but i defnatily dont wont to get the wrong screw and messup the threads.








Im so stupid i rush everything i do, and its crap, mabey cuz im young???

i think its because i just wont the finished product
