Gauges

[98GalantDriver]

what sort of gauges do you all have ?

ide like to do something with mine, but im not sure what... tomorow im gonna take a look at the inside of the gauges and see if its worth getting the clear front gauges...

is there another way to tell the idle speed... i popped my needle off and forgot to mark the idle, so i think its about 200 rpms off, but ide like to put it in the right place

im thinking about something like these...

Keeping mine stock, just changing the bulbs to hyper whites to get rid of the dingy off-white color.
Your engine should idle somewhere between 650 and 800.

i have the stock whiteface gtz gauges
although not installed yet i also have autometer ultra-light cf boost and oil pressure gauges for my upcoming s/c build i also have to pick up a gauge for the wideband as well

i may eventually change the stock gauge faces to a cf one to match the others though...but not worried about that untill after everythings in

my car is idleing around 800 rite now, but my needle says 1000... i guess ill just estimate where it should be... unless someone knows a second way to tell the RPM... and im not gonna try to sit there and count...

i use the s7 gauges. i'll try to take a pic of them later today.

[bmore303]

I don't know what you're doing to the car in the long run, but there are other devices that can read the RPMs based on the electrical signal.

[spardavr4]

Mechanics can read the RPM's using a little computer device if you really want to be accurate.

7th gen doesn't have S7 guages....

[98GalantDriver]

yea, so i saw those awesome gauges, and im like, thats what im doing, then i realized it wasnt 7g...

i dont really wanna get a tach... forgive the pun, but its tacky... ESPICALLY considering im driving an automatic :shrug:

i could always get 1 and use it for what i need, then return it... if i ever get a manual ide put a tach in it, but def. not in an auto... looks like my needle will bo off for a while... owell

* wants those s7 gauges :| *

EDIT: is there any place that i can get a digital speedo ? are those little compooterz accurate ? the think that you suction cup to the windshield, and all you need to do is put it in the lighter... ide like one of those, to know the 0-60, 1/4et, and all that fun stuff... but i dont wanna spend all that for something that is "kinda accurate"

[evil-G-nius]

I have a plan for mine....but its expensive and its on hold right now. So sorry I have no pics yet

[kolio]

i'm with bmore303 i'm just putting led's in the gauges

[98GalantDriver]

what size LED is it ?
i was thinking of doing that, cuz then it would at least match the color of everything else in the car :)

Besides just pulling the cluster you can check this thread and the guys cardomain.

there's gotta be a way how autotechnic can make a custom design s7 gauge for the 7G. Or maybe someone here can do the design ;)

All these 8gers posting their 8g gauges in a 7g thread .... Who cares what 8g parts you have when we are talking about 7g parts?

I have the gray reverse el Bombz gauges. Think they were limitted production run as I saw them on eBay for a short time then they stopped carrying them. Couldnt tell you if I had pics of them or not.

That should give you an idea of how certain bulbs turn out.

[98GalantDriver]

well off to hit up the auto parts place by work... maybe they will have the bulbs :)

[bmore303]

Probably be better off ordering from some place like autolumination.com Your average autoparts start only has normal lights or annoying Blue leds everywhere in only one size.

[98GalantDriver]

well i got some lights off of pep boys... its 1 LED with this wierd divit in the tip... well they arent the greatest... paid $20 for all 4... they only had it in 194, no 73 or whatever the 70 something was... so ill be getting some of te interweb soon as i get paid :|
