Oh, yea, if you wanted a different, more modern, sexier and more unique looking cluster:
Rip out current cluster
Make a mould of the shape of it with styrofoam or sth.
Pick a bunch of nice-ass aftermarket gauges and set them in there (cut holes for them)
Wetlay some CF, bout 4 layers
Make some brackets to stop the gauges from wiggling around.
Pop that bitch back in.
You can have a sexy cluster with a large tach in the centre, a smaller digital speedo, boost gauge, oil temp, etc… All in the stock location, without need for putting crap on your a-pillar. It’s not that hard either.
SARD STACK dude… I have one coming in For a customer… you too can have one for $1800… not including the sensors…
What something in indiglow then use the Motec $2400 I believe, comes with datalogging and I/O ports built in.
going to all this trouble to make a guage cluster that will never see a speedo needle on the last 1/3 of the dial is silly, you loose low end ( being the 40 - 60kph zone) resolution where you do 75% of driving… might as well not have a working speedo at all and just put in some random speedo that looks good. You say you don’t like ‘rice’ yet what you what to do, for the reasons you want to do it… is ‘rice’ …
Work on the other aspects of the car first… things that will make the car require an upgrade in speedo
( just to rub it in… the FC3S come std with a 260kph speedo… and the upgrades are 300 & 330kph… ) :twisted:
stop posting. go make one. come back give us a DIY thread and let champainge rain down from the heavens. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
if your looking for someone else to tell you how to do it so you can than show off how crazy your invention is then thats kinda :greddy2:
and like everyone else said, you dont need a speedo to have that big of a range when you wont hit it…and like BAS said just for looks than it is what you say you dont want… RICE
don’t think anyone will mistake a 4 banger for a supercar anytime soon
it’s kinda like putting a dildo in your pants and saying you’re a stud, I don’t think there’s anywhere in canada you could actually go >200kph let alone legally
maybe for a few seconds down a long straight on some track but at that speed you should really be watching other things… like the road
i go over 200 all the time, just watch the road for cops and your ok, as long as your doing it in control imo its fine, i wouldnt mind having a 320km/h speedo, sasha went 279 with an sr, no reason not to get a nice speedo
