No Flash At Night

Sorry about that...Hard to focus in the dark :BangHead:

ooooh those are nice, I like em. btw to take good pictures at night without the flash you need a tripod :)

MineralGT 05-06-2005 10:58 PM

Yeah I'm gonna take some new ones tomorrow...I was in a hurry because I wanted to drive it...It's alittle bright on the road but I love it.

Lances03SVT 05-07-2005 12:15 PM

Looks great !!!!!!!!!!! :blob3:

MineralGT 05-07-2005 01:49 PM

Thanks...I had the reverse glow gauges but the calibration on those sucked so I figured I'd buy the pre-calibrated ones...the install only took like a half hour...can't beat it. :glasses10

MattJ 05-07-2005 04:43 PM

Looks real good. I like those gauges.

StangAddict 05-07-2005 05:13 PM

i love them, i cant wait to get mine....:)

MineralGT 05-07-2005 05:56 PM

Yeah...I like the blue glow more but this looks pretty good with the other interior lights...I'll post a pic with all of the lights on so you guys can see what it looks like when driving...I think you'll like it.

madmatt 05-07-2005 10:09 PM

Looks great man.

MattJ 05-07-2005 11:50 PM

I wonder how easy it would be to crack em open and change the green lights to blue..

MineralGT 05-08-2005 12:16 AM

I wish I would have thought of that...I was just sick of my reverse glow gauges (only the RPM gauge and the gas gauge would move...) I was in such a hurry to put the new ones in, I didn't care if they were pink as long as they worked. :thefinger

raindamier 05-08-2005 12:50 PM

those things are awsome, I want some soo bad!!!!!!!!

rada 05-08-2005 02:04 PM

Love them, want some, but I have NOOB gauge question:

Since our odometers are digital, switching guages doesn't afftect our total milage, correct???

Thanks,

RADA

MineralGT 05-08-2005 02:06 PM

No...the odometer is attached to the back of your original gauges...you just remove two little screws and put it on the new gauges...The instructions that it came with are very easy to follow...all of the milage and even the trip meter stays exactly how you took it out...fool proof :icon_joke

Blue03gt 05-10-2005 05:22 PM

make sure to post the pic of the full interior lit up so i can see how they match the other interior lights :icon_bigg

im def interested in the cluster

MineralGT 05-10-2005 05:28 PM

I tried but the other lights don't come up very well...I'll try again tonight, also how do you like the 3.90's...I might order them this weekend.

TayWolf55 05-10-2005 05:39 PM

Very nice... I wish I could enter the contest for them but I guess I cant complain!! I will have to order one when I get some more money.

well... they are a big improvement... and its just perfect for crusing in 5th on the highway and having a usable 5th at 60-65

that being said... if u were gonna go power adder i wouldnt do 3.90's cuz you will be running out of gear in 4th at 115 or so...

MineralGT 05-10-2005 10:18 PM

I don't plan on doing any power adders...I want it to last and it's my daily driver...I'll do the standard stuff and maybe a 4 bank chip down the road...I think I am going with the 3.90's though...I'm not racing every weekend...I just would like to have the power if i needed it...too many ricers around here :evil1:

What do you have to unscrew/take off to get to the gauges. I only see two screws above the gauges, and in front on the plastic to take off. just wondering how hard it would be to install them. u have 2 wire them too, does it attach to the stock electrical connector? thx.

New cluster install stuff
 
It's pretty easy...
http://www.simcoltd.com/Installation...structions.pdf
These are the same instructions that came with it...it uses all the same wiring...no connecting to wires by splicing, you just assemble the cluster on a work bench which takes like 20 mins if you work slow and careful, then you just plug it in like the stock one...easiest install you'll ever do...let me know if you have any questions. oh yeah...
When you remove the headlight knob and the two screwws from the plastic piece just pull on it and it comes right off, it will feel likes theres more screws but there's not...When you get the black piece off you'll se like 4 screws holding in the gauge cluster...You'll have to tilt your wheel all the way down the ease out the cluster. also they tell you to run the cable in between the circuit board and the housing but i found it to be much easier to run it on the outside of the housing rather than squished on the circuit board...there's nothing that can damage it when you put it back in...refer to figure 14.

I was worried about having to do some wiring but there's none...just plugs right in.
:ky: very smooth install

MattJ 05-11-2005 03:03 PM

svtnos 05-11-2005 03:11 PM
