ok protege cluster question

[Festiva_tunner]

Ok.....how much smaller would you say? I like the smaller ones as it is.
Thanks

Ok sorry it took so long I've been getting home so late that I didnt ever go back out and take the picture after I got in.

Here is the over-all diameter - Its much nicer with the wheel being about two times smaller. I didnt have a Standard wheel I only had the LX wheel but they arent much different in size.


You'll notice my wheel has a slight slant back - I bent the top of the wheel backwards towards me when the wheels are straight - Something I do with alot of my wheels. Over all the RX7 Wheel is about the same depth as the LX wheel but once you add the aftermarket hub it changes drastically. Distance to the levers is right at your finger tips if you have your palms on the wheel - I have big hands though

Awesome thanks and i wasn't in a hurry with it no problem thanks for the pic.

read and searched.
does this swap work with a festy speedo with a tach?
none of these people have it done with a tach.
i have a orange non tach cluster, but wanted to keep my tach

[MTec007]

i have an orange tach, if i could get a hold of one i will try it, but if it works i might not send it back lol

[gestiva]

mine is orang too, just dont want to go through the trouble if it dont work.
going out to car and try anyway! maybe it will work and i can post how to.
if it dont work, i ca.n always use my non tach and buy after market tach.

[Festiva_tunner]

Yes according to htchbck it does orange are a direct swap the tach clusters are harder to make a custom face for though

[Mctiva]

I kept my 92' protoge steering wheel and direct swapped my festys out-soo much more comfortable.

[gestiva]

It works

just completed the swap with tach.
took about 15 min total.
very straight forward swap.
2 tabs need to be broke "you will see which ones."
drill hole in clear plastic for trip button
GPS shows speed to be slow by 5mph"gonna take it off and move it a lil"
looks UGLY but works! hit 115 mph QUICK!
