best part is, it requires no modifications to the vehicle itself (ie, no cutting wires or anything) so I can take it out and put it in any festiva I want
... though why would I want it in anything besides my BP car? :lol:
No festiva for me ATM...Comment

seriously though, that is awesome. it looks great. could you not put some blue tint over the toplights though to make it all match?89 L, hopefully returning from the dead soon with a little more power... :twisted:

the speedo and tach are from either a '91 or a '94 I think (it had a BP in it whatever year it was)... several reason I chose that car: 1. I wanted something from a BP car for the 7K redline, 2. cause I wanted a matching speedo and tacho (so the needles would be the same length) and the speedo on a EGT doesn't hookup to the festy cable, and last but not least, thats what was available to me at the time.
If I can find an electronics shop to etch some real circuit boards for me I'll gladly start making an selling them... I had a lot of fun building itOriginally posted by geezerstivaNo festiva for me ATM...Comment

the PCB would cost you a bit, but if enough people forwarded you the cash you could make 100 for almost as cheap as 10.
Here are some sites that I was looking into when making my atari handheld.

Well it took me over six months but I finally did it:lol:. I just got the clear plastic piece from the toplighting from an orange cluster (the ones from the white clusters are already tinted green) and I took some blue window tinting and wrapped it around three times and reinstalled it... its a little dim, but not too bad, next time I have to take the cluster out I'll probably take it down to just two layers of blue to let a little more light through but its not so bad that I'm going to remove the cluster just for that. I'll try to remember to get a pic tonight, it looks pretty good, especially with my blue face stereo and my blue neons... all thats left is getting some blue bulbs put in the heater controls and I'll have a completely blue lit interior. Didn't someone do a write-up recently about changing the heater control bulbs? I seem to remember seeing it but a search isn't getting me to it...?Originally posted by geezerstivaNo festiva for me ATM...Comment

Indiglo
When I worked at Michaels arts and crafts, a guy came in looking for this blue acetate that we carried in sewing, His friends scanned and inverted their speed/tach/clusters, printed them so they were mostly white instead of black, then put the blue translucent acetate over top. He swore that it looked exactly like indiglo.93 Festiva GLComment
