taking out my gauge cluster.

[Mizery]

ok im thinking of taking ut my gauge clsuter since the only thing that is hooked up in it is the back light. i will be puyting in an after market speedometer,fuel gauge . any recamendations? also how would i hook up the speedometer with my trany? is there a special cable?

[stefan]

well the spedo is cable driven. i dont think its a universal thing. good luck finding something that can hook up

[Mizery]

yeah thast what i thought as well. so what are these guys running when they use the 120mph gauges?

[stefan]

ither import ones from overseas, that were designed of the festy, but werent an option here, or some guys go custom and fit in a spedo from another car, some mazdas/fords will use the came cable

I have seen a RX 7 speedo head installed in a Festiva cluster. It goes to 140MPH.

Fred installed a 323 GT cluster in my car....it goes up to 200kph ...... he had to do some custom work to make it fit and work properly....maby when I get my project running I'll take it apart and see what he did to make it work......But untill I get the car on the road........that's the last thing on my mind!

[25Horseplay]

Can you post a picture of the Gt cluster?

[Sleeper]

i'm pretty sure fred posted pictures of that here a while back......I'll get some pictures of the car up in a little while.....I'm just really busy for the next few weeks.....

[stefan]

dose the 323 cluster have a tach/trip?

[SimonTuffGuy]

Fred's did... Looked pretty cool from what I remember. I believe he said it took rewiring the plugs and a bunch of cutting to make it fit correctly.

so no one knows aof a speedo i can buy to fit an after market speeometer that youc an get from your local parts house? that goes over 85 like a 120 mph
one?
