    Custom Gauges Anyone?

    My gauge cluster is going to f**k out so I was looking for custom gauges. This BMP looks pretty neat.. http://www.bmpdesign.com/product-exe...earch_model/31

    has anyone built their own cluster?

    That's kinda cool, but not $700 cool.

      True, and in R3V fashion I was thinking of building my own set out of vdo gauges. Looking for inspiration..

        Is this for a street car or track only?

            wouldn't a used cluster function perfectly fine and cost like $200 at the most?

              Nando, why do you have to cut me down like that? haha. My friend sent me this link to the rx7 forums. Look at the post near the bottom by ALLslowNoShow, really clean setup.

                  fixing gears isnt that bad... i think theyre like $15 for the whole set (could be wrong)

                  Why LED back lights?

                    There is. Replace the broken gears and put LEDs in.
