I know I tossed this out before, but I actually have a set from these guys Indiglo Gauges on the way, once they get here, i will see how I like them and we'll go from there.



Website lists pricing at $69.99. I would like to get them for somewhere close to $50.00 let me know if you are interested, this is just a pre-group buy feeler at this point. Let me know what you think.

Couple questions first. I LOVE the way the reverse style look. Hate the 2-color look. Is there any way for them to retain the black face during the day and still have the reverse lighting at night? And secondly, since they are overlays, have you contacted any customers to verify there aren't any problems with the needles rubbing. Alot of those overlays are too thick and prevent the gauge needles from sweeping smoothly, and sometimes not at all.



If these things can be checked I'd definately be in for a set of the reverse look ones.

I don't know yet, I just ordered them, like I say I was just tossing this out to see if there was any interest, I won't proceed until I have them in hand and installed, see what the quality is like.



We'd be looking at about $50.00 each which is $20.00 less then there site if we could get around 25 people to go in on it.



They only make them

1984-1985 RX-7

1986-1988 Non-Turbo RX-7

1986-1988 Turbo RX-7



They don't have any of the others available yet, but those are pretty much the ones that no one else has.

They said they would develop gauges for ANY car if they had I believe 10 people interested. You wouldn't even have to prepay, just say you want them.



So, all the FD people out there, sound off and let's get some for our cars.

SPEED_NYC 12-11-2002 02:39 PM

i'm interested in a set for my FD. c'mon vosko buy a set, ihor, ect.....

phinsup 12-11-2002 02:44 PM

They do require you to "buy in" but if we could get 10 I will go to them and see what kind of deal we could get and have them make the gauges.



Like I say if we can get together a total order of 25 we are looking at saving about $20.00

phinsup 12-11-2002 02:48 PM

Hell if we could get the 89-91 owners together I would go at them for those as well. For now just let me know that you would in fact be in for a group buy, assuming the quality is there and assuming we can get 10 of each style, then I will go to a "pre-order" and see if we can make this happen.



I am actually surprised no 1st gen owners are in on this action.

phinsup 12-11-2002 02:56 PM

OK here is the scoup, to get the 3rd gen run and get the discount we would need 20 people for the 3rd Gen gauges and someone has to provide a 3rd gen instrument cluster, that will be suck part :(

DJ Rotor 12-11-2002 04:12 PM

I like them except for the blue numbers at night. If they were all orange I'd get a set. But they're not.

Lost Time 12-11-2002 06:44 PM

Well I'm in for sure on the FD gauges. I'm sure someone out there has a car that's going to be down for a couple weeks so we should be able to get a set of donor gauges. Come on everyone, get the word out.



Also Phinsup, can they make them with black faces during the day or do they have to be white??

Fd3BOOST 12-11-2002 11:08 PM

I did my faces a while ago, I have pulled them out so much playing with the colors that I am sick of taking them out.

I know how to change your stock Black Fd faces to any illuminated color you want. PM me and I'll tell you how.

Yea if you wanna buy from "manntis". From the things he's said about me I'd rather shoot myself in the foot. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR But I was trying to get a group buy together for $20.00 less then he sells them for. That's kind of the point behind the "group buy", you can buy them at the site that I indicated for $69.99 as well.

phinsup 12-13-2002 07:11 PM

got the gauges, installed them already, did it at work in less than an hour total time. Wired them up and noticed the green color which I had purchased them for does not work. the Blue is cool, but I wanted green. I shot them an email we'll see what they do about it.

Seppuku 12-13-2002 07:25 PM

well that sucks.

mrdiaz96 12-18-2002 12:31 AM

I got them about 6 months ago and you are right the green will not work but I get complaments evertime another rex owner sees them. One thing is very important is not to move any of the needles during the instalation I had to get my rpm and speedometer re calibrated because I moved them.

phinsup 01-03-2003 03:49 PM

These guys at streetracerparts.com (also goes by srmotorsports on ebay, don't confuse htem with our sr motorsports) down right suck. The gauges were of good quality, however the green illumination did not work on them. I have sent them 3 emails regarding the issue and would just like them to make good on it, no luck.



There are SEVERAL other sites selling there gauges online as part of their "reseller" program, don't buy those either as you can't possibly be more reliable then your vendor.



If they would rectify the situation I would have brought the group buy back up, but no way at this point.
