the needles were all placed in the right positions and with a full tank of gas so the fuel one coiuld be set at F. but turned the car on and the idle says 1500 when it's really at 750 800 rpms and engine temp stays on the H and isn't over heating.they look so hot but rather have them exact. hello am I the only one with white gauges c'mon fellas?

Well if your tach is moving you did that somewhat correct and you didnt break it. The speedo is always finicy according to Eric. What he ended up doing was setting on the dyno, put the dyno at like 30mph hit cruise and put his needle on like that. The Temp gauge sounds like its just in the wrong place. I would either call the manufacture up and see what they say for tips, or just try again.

Atleast you can get white faced guages, I cant. Dont understand why they made a run for the 91-92, 2 years. So why not make another run of 93-94, 2 years. Argghhh

Thats my opinion and I could be wrong

93 classic
Aztec Red, Automatic, POP, STB, OEC battery tie down, AD22VF's, Pirelli P4000's

I messedup the temp gauge so I ordered a new one 32 bucks. the speedo is working but off.gonna get it recalibrated at a speedo shop. when I drive at ten mph it reads 20 so I 'll probably just subtract depending on how much they want to fix it. according to the gauge , the car is crazy fast!hehe

thanks guys.

I *tried* putting white gauges in my car, but that didnt work. I broke the tach, the the spring for the speedo got stretched out so it would be 20mph+ and would come down slowly. I had to buy new gauges. I learned my lesson.. unfortunetly

They do make gauge overlays for all classics. It's a place called www.Importperformance.com $25 bucks!!! Got mine and i was impressed. I have blue, so it costed 5 bucks more.

The overlays looked like total ass from all the pics I have seen. Execpt the carbon fiber lookalike stuff. Because its already close to black you cant tell the places thaty are missing and the white letters on like white looks like ass. I want real white faced gauges, but did think about the carbon fiber it dont look that bad.

 

[Jaketips42]

I just kept in mind that they only costed 30 bucks and there wasn't any other gauges made for a 93, ya know.

ya I have the real white face replace ments. look so hot and then I painted the plastic in front of the gauges aluminum. match with the polished aluminum and real carbon fiber accents in the ride. everyother gauge works except the temp gauge it moves soooo slow. but I guess works. still replacing that one cause it's an important gauge IMHO. after sitting for a while, the ride is back and looks better than ever. plates and all!

Love my white faced guages...but I had them professionally installed...I cheated! I had the indicators painted red also, looks so great. Wise thing too is to put all new bulbs in when in there.

Visit my web page to get an idea of what My SE-R is all about. I will say it is not heavily modded. Just well taken care of and babied! Best car I ever owned...
