It's our secret sideshow, if I get a knock on the door I will know who spilled the beans... hehehehe

Rather silly when you think about it. This would have to be more accurate than a 20 year old speedo, hooked up to a car now running different rolling profile tyres to what the original gearbox cog was designed for.

Pills,

How do they look? Can you put up a pick uninstalled?

The more i look at the website the more i want some. All the gauges seem to be extremely versatile with the abilty to be programmed to most senders and postage is well priced.

Did you get the CCW speedo? Did you get the 8 guage piggyback harness?

Zedn,

I think they look great. Will try and post a pic.
I went for the cw speedo, but regret not getting the tacho with shift lights. When you buy the set (you can choose which gauges you want) the 8 way harness is supplied, as well as the dimmer to control all the gauges (a bonus I didn't expect). You are right about all the sensors, and they also include the programing button for the rear connection, even though its listed as an accessory.
Fantastic service. From order to delivery 7 day turnaround, with my selection of black face, white pointer, metric scale and cobalt blue backlight, and all for under $900.(7 gauges in my case)

Here is a picture of the gauges as they were shipped

Here is also a pic of my car and the dash, so you can see why I want to change it.

and the dash

Those look nice thanks for posting the pcis. What font is that you went with?

I bet you cant wait to get them installed. They should spice up the dash nicely.

Hi Zedn. The font style is century, and you are right about me wanting to get them installed asap. I love my Smiths gauges, but I can't see them in the dark, and on those realy hot days, I like to go for a drive at night. With the cobalt blue it should light up like a christams tree.

Will put up some pics when they are in.

Cheers Chris.
