i just wish that mount angled the gauges a lil' bit towards the driver. it looks great tho...

Hey, thanks for all the awesome replies The gauge panel is from http://www.42draftdesigns.com/. It's designed to fit a VW, but it fits our pocket almost perfectly (thanks to azian6er for telling me where to get it). There can be a little play, but you can use the back brackets on the gauges to hold it in place--that's what I had to do, and it doesn't move an inch now. It fits any 2 1/16" gauge, and the rest is simple! If you have anymore questions, lemme know

Oh and btw, I got the gauges from www.autodynamic.com for $150 shipped. Not top $$ gauges, but they do their job so that's all that matters.

I can't find the spring rates anywhere.. I they're a 1.5" drop for MP3/MSP tho.

I'm hoping to find something that will drop my MSP about 1-1.5" in the front and 1/2" to 3/4" in the rear, and won't be more than 10% stiffer than the factory spring rates.

FWIW, I like the stance your car has. If the rear didn't settle any more, it would be about what I'm looking for with mine.

 

[SoniCraze]

i have the carbon buildup, pretty bad. It shows bad on yellow.

Ive found that orange clean type hand cleaner takes it off like nothing else, ive tried everything else.

 

[mspeedpro]

i got the same air freshners as you!! wut scent you got?? thewyre nice...

those gauges ****** OWN, they were $50 each????

 

[evolv]

The colors look great at night. Why is it so hard to find boost guages that only go to 20psi. Its not like many people with small engines boost over 15, who the heck needs to see all the way to 30....gheesh

I like the way my car sits too... If it settles another 1/4" in the back, I would prefer it, but as it is I still love it. I will def. let you know if it stays this way, and if the case, you can pick up a set of them for yourself

I'll def. keep that in mind... I'm gonna go visit albert soon and readjust the hangars on the exhaust, it's a little close to the valence... doesn't touch at all, but I can drop it some more so there's not as much carbon buildup. Are you talking about the orange hand cleaner stuff w/ the pumice in it?

I have the blue ones, I can't remember what scent they are, but the blue ones only come in one scent. The gauges are about $45 a piece... I think boost was $38, A/F $40, and oil pressure $50, and then after shipping, it came to $150. www.autodynamic.com if you're interested (thought)

awsome install man, Do they have the S7 Dash overlays for the protege now?

 

[ARunto]

Whadya mean, got pics to explain what you're referring to? Or are you talking about the metal panel? If so, it's partially custom (not intended for MSPs but works w/ them)

I wish, AC Autotechnic gauges are sick. The reverse gauges from procarparts.com are sweet though.

 

[Witchdoktor]

AIKEN - great minds think alike (wink)

if pics don't show paste properties - imagestation for ya' (lick)

 

[slyydrr]

They look good witchdoktor--when you turn your car off, does boost always reset to 0? Mine goes to 1 VAC, or -1 boost... Should I send it back and get a new one?

 

[slyydrr]

OMG, how badass would this be... too bad they don't make it for mazda... Anyway we can get them to maybe?

It goes back to 0 on mine. The defect on mine were two out of three didn't light up so I had to buy an inverter box. Got the gauges off Ebay so mine didn't have any warranty (sad1)

 

[ThrillRide]

i have the same guages on order. they look nice. did you make the pannel for them yourself? if not where did you get it?
