i'll have to pick up the robot chicken dvd i loved the whole ackbar cereal & the aluminum falcon bit lol!

Honestly; is there such a thing as Too rice?



.........ummmm.........yes.

dude. Knowing you it suits you. i think if you do it right it would be pretty bad ass. Something different. my only thought is you need a litte more read all around the car if you going to do all the carpet, like dont just leave it with suttal red and then CARPET! yah know?
yea matt, if you do all red carpet, i know you just got the ss3 seats, but then it would be missing the red BRIDE front buckets XD!!!

just leave it black IMO---it looks cleaner smile.gif

Death will never put BRIDE seats in. Anything non-OEM will never see the interior of his car with the exception of sound equip. lol.

Is that at your work? I think we have the same desk LOL
where'd you get those gauges from and how much did they set you back? I just recently placed an order for the rest of my ProSport gauges. Pretty much got 4 gauges for the price of 3. biggrin.gif

Nice purchase! Stri are very good quality gauges at a much more affordable price vs. Defi.
we have the Stri DSD-SLMII boost gauges in both Vadar & R2 & i'm looking to pick up some temp & press gauges for Vadar to match.

Turbochargers.com for $160 out the door. The EGT was the most expensive at $100 before tax. Guess the Oil pressure gauge didn't cost sh*t. I pulled another one of my amazing deal things and jewed them down from $300 total biggrin.gif
I was gonna go prosport as well but had my eye on these too for a few months now.

Sweet - I was a little woried seeing as I had never heard of them before. I can get you whatever you need cheap - LMK.
They should look good with tthe AEM wideband and the two TRD boost gauges. biggrin.gif They do this cool little sequence when they come on [Which I wish I could turn off because none of the other gauges do of course] and have extremely lit LED back grounds but they are still black face white 270* or higher so they match pretty well. Just got to paint the silver rings around the glass to match the rest.

I still haven't gotten the carpet dry cleaned so it's not in yet but yes that indeed does mean you can have your boost gauge. Are you still using my A/F gauge? If not I think I'm gonna put it in the glove box of the LS along with a few others.
I have other gauges available now too. I think I still owe roellamizzle a few tho.

dang, i wish i knew you would've been able to get'em that cheap, I probably would've purchased those instead of the ProSports.

these are just a japanese brand that is lesser known than Defi but the gauges are used in JGTC & other sanctioned racing events there.
ahh i wish i would've known that before we bought the boost gauge for R2. oh well, i'll hit you up later on for the temp & press gauges.
i love the little stepping opening sequence & the titanium ring too. you'll see it in R2 in a couple of weeks.

er.... i'll send a pm to death regarding this post. PM me if you wanna know the flaming that's about to take place laugh.gif j/p.

As for the first part, I probably wouldn't have a running car right now if it wasn't for the fact that i live 10-15 min from his place (with traffic) and we work only 5 min apart. You can imagine the benifit of havin a beer with this guy.

BTW: Dude, check your pms. Switch and CPU topic sent.

But the box says red so I'm hoping they just got them mixed up and I can switch them out today. !@#!$%$@$!#%#@^#%$@%@^#%#%#@%
And they STILL haven't finished welding up my Koyo Racing Radiator mad.gif Let this be a lesson to you Koyo owners - they did a really crappy weld job on the overflow spout - be careful with it. mad.gif

that's weird on the gauges ... the DSD-SLMII's that we have light up a nice deep red at nite.
you may have gotten the amber ones for them to light up orange??

That's what I'm thinking. When they do the warning thing do they change color cause notice the sticker says "A.Red" - Amber/red? My turbo timer does that - it's annoying cause I wish it was the exact opposite [normally red but blinks orange].

yeah ours say A.Red too but from looking at vids on youtube the X-Line gauges def. light up more of a amber/orange color.
i can show you a couple pics of the DSD SLMII that we have... hard to capture the color on camera.




it doesn't look that light colored in real life as it does in the 2nd pic, but i guess there is a amber hint to it slightly ... it matches better in real life i think.

our hks turbo timer is also orange which sux big time frown.gif

Same one I have. Maybe one of the electronics wizes here can figure out how to reverse that.
I was looking at those exact gauges but they were $200 each so I went for these instead - guess I'm gonna have to take them back and bite the bullet and pay more kindasad.gif

Get a set of Prosport gauges. Their red is actually red. All of the STI guys to it to match the rest of the OEM red lighting.

1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of moneyI'm not really an asshole, but I play one on the internet.**** Photobucket
With my gauges I was able to change out my bulb...I got red leds in there now...is it possible to do that with the gauges you bought? I can take a pic of mine tomorrow.


Love the updates...ooo and I wanna see the carpet done smile.gif

facebookWRC st205
OK I Just took some pictures of mine...again I am not even sure if you are able switch out your lights.






facebookWRC st205
Nah - not on mine - they're internally lit by several well placed small LEDs so they light evenly.
Damn - which ones are those? Those would match the TRD boost gauge perfectly.
