Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Well i finally made good progress. The new cluster is in. All 4 of the little gauges work fine, but im having troible with the rpms' and the speedo. It seems the needle needs to be on a certain way... i had them on right once and then accidentally knocked them out of line. Is there a method to getting the needles on right? The tach one keeps going up to 3k and the speedo one is well, wierd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 this is why it's a bad idea to mess with your gauges, not sure how hard it is to set it correctly but you may be SOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I read somehwere that you need to spin it counterclockwise to the desired 0 location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 remind me why did you swap in a tgp cluster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 becuase i like to make myself imagine i have a TGP. It actually looks nice in there, if you could block out the dissasblmed dash. If there was a TGP near me i would have gotten one instead, but such is not the case.

White93z34 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 so, what does the boost gauge do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 reads the battery voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Fury Z Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 gotta get a pic of the boost/volts gauge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I will speak for the Turbo guys by saying thanks for ruining a perfectly working TGP cluster....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 so you can feel like you have a tgp reminds me of the ricers that take a civic DX and slap EX badges on it, not that your cars low end, but it ain't no TGP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 May have been, but oh well. The actual TGP cluster isnt in there, its just the face. The real TGP cluster is in a box in the trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 s, not that your cars low end, but it ain't no TGP I'd hope not. Its "got all the bells and whistles" (excepy the updated seat package) and a formerly good 3.4. one day, when Im ready, the car will be fully TGP-ified. For now its a project-to-become-daily-driver until i can really splurge on an mclaren engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I wanted the face in the worst way. It looks awesome. So if I wanted I could put the face back on the original TGP cluster, and it would be alright. I thought a face swap would be easy, thats why I did it. If I knew it would be this involved, I wouldn't have. But im too far in to give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "Intercooled Turbo", has stupid colors that don't even match on the boost guage, and it says "PREMIUM Unleaded Fuel Only". Holy shit!

Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Yeah, I guess you didnt get the memo yet. So Im gonna go a head and send you a copy of that, mkay?

Baddflash Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Yeah, I guess you didnt get the memo yet. So Im gonna go a head and send you a copy of that, mkay? And your going to need to go ahead and watch your TPS reports, mkay? As they say, small minds are easily amused. Personally I have to agree with what others have said. You're all proud of owning this "petty edition GP" but you're spending your time mutilating things that were working perfectly fine when you can't even drive the thing, but you apparently do which is great for ensuring the engine is completly fucked. I don't know man but if I were you I'd concentrate on fixing whats broke not breaking whats not. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" Words to live by my friend, makes life so much simpler and less stressful. Good luck on getting that working right again, you had it right before so I'm sure you'll get it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 well a ctually the check gauges is broken, and i originally wanted to fix that but the project went overboard. The engine is anyone's guess. It ran fine today. Yesterday it wouldnt start and when it did it ran like crap. who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
