wallyaguirre Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I'm with you Starship, if they can make it for the climate control I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Quest_TSi Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Well, I'm not sure if they can do the climate controls or not. I do know one thing though. They will need a climate control module sent to them for analyzing. So check out EBay for a good used one. I might be interested in one of those too, if they can do it. Course, there would have to be another group purchase started for them. All I can say is, E-Mail `em, and see what they say.

texastitan Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 The part that makes the Climate Control orange is not that hard to get to. Aside from taking it out of the car, it's five screws and some VERY CAREFUL prying with a small screwdriver. Directly behind the liquid crystal display is a light orange piece of plastic. Take it out, and i'm thinking you should be able to stick your LED's or colored lights or whatever in there to change the color. If my camera batteries arent' dead, I'll take some pictures of the dismantled piece. Unfortunately, I don't think I have any LED's laying around, although I may have some green light bulb cover thingies from an old Toyota laying around......

sanitariumite Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 So couldn't you just take the orange piece of plastic off, and find a different colored replacement for it? I wouldn't mind blue. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastitan Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 It would probably be easier to find a colored film to replace that orange plastic with. I used to have some in three or four different colors, I wonder if it could be obtained from an arts and crafts store? I will have to look sometime in my spare time. There is a clearish lens right behind the orange plastic lens that you could attach the film too. Should work on the clock also.... The buttons for the lights have an orange paint like substance to make them orange that apparently lets light through. I bet it wouldn't be too hard to change that either. I'm glad you said something about getting a different color plastic, for some reason it reminded me of that colored film....LOL! : Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Quest_TSi Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 My brother brought this to my attention, because his car was an 87. I forgot about it. Let's just say for a minute that we do confront SpeedHut about doin something for our climate controls. If they were gonna do one. They would most likely have to do the 88/89 style because it was a flat touch surface. The 87s and earlier, actually had buttons in them. I don't think they'd be able to do the buttoms. Just thought I'd bring this point up. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slydogg Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 my 86 has the flat touch, i'll bet martha stewart could tell us if colored celaphane? not sure how that's spelled' could take the heat,mine needs replaced anyhow. also, do i win a prize for being # 25 ? sly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Quest_TSi Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 I think we all are! I can't believe we actually did it! I can't wait to get mine into my car. Knocks 1 thing off a long list of things to do to my car before next season. I'm hopin to get all the mechanicals done this Winter/Spring, and then maybe paint next year (`06). I checked SApeedhut's site, and our gauges are still in the tooling process. We probably won't see anything til probably the end of Jan, or first of Feb. Whoever gets their's first, make sure you post to tell the rest of us!! Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bshade Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I am really interested in these gauges; the problem is I put in an autometer boost gauge. I don’t want to go back to stock because that gauge is not very accurate. Do I have any other solutions? I want to make the gauges silver with blue numbers. I have not see any boost gauges like that. I looked at autometer's site to see if there is anything I like there to make mine look like so they match. But I am lost nothing that will be doable. Let me know what other gauges are out there that I could make it look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coke Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Does anyone know if the custom text you can add to the gauges, appear in the text shown, or is it in "Eurostyle" font? That makes a huge dilema in what to write down. CoKe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Quest_TSi Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Well, I just checked the website. It still says they are in tooling. I will E-mail them though to find out how far along they are. I will let you know as soon as I hear something. I too am curious to as when they will be completed.

Black_Quest_TSi Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I just received a reply from Speedhut, and they approximate our gauges will be ready & shipping in 4 weeks. They said due to the Holidays, it set them back a bit. So that means by about the 3rd week in February, we should start to see our gauges at our doors.

bshade Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I need help, I want to design gauges that I can buy other aftermarket gauges that look like them. one of my friends said do them to look like the auto meter cobalt blues. I like them but I would like a silver face. if you guys have any ideas for me let me know. like companies with aftermarket gauges that look good, I am def doing the reverse el-glow. that looks hot. but before I order I need to find gauges that I can mimic so they all match. thanks for the help.
