Here's a couple of pics of the progress I've made so far:


I know there slightly blurry, but it was some very rushed pics.
I hope to get the little stuff done as soon as I can smile.gif.

Thanks smile.gif. Theres 38 Led's in all in it(the cluster), I know that's alot but I wanted to make sure it was evenly lit.
*Edit*
Forgot to ask.... Do you turn the key on and set the needles? Also isn't the normal idling about 1,000 rpm's?

set the idle so that the needle barely comes to rest on that peg when ignition is turned off. for speedo, start car, and put needle at zero. for temp., start car and wait 15 minutes; put in the middle. gas you will have to go fill up and then put the needle on at full.

Dude, did you take any pix of the inside?
A better way to tach, if you have tools would be:
RPM
to make it really accurate, you need a automotive multimeter with a freq clamp.
1 clamp the multimeter on 2 spark plug wires
2 rev the engine
3 have a buddy tell you when you're right at 3K RPM.
4. stick the needle on and verify.
Speedo
1. then drive in 2nd gear at 3K RPM = 35MPH
2. then stick the needle on your MPH
Coolant
at this point, stick your coolant needle on in the middle
Gas
fill your tank, stick on the needle

No, I was GOING to but it ended up being a very rushed project when I started to put it all back together sad.gif. I plan on taking it back off and getting some though lol.
I think it's just my RPM's that are off now... Don't think I have an automotive multimeter.

Can you make the drive to sheppard Air Force Base? We can get your gauges aligned.
I have a buddy who wants his car like yours. he's got a red tiburon with a messed up interior from previous owner. Wait until he sees these gauges.
