    Thumbs up Thank you Phreddy's!

    Thanks for the work today on my car (SVZ). I had the cluster and radio lights changed to blue/white, morphing needles installed and an aux in for my ipod installed. No more wireless ipod dock rage!

    Greg also took the time to change my crappy old steering wheel spokes to the satin silver ones - something I hadn't done yet. As well as that, he recalibrated my speedo so it actually tells me what speed I am doing. It was about 10-11% out, so the display said I was doing 121km/hr whilst my GPS said only 110km/hr!!! I even called a friend on the phone who was driving behind me to ask what speed he thought I was doing whilst following me to confirm that the GPS was right and the speedo was wrong. Now the GPS and speedo agree And even though you said you couldn't find what was causing the dash rattle, it is now gone

    I must say I burnt a lot of fuel on the ride home making the needles change colour

    I asked the same question recently, at this stage Greg is not sure if it can be done....

    Obviously if things change it will be announced!

    If only it was that simple...

    Basically Greg is keeping this one close to his chest, obviously needs to keep some trade secrets close to his chest to make a dollar or 2!

    obviiously the VT/VX and VY/VZ dash clusters are setup different, which is why it cant quite be done on the VT-VX.

    The LEDs run around the dials ie behind the numbers on the VY/VZ whereas the globes on the VT/VX pretty much sit near the corners and edge of the cluster and use tinting behind the dash plate to get the right reflection right to make it stay a constant brightness throughout.

    I love the crispness of the blue and white under all my display, shifter, windows lights, buttons and radio. The needles really do make it though! I love how the blue changes through many shades, through to purple and then onto red.

    That said, the blue and white is awesome. Not only does it look better than the green by a country mile, but it is crisp and very easy to read. I'd do the lights even without the needles.

    I really appreciate the adjustment of my speedo too. I have driven past many cops this week on the freeway safe in the knowledge of exactly what speed I was doing I will never say I haven't sped nor deny getting 2 tickets, but I'd really like to hold onto the rest of my points thank you

    Very nice. So do you have the white dials and Morphing needles from blue to red, if you do then i know what you mean about it being so easy to read as i get alot of comments from people when they drive my car about that. The SVZ cluster is different to the SV6 right??
