gauges

[mistermeena]

anyone know if its possible/legal to just rip out your instrument cluster and replace it with aftermarket gauges like autometers or something? some idiot at holden put the speedo in the center where the tacho should be...as if i care what speed im doing!

Simple answer to that!
Buy a mazda RX7 with the huge arse tacho stairing you in the face!
Or even a mini for that matter, speedo in middle tacho right in front.

I cant see it being a legal issue so long as your speedo odometer reads genuine km's and everything works correctly.

be an expensive project i would imagine.
Not to mention a wiring loom nightmare!

I've done a couple of older cars, fitted after market gauges, for a speedo, tacho, fuel, temp, oil and volts your looking at about $800.00.

VR's rely on the there own speedo for a pulse to the ECM, and trying to find an after market fuel gauge to match the sender could be hard.

It would look awesome, the ones I have done look great, I'm doing an old XT Falcon ute at the moment with VDO gauges (very reliable and accurate).

I think you'll have to do your homework, If your really keen there are ways around these things.

Let me know if I can help you anymore.
