That way you could have want ever gauges you want and still keep the factory apperance? The faimont clock type modification is ok, but I would perfer 2 gauges oil pressure and boost.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

The Chiptorque/SS inductions on is about $100 painted, and will take most sized gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 06/12/04 07:06 AM Share Posted 06/12/04 07:06 AM On the topic of guages, I've seen this retard driving around with like 50000 billion guages (ok, 4) on his A pillar.... On the outside, completely invisible to the driver, on a civic.Just thought I might add that completely irrelivant and random comment.Good day to you....

I will be getting Apexi`s or Blitz or maybe those new nexus autometers once we have a price.But hey if you like them go for it.Hey stanger,thers hope for you yet,I actually agree with you,those gauges are atrocious along with the push button,what were ford thinking There are better after market gauges than the ford stockiesthat's the way I see it folksvikWhy shucks VIK, Thanks, I think I` ll go take a vallium now.Who says xmas never comes early.

Guest Guests Posted 07/12/04 02:56 AM Share Posted 07/12/04 02:56 AM Talked to a dealer yesterday, $509 for the MkII GT gauges and the pod, said they need a VIN before any parts could be ordered + they said FPV are asking for the non-working gauges to be returned to them before the new ones would be sent out. Bugger knows how that would work?$509 for gauges isn't bad when the FPV peddle covers where around $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Member 381 Member For: 20y 8m 20d Location: MENAI, NSW Posted 21/12/04 02:32 AM Share Posted 21/12/04 02:32 AM Does anyone know if aftermarket gauges would fit in the ford cradle. That way you could have want ever gauges you want and still keep the factory apperance? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I too would prefer the factory appearance of the fpv pod gauge holder so I can find suitable gauges. So can anyone tell me where and how much for the pod gauge holder?I had an idea for split gauges (2 in each). If you take the size of the ford fuel and temp gauges as a basis, they would look, imo, quite at home. Question is; can you get split gauges? If so, where and Im there.Regards,Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
