Posted 27/05/09 08:59 AM Share Posted 27/05/09 08:59 AM grats mate. so much better and appealing compared to the xr6 gauges yeah? mine made me feel sick after a few weeks probably third mod which I ever did to my car... when you first drove it with the new gauges did they stick out at ya? I.e. look 3d... compared to xr6 gauges... made you feel like woah.. untill you get used to them?heaps of people have asked me about this mod and I always advise to find a dealer that will be willing to fit and/or know how to fit it.some wont do it as its installed fpv part into lower spec model, others simply dont know how.

It gets in the way of l/h apexes too.The next one I do will be to suit smaller diameter gauges so it doesn't have as high a 'hump'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geobar Donating Members 44 Member For: 16y 6m 2d Posted 28/05/09 10:57 PM Share Posted 28/05/09 10:57 PM Hey Guys,I too have bought the FG F6 Cluster, hoping to get it fitted soon. Just one question, what the increments for the oil temp? We know the max is 150 if I assume the min is 0, does this mean each main increment is 30?? or is the min not 0? Is there anyone with a FG F6 who can check in their manual to see if it states is there.ThanksGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
