he he woops sorry Josh :wink: dont know where i got matt from lol.

I have thought about changing the dash. Had a chat to AVO to see what they could do about guages. I'm not the practical type so might get a mate to design a dash adding extra guages. Although I do like the orange back lights to the suzuki dash. I have thought of something like TWINCAMMINI's dash set up. Adding like glove box and other pieces. What sorta guages would you add if you were going custom??? Oil temp, water temp, oil pressure, battery condition????


The colour is cool because it stands out. I guess not everyones cup of tea but the number of comments i got even on the first day i got it was amazing.

:lol: no worries..it depends what you want..

I originally was going to go a full autometer setup and a curley carbon fibre dash..

Instead i'm now going to go for one of these:

Hooks straight up to the ECU to get all feeds...beware it ain't cheap @ $1800...but it beats a stack dash which is $3500...an autometer setup will set you back ~$1000..then you have to hook them up and have them mounted properly.

You have to think of the whole overall theme of what your going for, it's the little things that count. Like the fact that the AIM dash has a blue backlight is a big bonus for me as it helps tie it in with the car at night 8)

I dont hate the colour of your car, i like it in fact, but it's not what i would paint MY dream car 8)

The Autometer carbon fibre series would look nice in your car..or the pro-comp.

hmmm the procomp still has that old school feeling but new school taste.

I'll look into it a bit more i think. get some prices. start building a dash out of cardboard. the annoying thing is I cant pull apart the car as I need it for everyday, and police dont like it if you drive around with no guages. lol.
My mate has a set up the when he goes over 100kph his speedo swaps from green to red, and if he goes over 4000rpm same happens with tacho. looks cool.

yeah i know what you mean, its not actually what I would paint as dream car colour, but lambo orange or that new XR5 ford orange, wasnt around when this thing got painted. Also I didnt own the car then. ha ha ha

Cheers for the help though.
