Keen to see this at HVC!

Much better..... no more orange gauge rings. I didnt use LEDs as I didnt want any hot spots or dull area's. I used red silicon globe covers to replace the blue oem ones.

Wow. Tidy!

 

How long did it take you? Are the bulbs just from eBay?

[zahmad]

So good! Looks close to the Gen 4 clusters now.

I really liked the orange however...

Cheers. Doesnt take long, just trims to remove to get the cluster out. The bulbs are still the oem ones, I just removed the oem blue silicon covers and fitted red ones.

 

I got them from Ebay. I used the 8 T5 covers, the T10 ones are too big......

Probably as I had the Gen4 prior is why the orange looked off to me. I couldnt wait to make it red. Also why Im halfway through changing all the buttons and AC illumination to white as green looks a bit dated.

Thanks Mark! Do you think these bulbs would work? http://www.ebay.com....w-/251044128697

 

PS. You gotta stop making work for me. I'm still months behind you tidying up the engine bay :-) Intercooler hoses and hood struts arrived today. Putting them on the pile - vac lines first.

[CRUISN]

They should work.

Everything in good time. I tend to do things quickly.

[BE4ORE]

Nice, more things to do now... Thanks Mark lol... Although, I just noticed your needles are amber whereas mine are red and the rings are amber...  uploadfromtaptalk1423656098483.jpg   460.67KB   17 downloads

Probably an A-C to D-E difference

Sometimes it can just be the flash of the camera changing the colour. It changed the colour of mine when I had the flash on

[duncanm]

not in this case - bat/oil/check engine are the same orange/red across the two.

[CRUISN]

Its just the pic and lighting.

My needles are indeed red as are battery, oil and engine lights.

Rear seatbelts had some wear marks on them, looks like rubbing under a baby seat or similar. Picked up a complete set of rear seat belts from a 68000km GTB in Japan for $70 landed. These ones are mint and have zero wear.

 

LHS rear seatbelt.

 

 

Everything out to replace.

 

 

Also picked up a Zerosports air diversion plate cheap which got the satin black treatment.

 

 

Tommy Kiara / Endless calipers are here and Im in the process of refurbing them. Theyre freaking awesome! Came with Endless pads and Ive got some bling rotors to finish it off.

[BE4ORE]

Drooling!

I know, I know, you'll post pics when the awesomeness is complete.

[patttyfox]

Decided on a colour for the calipers? Or is that a surprise?

[CRUISN]

Cheers.

Same as the rear rotors I currently have on.....

Same red as the rears with the TommyKiara in white.

[RX25SE]

Schweeet!

Rare JDM Gen3 caliper porn.

Completely stripped, cleaned, seals regreased and painted. The Tommy Kaira I had to do with a fine brush by hand. Not 100% as its super fiddly. Still a few little bits to correct on it but you wont notice under the wheels.

Should be fitting over the weekend.
