Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

Well, I have the dual gauge pillar for my crx, but with more than two gauges, vafc, and a shift light I didnt' want everything just thrown around, so I decided to make my own gauge cluster with a piece of carbon fiber that bambooseven gave me. I still have some detail work to do around the edges of the gauges, but here's how it's coming so far. (Country music WAS played while making this) ;)

My camera blows ass.

The vafc is snuggly in there. I only trimmed the hole big enough to kinda wedge it in there right now, but I will be sealing it up with something. Liquid nails was used for the carbon plates. More of something will be added later.

i fear nothing

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

looks pretty phat...does it fit right?? post pics

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

I was gonna post pics of it in the car, but the only camera I have access to is the "webcam" at my moms house. Can't pull it out to the street with the wire attached.
(No, my mom doesn't have a live webcam) ;D

r u going to relocate the HVAC controls?

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

What kind of camera is that? I'm curious so I know which one NOT to buy.

The AFC I bought from Trance had a piece of velcro on the back and my Civic had a piece on the roof liner so I put two and two together and BAM!

I don't know if I'm actually going to put it there or not. I just want it out of site and out of the way. If someone looks inside your car they are going to see all kinds of gauges and ----. I thought you were stealth yo? ???

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

The wires for the heater controls are just long enough for me to mount it in the glove box.
I am stealth, that's why I decided to do it this way instead of hanging two gauges in my window and having gauges everywhere else. Don't worry, stealth has plans for a "hide-a-cluster" black cover. ;)

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

Damn man that shift lights gonna blind ya

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

Here's my ghetto-tastic VAFC install. Steve, that ---- looks pimp, even better then you described earlier. I need to redo mine with CF, I used ABS for mine.

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

doc your afc is 10x as stealth as stealth's. stealth, you might just have to be doc's vice president if you keep this up. bamboo, where did you get the carbon fiber and for how much? I have big plans for carbon fiber.

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

Wait till I take a picture of my turbo timer install. You will all be jelous.

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

Is that why it looks like that :-X

Just playing Steve.Looks good!

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

I think that's where I messed up in the block post install, we're not allowed to listen to any kind of music in the "lab" at school, the last time we had a radio we were bumpin the country music and we tore that hyundai to ---- just fine.

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

Those are some rough pics Steve, non the less, good work mate.

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

I bet. None the less Illegal. Don't use this on you carbon fiber you little lammas. Ok kids?

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
 

Thanks guys.
I didn't make the carbon fiber plate, bambooseven gave it to me. If I would have had to make the ---- myself, you'd be looking at plastic right now. haha.

Being a gauge geek is better than selling out with a B series. ;)

The pics of your printer plug deal didn't show up, so I'm not sure what "air bags" have to do with this yet. ;)

Re:Homemade Gauge Cluster **PICS**
