Woa! where did you get those gauges from?! I like how throwback they look. they deffo match the era, even from someone not as in tune with the era as me.

that looks VERY trick!!

Thanks, I almost forgot I had these they were hidden away in an old parts bin for a few years along with my nitrous kit. I won't be running these gauges for too long though. Eventually my whole dash will be replaced with a fabricated one featuring a custom gauge/switch panel like I used to have in my RX3 (ala old school race car). I'm sure when that time comes I'll get a whole set of matching gauges. However for the time being I wanted to run these to help monitor the rebuilt engine.

So far so good in that regard. It has excellent oil pressure its about time to start doing some freeway pulls to wind it up through its powerband under load and check the operation of the 6 ports to make sure they're working.

when you decide to get rid of the gauges for a custom one off unit. . . please do keep me in mind. I wouldn't mind buying them off of you Unless someone else has spoken for them, but I definitely want them

but yes . . . those look AMAZING.

very nice! are you adding any exterior flares for larger tires or anything? or going to keep her pretty much stock body?

You are the first person to ask about em so yeah when the day comes I'll try and remember that.

I want wider tires so flares (and likely spacers) will be necessary. I'm thinking 15x8" wheels with at least a 225 series tire in the near future. When I'm ready for the cage and the custom widebody kit down the road I may run even wider wheels. Not sure yet. I know good street rubber is getting hard to find in a 15" wheel but I wouldn't want to go much bigger than that on a 1st gen.

I prefer to run old school wheels and old school parts and keep the car looking period-correct as much as it is functional to do so. Wheels like this I think suite the FB the best. I drool over 2 piece BBS or 3 piece Hayashi's
