hi all...

i got a new white 300km/h speedo kit from POLICE a few weeks ago and some niiiiice blue led clusters from 666DAN last week... came time to install them today and it works grrr8 :P very happy... calibrated the speed using my navman n its super :P until i decide to put the clear, plastic shield back over the cluster and then oh ohh... there is spray paint mist all over it! :D any ideas on how to get it off... ive tried soapy water... nail polish remover wit no luck... then came time for the turps... n it still didnt come off...

has anyone got any ideas on how to get it off? or perhaps do i have to find a new cover?

Where did you purchase the speedo and how much are they i am interested in buying one.

Post up a pick of the finished product, be good to see it.

Arrh ok it was a private sale, yeah i doubt he would have a stock pile lying around. Thanks mate.

get in touch with 666DAN... he supplied my blue led clusters for my dash and A/C and they look great...

i got hold of sum PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish stuff 2day from autobarn... did pretty well... took a while tho n i ended up using half the bottle if not more... but cant complain with the finished result... cost me $20- and a bit of work but its bettter then what it was...

as you can see... the dash is perfect blue right under the diode clusters... im thinking about changing them... i like the blue clusters and the way they are arranged, i dont understand why they dont shine thru like you would think they would... the only part that "bothers" me as it were is near the fuel and temp guages... cant see sh*t... lol

Yep for the life of me can't understand why the cluster doesn't light up right? It's as if the light guides that you have in the back aren't directing correctly to the cutouts on the new speedo etc et maybe go back to the nice stock 180kph model :/

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
