Vraiment Dommage pour toi :S Ça aurait fait de belle photos, 2 noirs, 2 rouge et 2 blanche (on saurait emmanché pour cacher la partie arrière de la mienne)

On se reprend au prochain meet

Et merci à tous pour cette magnifique journée. La prochaine fois, on pourrait s'arranger pour faire un petit road trip ça ferait changement d'un meet stationnement.

Up

C'mon guys, come take a ride with us

Since it's no limit per day, here's a couple more:























Sorry if I've abused!

And an02, your Celi is absolutely sick!!!

With these mounted on it:


It's budget rims with a friendly price!

With my new rims:

Pretty nice gauges BTW petna

No it's not regulated, I've take my readings with a multimeter right at the battery before installing my gauge and I had the exact same voltage on both the multimeter and the gauge itself.

BTW, to my knowledge, there's nothing that runs on regulated votltage on our cars, exept for some engine sensors.

Thanx bboy

However, I just learned today that the mechanical oil pressure gauge is not street legal and in case of accident this can leads to issues with your insurance company, especially if fire is involved. So I would not recommand the use/installation of this kind of gauge.

I've seen some gauges kit installed in the air duct holes. Then you can use larger gauges if you don't need the air duct.

Thank u guyz Pretty easy to make in fact, the holes for the gauges are abs plastik pipes cut to an angle to have them driver oriented, and to make them hold to the trim, my friend used fiberglass. After many hours of sanding to make it smooth like it is, just paint it the color you want. I used semi-gloss but it's too glossy for my taste, I'd rather use flat black instead.

If you want to make one of your own, be sure tu use 1½" gauges, otherwise it won't fit into the second din!

Here's some more pics to help understand the process:









This is when it was ready to be painted to final finish:


And for the gauges connections, simply refer to installation guide provided with the gauge kit, be advised that you'll need some extra fittings and t's if you want to keep your instrument cluster 100% functional. Because this gauge kit is mechanical and not electrical, oil must be bring to the oil pressure gauge itself, and cooling temp sensor is a capilary type (tube filled with ether) to conduct heat. For the voltmeter, I simply connect it to my existing head unit power and ground wires. For lightning, I connected it once again to my head unit lights-in wire. Time estimated for molding: 20 hours of work, for installation: 3-4 hours. A hole week of work if you include drying times of the different steps involded. Total cost estimated: 40$ for the gauge kit, 50$-60$ of material for molding

This gauges kit from Equus is black faced gauges, but they are also available in white faced gauges. The bulbs used in this kit are #161, widely available. You can have them painted to match your lighting theme, if needed.

So who's next?

Here is my latest modz, a triple gauge kit molded at the top of my head unit. I wanted this kit to be as close as "factory installed" as possible. I ask a freind to mold it to rough, and I finished it my self, including final adjusments and finish. Here's what it looks like:









For the "low gloss" finish, I've used the semi-gloss Krylon paint for plastic, and for the final molding, the famous Mighty Putty as seen on tv The gauge kit is the Equus 1½" mechanical gauges, that includes voltmeter, oil pressure and engine coolant temp. The engine coolant temp gauge is unused right now, cuz we already have one in our instrument cluster, I'm looking for a replacement gauge. Any suggestions welcomed about it.

Let me know what u think

My celica at middle of the night

Have you ever noticed how small a 6gc is? lol





And another one, with GrimReaper's interior

Go to a junk yard or used part dealer, and take it on some other Toyota model, pretty sure it's all the same on every Toyota of those years

Hi, sorry about that, but I won't be there either. Not enough confirmed and the topic seems dead

I'd love to attend a giant 6gc meet, maybe next year!

My first ride of the year, the winter has been pretty long here

Yeah! Québec City could be very busy at that time, lots of tourists and traffic. Could be a nightmare just to go around. Sherbrooke would be a better place for shure. But yes I'm in whatever you decide. Don't want to miss that!!! Btw, any american 6gc members? C'mon guys, why not making the biggest 6g meet ever!!!!!!!

At least, you admit your mistakes. Many wouldn't say it!!

Thanx Kerosene, I'll transmit the message to GrimReaper

Ok I've found the problem.

Here it is, The blower was not functionning at all. First, I've cheked all the fuses. Take care, there's one nearby the blower motor:

All the fuses were good. Then I've check the voltage and the ground at the blower connector by backprobing it, I had 12v and the ground was good to. Next, I disconnect the blower, and with jumper wires, I connect it directly to the battery. The blower was running well, but once again, when all was connected right, the blower wasn't running. I disconnect the blower again, and check voltage, nothing!!! Stange isn't it? So then I suspected the rotary switch, I remove it from the car, and I opened it, suspecting bad contacts in it. Nothing once again. Then I've check the 12v entry, from the car, it was short to ground!!! The faulty wire is the White/Black:


Since that wire runs almost the entire car (so to speak), I've cut it, and run a new wire, from the fuse box to that white/black wire. And now, everything works just well. You see, even with short circuit, fuses didn't burn. And the 12v that I had when backprobing was the current "intended" for the blower relay, making it's way to the blower. Not enough to make the blower works, but enough to confuse me though. Just hoping this could help, if someone here encounter that problem one day. I'd like to thank Kerosene for his help!
