sticksR4chics97 10-05-2005, 06:09 PM i payed 95.87 for the guages, but the naked lady was 5 bucks adn the upgrader inverter was 8..so the pink gauges them selves were 84 or 85..and my c/f gauge bezel was 15..
*~Daaaamn~* 10-05-2005, 06:17 PM where do you people find all this money?!

*~Daaaamn~* 10-05-2005, 10:08 PM *tear* they're so beautiful...
sticksR4chics97 10-05-2005, 10:15 PM :Dthey are bright but yes a tear jerker..lol
Sanguinius 10-06-2005, 12:29 PM Those are hot yo. I tried to get a set from Speedhut for my Sentra but they don't have the GXE model gauges only the spec-v SE-R I talked to them and sent pics but they said it'd be an extra 20-30 (I can't remember) to have the die cut for mine :( and mine were sitting at around $120 as it was. Needless to say I'm still gaugeless currently.
*~Daaaamn~* 10-06-2005, 01:52 PM how can you tell how fast your going?
Sanguinius 10-06-2005, 02:09 PM Prolly the reason I keep getting tickets.... Maybe I REALLY should look into them a bit more LOL. Usually I just gauge the speed by the sound of the engine and the gear I'm in... ;)
sticksR4chics97 10-06-2005, 02:35 PM try this site.. www.importintellegence.com
Sanguinius 10-06-2005, 02:44 PM You mean www.importintelligence.com? LOL (Misspelling is a B**** when related to going to web sites LOL
Sanguinius 10-06-2005, 02:47 PM Oooooo those XTal gauges are HOOOOOOTTTTT I want THEM!!! and the needles!!!
*~Daaaamn~* 10-06-2005, 05:23 PM i would never be able to tell how fast i'm going...thanks God for speedometers...
Sanguinius 10-06-2005, 07:30 PM LOL Who needs to know how fast they're goin as long as it's faster than the cops....

Isnt that the truth..LOL..Sorry about the misspelling earlier, Hick town education..;)
Sanguinius 10-07-2005, 08:44 PM Yeah notice the fact that I quickly noticed it and "helped" you spell it right LOL (Lil bit of hock town in me too LOL).
sticksR4chics97 10-07-2005, 10:06 PM yea, i saw that;)
Sanguinius 10-08-2005, 02:04 PM D'OH your misspelling is contagious :(
Silvertooth 10-15-2005, 03:08 AM It's fun to watch, though, lol. :)
Lil red 10-15-2005, 12:54 PM Here we go again.. Way off subject! But i will be looking for new gagues myself... Tired of looking at the stock ones.
How hard are they to change? Should i have someone else do it for me?
Sanguinius 10-15-2005, 03:24 PM They can't be TOO hard the idiot that owned my Eclipse previously (The one that told me that it was a 5 speed and he swapped it to auto and that it was a turbo but he blew that and swapped in a N/A engine even though there are no mounts for a clutch pedal present or even marks where they would have been and there is NO remnants of the intercooler or anything and a carfaaax report pulls up that it is a GS but he DID install a new gauge face that actually works so it can't be TOO hard)
Silvertooth 10-15-2005, 05:00 PM Wow. That is one interesting Eclipse you have. And good job without the punctuation, lol. I actually got out of breath just reading it. :-p
Sanguinius 10-16-2005, 12:44 AM LOL Yeah essentially the guy didn't have CRAP in it was JUST starting body work and got bored w it. The guy told me "A simple valve job and she'll be running again" YEAH right... I pulled the valve cover off the engine won't turn and there's a rocker lyting NEXT to the valve... There's also a 1/4 inch track cut into the timing belt about 1/4 of an inch from the engine side of the belt. My guess is the timing tensioner let loose and let it jump a couple of teeth at a time eventually enough to shove a valve through a piston (My guess is the guy had NO idea what he was doin with that car prolly over reving it when it happened).
Lil red 10-16-2005, 12:47 AM Nice money pit you got there.. i smell a rebuild. screw it just get a new motor.
Sanguinius 10-16-2005, 01:08 AM I been lookin for a new motor but I'm thinking I'll just pull it and go with a rebuild. if it's the block I THINK it is it SHOULD be the original 6 bolt 4G63. I think I'll rebuild it in my livingroom and prolly build it to be turbo MUAHAHHAHAHA
Lil red 10-16-2005, 01:10 AM I knew a guy that had to move a tranmission outta his bathtub to take a bath... also his motorcycle was parked behind his couch for the winter....
Sanguinius 10-16-2005, 03:54 AM LOL jeez I don't plan on bein THAT bad LOL.
sticksR4chics97 10-16-2005, 04:26 AM No they are not hard to put in....:D

Sanguinius 10-21-2005, 05:19 PM Wait a sec now how do I owe you a PHONE?!?!?! Maybe a call but not a whole phone!! And you DON'T wanna know SOME of the things I'M good at ;) LOL (Actually I'm working on trying to get back in a shop but not being ASE hinders that slightly)
