Why would you do that. If wanted I had a SE cluster with indiglos already installed sitting around here. That way the speedometer would be accurate

What the hell is wrong with your tach?

And yeah, like someone else said, why did your old gauges do 160 mph? Only way is with a SVT cluster.

So you had to have installed regular V6 overlays on a SVT cluster.

I did NOT have an SVT cluster. I had a 96 LX cluset.. and it went to 160MPH / 260 KM/H.

It is a canadian cluster. ANyways, I fixed the tachometer, and installed it.. looks awesome!

And the colors do vary quite a bit, I guess the photos dont do it justice or your have a crappy monitor. lol

The photos look fine in showing the color variations. Looks real good, too bad I'm not more into the full indiglo thing.

That seems really wierd. Why would any Canadian cluster show miles (default), period, let alone 160 mph?

It doesnt show miles default... it shows KM... I put a miles overlay overtop.

Ill get some pictures of my old guages since none of you believe me... not that I am even defending anything. Just wanted to know about the inverter, which in fact did NOT have enough power... the guages (all 6 hooked to the inverter) are very dull in the blue colors... and are very bright when only 3 or 4 are attached. I compensate brightness for all of them being the same color.
