I was thinking about buying a 140 MPH gauge cluster... so hopefully someone can do me a quick favor... Can someone with a SS/NA take a picture of their gauge cluster at night and lit up? Pretty please???? (or if someone can find a pic, that'll work too...I couldn't seem to find any)

bump... just one picture...that's all :P

 

I have these Call and tell them you want the ebay price, you'll get the faces and install kit for $30 shipped

 

i just bought 1 off ebay 25 shipped lt lights up white / blueish ill try to post up a pic

 

It's the same selled as ebay I paid $30 to get the install kit but you can do without the install kit, you just need something to spray soapy water and something to smooth out the boubles.

 

i think there is one in my set...

 

Ok here's Joe's gauges

 

those came factory in my LT.. its part of the sports package..

 

disregard the photoshop

 

Mine came with them too. At night, the white face becomes very dark grey / black and the numbers light up.

Thats what they look like, but I have never seen the tac go that high before. Isn't photoshop great....

 

Actually i used mspaint

I am teh leet haxorz at mspaint

 

lol the tach or the speedo... would be nice if the 2.2 would do that with out much mod though... maybe one day........ i think its gonna be justa bout impossible wit my auto though..

 

You know what you are.

I have a 2.2, came with them.

 

If there's no governor on the 2.2 sport i should be able to make it that far with nitrous

I need to put my car on jackstands one of these days, remove the tires and freewheel it up there and see if it does in fact cut out

 

I have read from others with the sport package thats its around 124MPH. Never tried to get there to check myself.

 

the sports cut out at some where around 125-127.. i've had mine up that far a few times.. thats where the gov stops it at.. if you could remove the gov it would go even faster cuz thats at the top of third gear (i have an auto) and its almost ready to shift and keep goin at that point... to bad the only way to tune or change any of that is with a piggy or stand alone.. if hptuners ever comes availble for us then it would be possible with no problem..

 

I wasnt aware there was such a thing as 2.2 sport. I have an 06 2.2 LT and the govenor kicks in at around 125.

 

you most likely have the sport then.. i didnt know mine was the sport till not to long ago.. lol the sport comes with the white 140 gauges leather wrapped wheel and shift knob fog lights painted interior pieces 16" alloy wheels and a few other things too.. and i think thats what all the LTs are.. correct me if im wrong on that..

 

I've had mine slightly past that and it was still EVER SO SLOWLY accelerating. I dunno how much higher it can go

Only the '05 LT

 

yeah acceleration gets pretty slow after bout 105-110.. thats cuz the ecu starts cuutin the fuel back so it cant go real fast... really sucks cuz the 2.2 really has a lot of potential but cuz of the ecu bein so hard for companys to crack to make tunes for most of us are stuck not bein able to do a whole lot with the car.. and mine is an 06 LT that has the sports package..

 

Cuttin the fuel back? what are you talking about?

 

from what im told the ecu starts to cut how much fuel that gets sent to the engine.. im not sure but i dont think it ever actually gets 100% when you press the throttle fully to the floor..

 

In that case the throttle body would have to start closing to keep the car from leaning out very badly, if the throttle body started closing, you'd definitely be able to hear it cutting

 

well i may have been misinformed bout this but it does kinda make sense.. at least to me it does.. i think thats what the actual cut off is too.. maybe im wrong though.. just goin by what im told..

 

Yup, I actually have those right now.

HAHA fckn awesome. That's what I thought they looked like. I love that glow look (and the 140...I know it's only appearance, but idk...i just want it haha).

I pretty much screwed up my gauges by putting white LEDs behind them. I gotta figure out a cheaper and more efficient way to do it. I figure I'll take my stock gauges and use them as a project for a while and just switch them out when I'm done... Hmm maybe I can switch the faces, too. IDK I just gotta take a lot more time next time....5 fried resistors make your car smell like **** for days... Condensing that down to a 2 hour project is a big no-no. I don't know how fast I'm going at night now, either!!
