Sorry if the title was misleading....but they were free

I just decided one day that I wanted white gauges...not that Im racist of the black gauges.....hahaha

But yeah, I also painted the thingy that goes around them to match my interior.....(the dark blue)

Let me know what you think. I like them, my friends thought I bought new gauges.....until I told them that they were paper

Inwo

This is false advertising. I want my free gauges.

83_Camaro_83

Well they are free, all you have to buy is a printer and some paper.....

i wish they had black backgrounds with white numbers for the 91 style gauges.. i hate the yellow stuff, but im not too fond of the aftermarket gauges, mainly because id have to install them... lol and im lazy

83_Camaro_83

I used to have that stupid dual needle speedo (cause im in canada) so i just took the original numbers and streched them out so it would still be accurate, then just simply snapped off the second needle......lol **pats self on back**

iTrader: (1)

Looks awesome man. I hope they're fairly accurate... Now I wanna do that....


...wait, you put mph around the outside? in big?

83_Camaro_83

i knew someone would notice....lol theres one more mistake, first person to figure it out wins my car.......picture.

The MPH is the only non acurate one.

take the MPH X 2 = your km/h on my speedo

I know my RPM though lol

"But officer, I was only doing 2500 RPM"

Im just to lazy to fix it, and when I do, Im gonna print them on photo paper, instead of just regular.

thanx for the compliments peoples

I like 'em, good job!

Are the graduations on the oil pressure gauge fuxx0red?

"take the MPH X 2 = your km/h on my speedo"

....wait, so it goes up to 280 kph then?




lol 2500 rpm. I cruise at like 4500 in my dad's jetta. But that's because it's not mine. And it's a turbo. Like to have it spooled, just in case.

83_Camaro_83

Nah, oil is good

And yes, lol 280km/h speedo....I have an ultra fast 2.8L

1983Fbody- thanx dood

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

Meh. You'll need it with the 355.

BlackMagic

Very Misleading, but they do look nice. Its really nothing i would consider doing to my car personaly, because i love the stock design. I do want to change the lightning behind though, just been to lazy...lol

theshmo891

how about a picture at night?

83_Camaro_83

Yeah I'll get one of those, they look great at night too

Ryan- Yes I will **dances all around** weee

Mr.W

Is it the water temp guage?

Thirdgenz

Is it just me or does your water temp gauge only go to 125

kammi10

iTrader: (6)

maybe the oil pressure guage reads like 0 275 and 350?

83_Camaro_83

canada everythings different

The water temp is fine, the oil pressure is fine.

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

Oh, I see it! According to the gauges, you're currently idling at about 800 rpm, yet you have no fuel, no voltage from the alt/batt, and barely any oil pressure?

easySPEEDcamaro

lol

it's a magical engine

83_Camaro_83

Lol no thats not it either, i have heard alot of thirdgens do that, In fact, if you pick up the latest issue of Camaro Performers you will see thiers is at like 1500 with the car off But still not it lol. Are you like studying the picture hahaha. If your that bored go play Agressive Alpine Skiing

easySPEEDcamaro - The magical 2.8

83_Camaro_83

LOL I always have no fuel....I get 9.81 MPG....seriously I put 5 bucks in a day, so the gauge is always there

jojo22

and the water temp is almost at a normal level

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

well, there's the fact that there is no yellow zone, it just goes to red... (on the tach)

Or is it because you spelled camaro wrong?



























..made ya look

Zed'er

You covered the trip meter.

Cadillac

I suppose it looks good but if you lived in a humid location wouldn't this end up wrinkling or fading to an ugly brown color?

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

The air where he lives is about as try as it gets.. though time will tell....

83_Camaro_83

LOL Ryan you ***, I almost cried when I seen "you spelt camaro wrong" fastest scrolling up I have ever done. Then after I thought you were on crack i seen "made ya look"

And wow, No one has found the other mistake....haha, and if they get dry/wrinkly, I can just print out more

gipraw

looks good ..

other issue is the speedo needle.. all the others are totally white, the speedo needle is only white to the hub.


and as Zed'er said .. you covered the trip meter

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

LMFAO

I just cracked up. And my dad came in and asked wtf I am making noise about at 12:15 am lol

83_Camaro_83

Never noticed that, but not a mistake I made

stingerssx

145kmh? Does the metric system measure speed slower when you go above 200kmh? Is 145mph the same speed as 145kmh?

83_Camaro_83

That should be 245 probably

I need to make a new speedo, cause thats where all my problems are....

1985WS6transam

iTrader: (4)

is it that you covered up your trip odemetor(bad spelling). Or is that in a different place on camaros?

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

and dont your mph numbers go up in fuxxored increments?

83_Camaro_83

lol this turned into a scavenger hunt.......

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

Heh yeah it sure did..


Hey does anyone know how to get the faces out of a Firebird?

jc265

83_Camaro_83

jc265

1985WS6transam

iTrader: (4)

h/o so what is it, did you cover the trip odemeter?

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

no that wasnt it

83_Camaro_83

Ha, so many responces, wouldnt you guys be pissed if i said there wasnt anything else

MetalliCamaroRS

iTrader: (15)

Not bad... I'd redo the speedometer and cut out the rectangle for the odometer a little neater as well has paint the needles to make them easier to see.

83_Camaro_83

yeah the speedo is the worst part.......I seen your guages, you used a red felt to color the needles right? yours looked good man

wpaskar

I see a bunch of mistakes ..don't get me wrong, I like the idea.

-you covered the trip (been said)
-wouldn't you put the km/h on the outside of the gauge in larger numbers instead of miles?
-the 40 miles label is offset from the rest
-one of your km markings has been cut out where the odometer is
-your small markings (km or mile??) seem to be messed up quite a bit (why not leave miles off completely unless you plan to go driving to the states anytime soon...who wants to go there anyways? kidding!)
-the 145 marking far on the right side seems to be in miles, not km, but has the km size and location
