just wondered if there would be any interest in white dial kits, i know there are a few diferent models out there, we have made some for 98 UK model, i think its MY, we are looking for feedback, these dials are white during the day, blue at night but can be switched to green by pressing a button, also a dimmer is incorporated. was wondering what model if any is the most popular subaru, we couldnt possibly make them for every model as 100 has to be made just to cover tooling costs.dont know if we picked the right one with 98 MY model ? any suggestions ? cheers nomad

I would be interested in a set for the new (2001/2002 new look). Lockwood the usual supplier of these kits tell me they won`t be producing a set for these models for six months. The type they supply are dial faces only. A green back lit would be ideal as Defi gauges (white dial) faces are back lit green also, so anyone adding Defi gauges and considering changing the standard original black dials averything would match up perfectly.

basically they are the same stuff as indiglo, dont know whether indiglo dials change colour at the flick of a switch ?.i am in talks with a dealer because i really dont know the model sort, i have been told pre 98 but someone has now said they changed mid 97, i have 100 kits coming in tomorrow so once i get them sorted as to what model they are for, then i will let you know, what we dont want to do is let people down by supplying the wrong ones for your particular car. the retail by the way is £120 inc vat, will look into possible additions for later models, cheers nomad

nomad > it's what I do! It's all down to getting the orders in to help cover the costs. Drop me an email if you like. As you say, the tooling costs are not cheap, so it's not something we've pushed for development yet.

Thumbs up

Danny, Ican indeed, as can nomad. He's already sorted sets for thepre '97 scoob so we probably wont develop those, but others are in the pipeline. Check out my homepage link if you want to see what we can do

Nomad/Mook, I have seen these sets before, they are ok on Revs/Speedo, but not for fuel and temp. Do your kits have this issue sorted?

Nomad, follow the link below. The only problem with this kit is, as I said the fuel and temp gauges are wrong for a UK MY97. Hope you can help on this issue!

The kit is for an Subaru SVX, but not far away from the scoob.

Marc, yes the needles do need to be removed. Be careful when re-installing them. The dials looks the mutts nutts..... Top gear.

Anyone fitted these to a an early Jap spec car, eg; MY94 WRX?

Just curious to know what the difference between a jap spec dial and UK spec dial is.
