upgrade classic cluster
 
Is there an upgrade for my phase1 classic clocks or am I stuck with these forever.

What do you class as an upgrade?

Plenty of options available, depending on your pocket depth.

One option;

Stack Street-Race Dash Display Systems

Was hoping on a newer spec..

I also would like to upgrade my clocks...

I have a version 3 1997 sti with pre-face lift clocks I think... old fashoined revolving numbers on the speedo.

I'd like a set of clocks with digital mileage read out.

Is it possible to get the clocks out of a version 5 or 6 sti or p1 with digital speedo read out and just plug and play??

Not plug and play, no, since the older clocks rely on a mechnical speedo cable, whereas the newer ones are electronic.

IIRC, it HAS been done, but it's a bit of a mare, loads of loom cutting and joining.

Probably cheaper to buy a newer car, more reliable too.........bodged electrics have a habit of coming back to bite the bodger;)

Thanks mate... I think I'll stick to my current speedo and just live with it ;-)

The only reason I wanted to upgrade was coz the needles do not illuminate at night which is a bit of a pain... you can see the numbers all lit up, but no needles... how that got past the drawing board I'll never know :Whatever_

You sure you haven't got a bulb out?

alex_00s 10 June 2009 10:36 AM

Well there's 4 dials (petrol, speedo, rev counter and water temp) so for all 4 needle bulbs to be blown out of every bulb on the cluster would be a bit of a spookie coincidence...

...unless someone else on here has a pre-face lift dash and has needle illumination??




ps: tanyatriangles... are you friends with sarasquares?
