Sweeping dials....
Hi everyone, i've searched on here, SIDC and Scoobypedia and can't get a definitive answer to this one.
Today my new car arrived on a transporter from Litchfield Imports, JDM STI Hawkeye on a 55 plate (still showing as for sale on the web site). The owners handbook says the dials have operational lightup/sweep as an on/off option but i can't get it to work. Does the JDM Hawkeye have it?
I've read somewhere it's a cluster out job and it resets the odometer!
If so why is it in the car operation manual....
If anyone can help cheers!

From what I gather a "standard" MY06 Spec C onwards, does NOT sweep from new.
I have spoken to Iain Litchfield about this in the past, as I thought it was a quick software hack in Ecutek etc to enable it, but that wasn't the case.
The clocks/dashboard part have to come out and I believe a part is added. On Iain's original T25 website, in the available extras there was a "Spec C Dashboard dials sweep" for about £90. Link here http://www.type-25.com/pdf/MY07_Type25_options.pdf
The youtube link belongs to CallumW and was for certain a Spec C, as I remember commenting on the sweep action when I saw him at Silverstone a while back.

Translation:
Heres what it says:
Initializing the Indicating needle
For red luminescent and white luminescent, upon turning the engine switch to "On", all 4 meter indicating needles will indicate the maximum and then immediately return. (excluding STI spec C)
Setting Method
STI indicating needle can be set or deactivated using the method below.
1. When the engine switch is at "ON", and REV Indicator Setting **** is turned either to the right or left, setting or deactivating can be done by pushing the Trip Switch/Trip Meter Reset ****.
When this is done, the buzzer will sound and the external temperature display will change to the initial start-up display. The initial start-up mark and "ON", or "--" will be displayed.

Still don't know why some Spec Cs have the sweep from new though...Maybe the importer programmed it

Lovely motor mate. Seen it a few times. Very quick and should be a smooth drive! Congrats!
You should be able to get the dials to sweep with all the instructions above but if you're not winning give Iain/Matt a quick call.

Davey L,
Congrates on your new purchase.
Word of personal advice..... get the whiteline adjustable top mounts, rear uprated arb and alk fitted. Along with a geometry set-up, it will transform that car.
I drove it some months back and compared to mine, the "feel" was a country mile apart.

i plumbed a new headunit in yesterday and being a dvd/monitor it's wired into the handbrake.... Doubt it's that cos i've done a few of them and never had this problem but i'll check it out tomorrow. Fitted one to my blobeye ages ago and that's fine.

The whiteline kit was ordered today and should be fitted by Friday. Front and rear adjustable anti-roll bars, anti-lift kit and adjustable top mounts. Got to be done before the highland fling so the sooner the better as far as i'm concerned. Cheers for the tips guys

Yeah, the handbrake light thing doesn't worry me. I'll sort it out when i can be bothered. The dvd works the 'legal' way i just disconnected the cable to to the handbrake when it had it's MOT at the start of the month.
