  • Re-Calibrating the needles in gauges "or w/e you call it"

    I went to install my white overaly glow gauge today, everything went smooth.

    But when I went to drive it, the rpm needle started sticking like crazy.

    So of course I try to fix it, and it ends up being worse, and accidently pop out a few needles while I'm at it.... RPM needle, oil, temp, fuel :rant: stupid overaly

    anyways after about an hour i got them as close to as they were before I fuxored everything up. Is there something I can do to get them to there exact specs?

    Also the stupid overlay thing sticks to the gauges, what did you guys do to fix this?

    thanks... ****ty day

        the trick is, u have to put them on the car while its running.... yes........... turn the car off and let it sit for a good couple hours.... so the temp settings are legit........ now for the gas and oil, your gonna hve to guess.... u should know what your oil pressure usually is at idle and cool..... for the gas u might have to just fill her up and then put it on........ turn on the car and then apply them, when u turn it on they spin up to the propper locations..

          thanks, I think I got everything worked out, the temp might be a few degrees off but no big deal, thanks
