ok... dont really know which forum i should put this in... its sorta fi related i guess... but anyone know the legality of a this... as in removing the cluster???

Farnsrocket

That looks cool as ****!!!!!!..........I don't know what would be illegal about it......is there a speedo in there?

As long as it has an odometer hooked up, i don't think it matters.. I would imagine a speedo, odometer would be the only requirement... autometer makes lots of replacement gauges for that sorta thing.. but most of the peeps that do it are....uh hm.. DOMESTIC!

show car cool... but ugly to me..

shamoo

Y0! How did you mount your turbo in there like that????

SiRkid

thats nuts~!
do you have more pics?
thats an SI right?

bigTom

hatchback...

rtype11

is that car a hitter? the panels dont match in colour or is it just the photo.
it is very illegal here for removing the cluster - you cannot disconnect the odometer, your car will be rebadged a true mileage unknown, plus you must have a speedo. looks mint though

I dont see why removing the odometer is illegal. Misrepresenting the mileage on the car is, but removing the odometer shouldn't be. Dont really know though.

Oh, and whats that below your row of gauges?

yea... at certain angles the paint looks a little off... they are si doors on the car... as for under the guages...

InfamousRS

Why did you go to SI doors? Or did you get hit, and insted of getting it fixed, you just got new doors, and they happen to be si doors?

bigTom

i got the doors with the car...

newspeedR

looks good tom... i always thought bout replacing the cluster with a tach and gauges... what happened to all the christmas lights???

bigTom

i dont know what i was thinking when i put all those damn christmas lights up... i just sat in my car enough that i realized it looked like crap... that and i have so much time on my hands that im just always messing with it

InfamousRS

Christmas lights?

i think your only problem would be trying to sell it. as far as driving goes, i don't even know if its manditory to have speedo. i'm sure many states would let you pass inspection without a speedo or odometer. except for cali of course. are you guys in california still allowed to drive cars or what???? hahaha

nice set up btw.

Kamin

its illegal because then there is no proof of what mileage the car has, with no odometer hooked up you can misrepresent the mileage allllll you want and theres no proof.

bigTom

oh well... i guess i wont know the tru mileage of my car... who cares anyway... aftyer everything that goes into my car... mileage is tha last concern someone should have the day i sell it

SpeedMonkeyRacing

damn..you have enough gauges in there?

It is not illegal. However, the title must state that actual mileage is NOT reflected.

BTW, I think it looks great, and was planning on doing something similar, just with smaller gauges.

Adampops

If you absolutly have to have a spedo, then get one of those ones that reflects the speed onto the windshield!!!! Keep the way your cluster looks, i like that!!!

JM Performance

Isn't there a way to keep the odometer connected, but just tuck it away somewhere so it doesn't show?

Prelussion

Why is that turbo on the passenger seat?

bigTom

ummmm..... to tell u the truth i dont know... was looking at it and that ended up being the final resting place

DAYUIZ

Uh.......that turbo is just sitting there right? Its not hooked up in the passenger compartment? <----me

Nice setup. I would check with the local laws before trying anything like that though...just to be on the safe side. I don't think a cop would notice it if he pulled you over. Maybe. Over here when they check emissions, they need your actual mileage on the car...so that might be a problem. As for driving around town, I don't see anything wrong with it. Probably might get pulled over for driving 100mph in a 45...
