Well my new Speed Hut Gauges arrived and they do a great job building these things! Now if I can get them installed with minimal swearing?IMG_0322.jpgIMG_0323.jpgIMG_0324.jpg
 
Those look great in white! What color is your car? I forgot :slap
 
Red/white stripes
 
John, when are you planning the install? I'd like to come by and watch/help since I'll be doing mine sometime this summer. Also, I see that we're not limited to getting the big red triangles on the gauges. Well, that's damn cool. I'm gonna need help when I do the ordering it seems. I like what you've done.
 
Hey Pro, I may get a chance to look at it tomorrow afternoon/evening? Your more than welcome to swing by. Give me a shout (780-974-8770). Once I become a expert I will certainly give you a hand with yours when they arrive. I'm hoping to get the gauges and my lowering kit in right away as the roads are looking cleaner all the time. Can't wait to get driving! John
 
If you do them tomorrow let me know and I will walk over. I get in tomorrow evening, GTTECH can attest that I am great at hold this and pass that duties.
 
Awesome. Send me an email and I'll try to swing by around 9 tonight? I'll help Steve by doing the pass and drink the beer duties....:cheers
 
Great to see there are seemingly more and more color options etc. Guess I need to call them.
 
dang, feeling left out, I need a SF bay area gauge change party so I can do the pass and drink :)
 
Really nice looking. The Ford GT logo and shift lights on the tach is a nice touch. After you get them in could you post a video of the shift lights in operation?

I wonder why they don't ship a 30 pound boost guage standard, or do you have a choice?

Because you need to do a lot more work, instalingl the sensor in the engine compartment and then running the wires back into the dash.

Go on their website, almost too many choices
 
Believe it or not there are a few of us that still done have any motor mods.... stock pully and tune....

Ah will do, had not looked since 1st released, and was only on e-bay.

And more options than you can list if you give them a call!
 
Damn...now I'm having an issue trying to figure out what colors I want...

Ice, when you installed the boost sensor in the engine...what exactly did you have to do and how tough was it to run wiring into the cab? Can you share a quick comment on that? I spent a few hours under the dash last week installing a Garmin with a permanent under dash power source and almost died under there contorting myself...

I lengthened the harness and ran the wires thru the interior tunnel. I used the fuel pressure sensor vacuum source for the boost signal. I guess if you wanted you could run a vacuum/boost line instead of wires and mount the sensor closer to the dash. Just to clarify, I mounted my boost sensor in the engine compartment.
 
How about a 250mph speedo?

I like the shift lights too. Love to see a video also, meaning can you see them well thru the wheel?
 
Well Gauges are in! Heres a few picts. Took about 2-3 hours and no big issues. Very happy with Speed Hut! Did a great job.
