the 98+ odo has so many more things on it than the pre 98 so you couldnt change them... or maybe you can... i know to get rid of the ugly orange, you just need to change the bulbs.. i know the 92-93 doesnt have an outside temp. thing... What do you mean about trip computer??? you mean instead of the little box, it has a long line with all the info??? heres a pic.. hold on. here is mine...


the post. pic isnt working, and hasnt worked for the past 2 months... something is ****ed up with AOL...

 

Ok...hmmm, Lex, did you notice what KIND of bulbs they were? I mean were they soldered on there or socketed?

Eh, sounds like a DIY project...wonder if I could get some of those super bright mini LED's back there...

 

I would like the same info? What watt bulb and how may and what size. Thanx

 

I believe they use 505 sw8 bulbs... i could be wrong... this could be the bulbs for any part of the car or the older model.. i just remember seeing it...

 

The trip computer is a LCD underneath the clock LCD that has temperature, a count-up timer, instantaneous MPG, avg mpg, and avg speed. You can't see them all at once, you have to scroll through and look at each one. Its not like the green dot matrix strip display in the LS 400s if that's what you're getting at....

 

Black94RX-7TT, do any of these meters work on a pre-97?

 

yeah, i know what your talkin bout... i took a pic of my scs dash before it got wrecked, and im tryin to upload the pic, but it doesnt work for those of you who dont know what it looks like...
btw, a 97+=98 dash will not work on a pre sc... for numerous reasons.

 

It won't be plug and play, there will have to be more wires to support the trip computer at the very least. It may be as simple as changing the pinouts in the harness, or it may have been a total redesign, with digital signaling, and all sorts of other nasties.

 

does someone want to find out if it is possible to do this??? That would be really sweet..

 

Bah, that's more work than I'm willing to do for a new instrument cluster! Thanks for the reply though

 

But do you think it is possible to do?

 

Of course its possible...anything is possible....how much do you wanna spend?

 

My friend Lenny told he was willing to spend `1k for the new cluster and instalation of the 98 and up one.. possible for this price?

 

Maybe. Like I said, I don't know what's involved. If there are digital signals being fed to the newer cluster, then you'd have to reverse engineer the signals, then build a box to replicate those signals which would cost WAY WAY more than $1k.

 

damn, i thought 1k was alot... more than1 k would be a hella of a lot.
