SYDNEY, White Indigo dials CHEAP

Post by Cohn »

Hey dudes, this is the deal,

I just spoke to El-dials wholesalers, what they are willing to do is to cut down the price on they're dials (installed) if FTO owner's do it together in a group

They are usually $300 installed for dash, $150 installed for centre console.

But he said he would accept 2 FTO's for $250 each installed, and the more people we get together who will go to them, the greater discount we will get...

So generally, at the moment i'm looking for someone else who would be interested so we can begin to shave the prices.

So, anyone in Sydney interested in white illuminous indiglo dials (el-dials)...

maximum price (should go lower with more ppl):

250$ for dash
100$ centre console

Installed with warranty...

call me on xxxxxxxx if your interested and we'll get it fitted this w.e...

Ok, I've just spoken to my friend Christian at E-Tronics (they do the El-Dials) and he said we need 5 minimum orders. They need a deposit first and need 3 days to make it. Then we can schedule different times to go it and get it fitted.

$350 including centre console. (Usually $450)

They have a range of colours (I am probably opting for the green/blue or light purple)

here is the list of blacklight options

blue/green (only one which is 2 tone)
orange
yellow
pink
light purple

one thing we all have to agree on is the colour of the writing

the face is obviously white in colour but the standard colour for writing is black (red for the redline)

if we want a different colour (say white/blue) then we all have to agree on that.

I say just stay with the standard white/black

Come on let's get 5 at least, and if we get more I'll try and get an even better price

We've got

dials

Post by elmo »

I'm intereted but...

What will be the top speed on the dials???

I've seen the pommy ones and they read to 180mph which is almost 300k's. I figure fitting the Mph converter and delimiting it makes the speedo read at a differt rate and therefore reads to a higher maximum.

Does anyone know if this is how it works?
If so I'm keen to do the mods required, can they do the dials?
and who else wants em to read higher?

I guess we need 5 to get em like that too...

The dials will read exactly the same as the standard.

If you want to de restrict yours and re-calibrate your speedo then yeah you will have to get them to make a custom one just for you. Unless you find some others who want to do the same.

FTO2sxy, all we need a $50 deposit. so they go ahead and make the 5 sets. As for installation, it's actually better for them if we go in at different date/times and you can fix them up with the balance at that time.

Ok we need one more

60 bucks sounds bloody cheap for a 2-3 hour job man! i'll mention when we get 5, that theres one more who's doing just install and work out a price... but i doubt he can work out anything fantastic since they do have to pay someone to do the job you know...
