FTO AUSTRALIA

Riiiiiggggghhhttttooooo

Building myself a custom dash... because im sick of the current one...

Have just ordered myself a new Speedo Which will sit where the Tacho currently sits (Should look different)...

The tacho will be the centerpiece of the new dash..

Other guages i already have elsewhere in the car are:
- Water Temp
- Oil Temp
- Oil Pressure
- Boost
- Volts

So all i really need is the fuel guage... Plus a few warning lights..

This is the sort of design im thinking of...

Anybody else have any other ideas?? Only want to do this once...

The warning lights will be done by backlit LEDs. Fuel warning light will be just a plain LED.




Current Setup:


New Other Guages (already done)


Centerpiece tacho:


New Speedo: (My Logo is the FTO logo)


New Cluster Setup: (good ol MS Paint)

Just designed a quick Paint version.

how do you continuously find money?do oyu rob banks?are oyu related to tony mokbel and have gold under your swimming pool or??

I work my arse off... And live for my car...

Pay little rent (share with 3 mates), do all labour myself, shop smart, etc...

Does this mean you're not going to want the Aluminium Dash Surround? I've ordered & paid for it (been f***ed around by Aus Post with the shipping though, it got to Aus, but then they sent it back to the UK - the idiots)
Should be here in a week or two, but I can always sell it on to someone else if you no want.. should be no dramas..

I've been toying with the idea of a completely digital dash for a while now (like in Toyota/Lexus Soarer - seriously, once I saw it I fell in love..)

I want one similar to this, from an Astra apparently (Red, to suit my car )


Would be cool to have a Haltech Digi Dash unit in there somewhere Dunno if they're something you'd be into? (just a thought)

Or one of these;


I imagine that there would be some dramas to get the digital dash working - wiring sensors & what not, might need to be done by a pro .. if it could be done at all. But it would definitely be unique if I ever get around to it..

I love the look of that one (runs around the house like a little spoilt kid I want I want !!)

aluminium surround? I forgot i even ordered one..

Could you try and sell it to someone else??

If you cant, i'll just buy it and sell it myself... And just wear the loss...

I like those dash's... The Haltec one pretty sure has to have a haltec ECU...

Mine is a microtec...

Was thinking about digital, but i like the style of regular guages (easier to tel when somethings wrong)...

Love the HALTECH one that would look awesome attached to by steering wheel......so F1

I picked my kmc 2006 reprint dials about a week ago and it came with the free blue uplighter. Also picked up the last set of Aluminium Cups

(How do i embed gallery pics!!!)

is that a custom jobbi?

yeah... got it made over in the states... Made it from scratch... everything from 260kmh limit through to colour and even the FTO logo...

Numbers light up bright blue... logo dark blue..

looks like its hard to read... with the fto logo going over the numbers

Maybe you should check out some nice defi gauges

yeah, I'm a little worried about that too...

but i spose i'll see what it looks like when its lit up... (description showed the logo being diffrernt colour to the numbers...

I think it should be fine as long as the numbers light up over the logo..
