juanchan Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Careful, it might fall off... That was my main concern for Pete! Well, that and the fact they might be fake diamonds and it's not actually gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 pretty sure all facelifts have the el cheapo (lighter) yellow ring pull flat blade type.........not sure if its a specific facelift change per se but imo at least all 93/4 model cars will have the more quality twisted braid and black 'engine oil' topped dipstick. Yep, it seems to be a facelift thing. I'm not sure if it's to save weight or money though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSoop Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Mine was $79 plus shipping from Dusty. Not a bad price at all, jut over £40.00 or thereabouts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a money thing, I mean, look at the facelift dash, it is a bit too plastic, it looks a bit on the el cheapo side unfortunetly...

Get off, the facelift dash is way better - they fixed the ghastly rubber coating that peels off at the edges after five seconds of ownership.

No but what I mean is, you know the 5 piece dash surround, I removed it the other day when I updated my dash with CF and discovered how flimsy and 'tinny' it really is...

Ian C Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 The clock cover bit is a bit flimsy and prone to jiffly squeaks but blu-tac sorts that I think the facelift clock layout is much nicer though so I'll forgive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to 'modify' my dash a bit so that the CF could go around it, I had to remove the plastic bit of the clock, you know the front bit that sticks out, and happily, the rest of the clock fits through quite nicely... It still needs a bit of 'tweaking' though as the light appears as a halo around the clock, so I need to get rid of that too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Does it say ENGINE OIL on it aswell? It has a black handle. Yeah, the quality one that I don't have any more does. It's like something from the big old days of zero cost-cutting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, the clocks as in the speedo, rev counter, boost, fuel, temp gauges The analogue clock in mine went the way of the dode for an EGT gauge loooong ago. Can't say I'm a fan of the stick on carbon effect wallpaper never quite understood it as every dash I've ever seen with it on looks like a dash with some carbon effect stuff stuck on. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Not a bad price at all, jut over £40.00 or thereabouts... £40 for a dipstick?? You could dip your whick round here for that money..... LOL @ this thread. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBDJ Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Mine has one of each... the engine oil being the yellow handled one, and the autobox being the twisted braid type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff I have got is real CF but it is the stick on version, I think it compliments my Supe quite nicely as I have a CF steering as standard from Toyota... I know it's not to everyone's taste, but each to their own I suppose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
