Craig Sawyer Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Hi all - changed my dials at the weekend to some nice white ones - wasnt sure at what point to put the petrol needle back on so filled the car to the top and put the needle on at "Full". OK, but I have since done 200 miles and the gauge still shows as "Full"! Any ideas? Should I put it on at 0 and let it correct itself? I am off for a 3000 mile jaunt round Europe on Sunday so could do with a petrol gauge that works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrenn Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Hi Craig Dunno how to fix the dial, sorry... Just wondering...where are you off to that will be a 3000 mile journey! I bet you don't get back on Sunday if your average speed is less than 125 mph all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Originally posted by Craig Sawyer and the dials.... Are they MJ Designs efforts at all? PS. Car looks ace! Lovely Lexus GS300 rims on there... Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 I like the dials ,almost tempted, lovely looking car on those rims. Have a ball. Could the needle be caught, or have you checked the plugs might be loose. The guage has a memory ie stays where it is until it gets revised input.

Steve W Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Craig... What wheels are they ? How much / what sizes (?x?) I like the 'multi-spoke' designs and don't see many in wide enough sizes for the Soop ! Fat S. [ and, as Gaz says, which/how much the dials, they look very professional ? (need to replace my 'home-made' effort with proper one(s) ) ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Just had a look at the picture of your motor again Steve, just realised the MJ Designs logo on the side of the car... Was a good guess tho! BTW, MJ Designs started off doing stuff for the rovers first (did loads of gear on my last car) There dials are custom HAND MADE to any spec, style or whatever. Have a look here for more info: http://www.mjdesignsuk.com/bespoke.html If there is much interest on here I can set up a group buy as I know the partners very well. They won't take any orders for a while from individual people. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 SORRY Gaz... are the Lexus rims big enough for a Supra ? ? ie at least 8j front....at least 9j rears ? ? (Funny, I don't remember a Lexus GS looking that sporty !) (must look better 'cos they're on the Supra ) Fat S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Originally posted by Steve W ie at least 8j front....at least 9j rears ? ?)] AFAIK they are 18x10 at the back! (Funny, I don't remember a Lexus GS looking that sporty!)(must look better 'cos they're on the Supra) Thats cos its a GS300 Sport They look great on both the cars Very nice wheels... Gaz.

Craig Sawyer Posted October 3, 2002 Author Share Posted October 3, 2002 Got the gauges from MJ Designs last week, decided on the supra logo but they could have out anything on that I wanted. I know they have a freeze on individual orders at the mo, took some free advertising on the Supra during the Cannonball to get 'em and I am well chuffed! The guys at MJ are great, the quality and fit of the dials are second to none and they look great IMO. Highly recommended!! I brought the rims with the car from Japvillage (http://www.japvillage.com) - Speak to Tim if your interested, I think they go out at about £1200-£1400 + vat a set (without tyres). Cheers for all your compliments guys! I will keep up the Supra prescence in the mist of 80 porsche, ferraris, lamos (and a london taxi!!) Post pictures on my return.....
