[Mk2] [Generic] dials

[GAZGT]

Well thanks to JohnnyC emailing me the file last night i did this today.

I no there cut bit ruff round the needles but had to much experence breaking needles before but i think ther still look good












I left the IMOC logo on thought it was different and a good advert ha ha.

I think it just brightens the int up a bit with being all black

Thanks again johnny well pleased.

Well now the modding has begun

The Imoc-UK logo is the OLD one circa 1999 (When I drew those dials)

The tread pattern on the Tacho is from the USA original IMOC logo.

Blimey, that was quick

Look good, more colour in them than my Speedhut dials.

I like them . They're different and that's what it's all about. If we were all the same it'd be boring.

If you want colourful, don't look any further than a set of the plasma dials! I fookin love em

I got a mate who has a vinyl cutting biz to knock me up a lil trd logo to personalise them a bit

In daylight



At night


I just wish I could get the EL on my turbo timer (thing sat in front of the clocks) working now It comes on every now an again but I can't figure out which wire into the unit is the EL's power

They are nice mate i like alot

Cheap too! If you buy a set (or any set of the dials for that matter) and want the TRD logo (or any logo) putting on them then you could get them posted to my mate (BK DESIGNS) and he'd be able to make, cut, and put the decal on the dials in the specified location for a small fee I expect.

Where did you the the IMOC logo'd dials from mate? They look good!

PM me your email address and I'll email over the Imoc Dial template...
They were hosted on Imoc a few years ago before the forum was moved / re-created.

Just tell me if you need the:
140Mph - UK Coupe
160Mph - UK
110Mph - Japanese 180Km/h clock without a speedo converter
180Mph - Japanese 180Km/h clock with a speedo converter

JohnnyC emailed me the file after i asked about them on the forum

Thay are great and free cant go wrong

[Tsunami]

How well do these work at night?

[GAZGT]

How well do these work at night?

i took the black covers off, So now they all light up but you can see some workings of the clocks so turned the dimmer down a bit but i am fitting red leds at the front of the clocks so insted of back lite they will be front lit and think that will look better

I will get a pic tonight as they are so you can see

Look good, more colour in them than my Speedhut dials.

For reference... SpeedHut, these are one of the original batch:

I am working on a custom set using the image Paul sent me, however, I am concerned that the segments won't be very well lit at night. I am thinking of cutting the major ones out, after all in the daytime they will still look black, but at night they will let the light show through from behind.
Any thoughts?

They are nice were you get boost gauge from (what size?) I wouldnt mind finding a volt gauge simular

[Tsunami]

OK, here is what I have done so far:



Likes, dislikes flame/hatemail, proposals for marrage etc?
These are not finished yet, still not sure if I am going to keep the waves in the background...
Also, do I need to keep the KPH section of the speedo? Just seems to get in the way and look fussy to me...

[paul port]

That's really nice as it goes....
Top effort!

By the way, I've emailed all the other dial types over to Ben Formesyn who will be hosting them up on IMOC in the coming week

Pics at night and just put a stainless sournd on to but cant see that to well at night

[paul port]

Yes... that looks familiar...

The toyota illumination system was never designed to illuminate an entire dial face evenly.

Even the 'numbers and divisions' on the rear of the OEM dials needed a pattern print on the rear to even out the light.

There is little that can be done to improve it I'm afraid...

If you are skilled with a scalpel, you could always make cut-outs and just paint the rear black to prevent the whole face illuminating.

cheers for that paul got them today
there going on tommorow
