Ver 2 of Kevin's Blue light special, pre order part 2

ejicon 11-18-2000 12:23 AM

I'd be in, but you live in Texas... me in LA.. sux.. =P
Bankheist 11-18-2000 12:26 AM

Ejicon,

what does you living in LA have to do with it??? The stuff and detailed instructions will be mailed to you...

*confused now*

Are you clear on this now

I think you should post the instructions up here. Personally I wouldn't want to go tearing into my dash cluster unless I knew exactly what I was doing...
Bankheist 11-18-2000 12:45 AM

This is from Matthew Nelson (thanks for the PM man!)
[quote]Hey, Kevin -

First, I'd like to congratulate you on your effort. I've been praying somebody would figure this modification out sooner or later.

I do have a couple of questions, though.

1) How much time is required for the install? Usually, the difficulty of the install can be translated into an amount of time. Are we talking about a half-hour to accomplish this, or two hours, or more? [/quote]
30 minutes to 45 minutes....its not hard... you just have to be gentle, and carefull..take your time...its very delicate behind that glass!
[quote]
2) Why is it not possible to change the illumination color of the clock? Is the clock a separate unit with its own display? Is it possible to replace the clock (or just remove it altogether) so that the display isn't almost all blue with a green clock display?
[/quote] the clock's led IS green wheras the ODO and the gauges are white light with a green filter over it... you can remove the clock... I wouldnt advise it unless you could cover up the hole without noticing... im sure if you took you dash to the right store..they might no of someone who makes a different colored clock... but i cant change the color using filter alone [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smile.gif[/img]
[quote]
3) How did you accomplish the blue lighting? I've been following some of your previous posts, and it seems that there is a filter mounted to the back of the display that "cleans" all of the wavelengths of light except for green. Would it not be possible, with further experimentation, to find a way to change the illumination to colors such as red, etc?[/quote]

well the color is hard enough to get... I have to use 2 sheets of blue per gauge to get it that blue... one sheet looks like aqua...cool, but not cool enough for me. you have to remember... no matter what.. you are still dealing with that green filter... no way to fight it... if someone came up with a way to make red...it would be cool...but i don't if i would like red to go with the red gauges... might be overkill you know?

[quote]
4) Finally, what's the cost of this entire setup going to be? When I say "entire setup," I'm referring to the blue gauge display behind the steering wheel, blue climate controls, blue everything! Does this include such things as the hazard lamps button, foglamp button, etc.? Is there a way to do this?[/quote]

it will be $15 for speedometer, tach, odo, gas/temp and A/C.... I really don't like my A/c design... I really and honestly dont want to sell it... I think it's gettho... but it turns out to look really good!!! but the premise behind it is very simple!!!

The buttons... well I was thinking about doing that... It will probably not be much of a problem, its just now that I have about 50 orders to deal with here... its gonna be a pain to do those buttons... if demand is high enough... I'll research whether or not you can do it...

Well, if you guys have anymore questions... try and PM me if you can..
Thanks you very much for all the interest you have shown here.

Hey Buddy- I want the Gauges and climate Blue Backgrounds. Are you charging more for Both or 15 inc shipping for Both? I am IN either way. PM me! Elliott***
Bankheist 11-19-2000 08:15 PM

Elliot, and everyone

It's $15 for the instrument panel... but since in my opinion the climate gagues are ghetto in design but perfect in what it accomplishes...I'm giving it away for free.

I guess I'm generous. HA HA

-Kevin
Velocity 11-19-2000 08:39 PM

I don't suppose the Legacy gauges are the same as the Impreza gauges, are they? I mean, other than the fact that the RS ones are white, and my GT's are black... [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/frown.gif[/img] Hell, I wonder if I could swap them out?

Anyhow, does anyone forsee any reasons that this wouldn't work on my GT? I mean, I'd probably have to cut out a different design (unless somebody wants me to pay them to do it for me. Heh heh), but otherwise, can I expect similar results?

Thanks
Bankheist 11-19-2000 08:47 PM

hey if its made out of that same green stuff. sure you can turn it to blue...no probs... git me apic of the GT's interior and I'll see what i can do with it

-Kevin
BigElm 11-19-2000 09:26 PM

Damn Bank'...you're on fire kid..... [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/biggrin.gif[/img]
LongIsland RS 11-19-2000 09:29 PM

I noticed in your pic that the zero on the tach is still green....as well as somewhere around the middle of your gas gauge? Why is that, and do you have some clearer pics and pics of the climate control too?
Bankheist 11-19-2000 09:43 PM

Damn, you got a good eye!!! those pics are of version 1...which failed!

Version two is the same color...but much better!!! Good eye man, you work for the police or something?

-Kevin
BigElm 11-19-2000 09:55 PM

Oh Bank' pleasseeee!!!
Since you were emphasizing so much that is was your "Version I" mod...that's why nobody jumped down your throat...hehehehhe [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/biggrin.gif[/img]
Bankheist 11-19-2000 10:05 PM

Thanks Elm... i think you were complimenting me [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smile.gif[/img] thanks [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smile.gif[/img] so how's you're phone buy coming along?

Reiflex 11-20-2000 12:12 AM

Bank,
this is a question about the PM you gave me...

[quote]Reflex!!!!!
[url="http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/Forum26/HTML/000297.html"]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/Forum26/HTML/000297.html[/url]

Don't start selling that ****!!! I'm sure it works, but heres the catch... most likely your gauges are ****ed up! Mine are! Subaru is ordering me a new one...
[/quote]

Your ver 1 or the process Warped you gauge face and caused you needle not to work properly. Do you know what caused it, and or what you did to correct it in ver II.

When I was developing my mod (I'm sure must be simmilar to yours) I never ran into this problem at all and couldn't figure out how it could happen. In the development phase I went as far as removing the needles & gauge face, and my needle still work perfectly.

The mod I've done is proven and installed on other RS's other than mine with no problems at all. ( and I'm only what I've done only becuase I don't know all the details of your, but I'm sure both our mods are almost totaly identical)
When I've personally shown other how to do and they too just scratch there head trying to figure out why you think it wouldn't work and how you messed up your needle in the 1st place. You've mention that at 1st you use two layers, but it would take up to 5 layers to even get close to displacing the gauge face.

So, What happen with yours is it any differnet from the way I did it? You can check my current post were I've layed out everything I've done or found.
Please don't take this as a flame, I'm all about technical information that I hope helps others [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/biggrin.gif[/img]


[i] hey that's kinda cool that the board automaticaly cleans up the harsh language, i like it.[/i]

Andrew 11-20-2000 12:14 AM

Hey guys, quick question..I was showing my friend the blue gauges and he was wondering if its possible to do it to his car as well ('96 MR2). Could he do it to his car with the same method as you guys are doing it? Thanks for the info guys, greatly appreciate it.
Reiflex 11-20-2000 12:30 AM

BTW
Currently I am not 'Selling' the mod.
I'm giving it away free and installing (well actualy I just show them an let them do the install work since it so easy [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/wink.gif[/img] ) for local folks and for people out side the area or state, I'm just ask they cover shipping (ground,next day air, whatever)

Andrew,
It all depends on how your friend instument panel was designed to have the color it has, Film based, Bulb based, ect. The only way to tell is do like we did, have a go at it.

If anyone else is wanting some tech details about the mod or have additional ideas there's is a post about How to do this mod. ( I'm sure that both mods that Bank & I offer/showing are praticaly the same, but bank can confim how they are different if they are) Soon I'll adding in how to get to the instument panel.

Bankheist 11-20-2000 05:53 AM

Reiflex, since I am about to go to class in a second... I really don't have time to go into full discussion about the mod, lets put it this way. The needles arent a problem any longer.

Also, I would prefer that if you are directly speaking to me in a post, that you simply PM me, thats what the PM function is for. I'll write again in about 3 hours when I get to my desk at work.... what am I supposed to do? WORK? ha ha!

Andrew, I'll respond to your I'm as soon as I get in. Thanks for the business buddy.

Talk to everyone in a couple hours...
-Kevin
Bankheist 11-20-2000 09:25 AM

I know what caused it... it was the design rubbing on the needles and the fact that my piece was to large to smoothly slide behind the gauges.... your piece is basically the same design as my version one... so how u smoothly get it in there...beats me... thats why I made my version 2, which is a whole lot easier.

Personnally I want this bickering to to stop, im really tired of it.. you can sell your knowledge or people can buy from me... it all depends on what the consumer wants. If the consumer is like me... he/she wont want to go thru the tedious process of getting the cut just right (I know you know what I'm talking about), they wont have to go searching for the right material to use. Just simply recieving everything they need to use in the mail from me.

So can we make an end to this?
-Kevin
hoodwho 11-21-2000 12:04 AM

I agree. Its not that i cant go and figure this out. i dont want to. I have other thing to do with my car besides pretty lights, i do like it though so i'll spend the WHOLE $15 bucks (materials & shipping) to make it that much quicker, so i can finish my stereo!
(much more fun, AND easier for ME.) thats why other people pay for car audio installs, the dont want to do it, or cant. I can, so Ill do THAT myself.

thank you both for the efforts!
Kev watch for my check.

Wow, talk about alot of replys.

I went today and took a look at Kevin's mod and it looks really good. Doesn't look or sound too hard to do if you are careful and it does change the way the dash looks in the dark.

And when was the last thing you did to your RS that cost only $15 ? Heck, a tank of gas costs more than that.

I have a group buy of over 30 orders comming in from Vancouver and at least another 15 from Toronto .... I am stepping up production as we speak!
