All plug and play? Everything work?

 

Completely plug and play. Took about 10 minutes to pull the old one out and throw the new one in. It's pretty cool. I have a "range till empty" instead of a maintenance minder on it.

 

Range till empty... cool... no MM at all??? makes me wonder... How about that damn TPMS nanny light?

Great mod I've been dreaming about that for over 3 yrs now.

 

The gauges look bad@$$ and I'm major jealous!

Also--the carbon fiber wrapped glove box looks amazing. I may have to do that and just start practicing with this stuff. Amazingness!

I will have something to report tomorrow afternoon

 

Dayum man... das fluggin' nice.. But whatcha doin', testing that 'range till empty thingy?" That meter should be closer to the F than the E..

 

No MM at all that I can find. The range thing is pretty cool because it goes off your driving style and avg L/KM (mpg). I have TPMS's so Idk about that one. I'll probably always have them too.

Thank ya thank ya!

Lol I haven't put gas in her in almost a week and a half. I'll probably fill up tonight after work and really test out the range. Also I typically don't run more than half a tank just for the little bit of weight savings

 

Jamy, let us know of any other differences as you find them. The gauges look real nice!

 

They're a little dimmer on full bright than the blue, but that was expected. The warning lights are in a few different places. Like E brake light is next to the fuel needle and its looks like "((!))" instead of a red "BRAKE" on the USDM. The turn signals are a amberish green instead of bright green. Just little things so far that i've noticed. Oh and the Redline on this one starts at 6500 RPM vs 7000 RPM. I can make it go into the 7100 range though no problem.

 

Started my retrofit

 

Got my throttle controller in and working. Thanks Java*

Higher sport modes are insane. Its like on/off throttle lol.

 

Beat a 4cyl accord today. What Could be more embarrassing than getting beat by a virtually stock at fit.

 

The FE range is somewhat accurate, does always adjust per your driving or lack of driving (sitting in parking lots that pretend to be expressways). Looking good, this is something I wish auto makers would offer as options. I for one really dislike the blue guages that come in the Fit there and much prefer the amber/red offered here. How hard would it be to offer that as an option for the buyer, since both are already being made.

Back on topic of this thread...NOTHING. Still awaiting clutch and final drive to show up, the diff showed up Friday evening as I requested.

 

Well for the first time driving at night with the new gauges. My lights on the AC knobs and the Radio buttons don't light up at all... I'll look more into it tomorrow. Had too much of a headache to mess with it tonight. Checked the "small lights" fuse and it appeared good. Maybe a different fuse but not sure. Hopefully I can fix it.

 

Got the accessories bag that should have come with my cargo cover and put the hooks on to raise the cargo cover when opened. Still have to put the snaps in but that'll be for warmer weather (and when I have more time - Buying a new house!!!!! )

Went ahead and pulled the JDM gauges to try and diagnose why the radio/AC control knobs don't light up. If anyone was wondering the PN for the JDM gauges for an Automatic is 78100-TF0-J215. That's a zero after "TF" btw. Still trying to find the PN for the Manual gauges which I'm thinking may be causing the problem. Not sure. I'll update as I find out more.

 

If you put your OEM guage back and everything works as before, then the problem is the JDM guage. Otherwise, it is something else. Just my suggestion.

The different between AT or MT guage is the AT shift indicator.

 

It's the JDM gauge. I'm still trying to figure out what it is that is actually controlling the lights coming on at all and if there would be a way to manually make them come on with out the input from the gauges. Fuses should be the same too unless there was a difference between the GE6 and the GE8 but I doubt it.

 

The MT gauges also have a 6800rpm redline versus the AT's 6500.

One question I had about the replacement, did it read your miles from your ECU or something and convert to km or what?

 

Got my Osram CBI bulbs

 

It actually stores mileage on the cluster so the cluster only had like 100 km on it. So pretty much, mileage wise, I "had a new car" lol
