Corolla Gti Ae92 Indiglo Dash Kits

[Jmbcar33]

Hello guys,

I have sent an AE92 Corolla GTi non TVIS dashboard off to have some templates made up for Indiglo dials, just trying to gauge interest about how many to have in the production run? (these will also fit TVIS GTi's)

I have told the guys at MY Garage (who make these kits) that I don't want anything silly like Jap style fonts or other crap put on these.

They will look very similar to the standard OEM dials, except they will look like white dials in the daytime and they should be adjustable via an inverter between Green <-> Blue indiglo when you switch your lights on at night!

I have got tired of the boring, difficult to see OEM dash and as no one makes white dials or indiglo kits for our dash's I thought I would do something about it!

Let me know what you all think, I know these are normally a bit taccy but anything is better than the standard dash and these should look great at night, especially with my blue Apexi RSM and other Indiglo gauges!

I have been told that the price would be between £40-100 depending on numbers so post up if you are interested. :bookworm:

Thanks

Jon B

hi guys ,do you think you can get indiglo dash kits for the ae82 corolla gt as i would mind some of those,think they'll look just lovely in me car.

[Jmbcar33]

razmataz, the only thing you can do is send a spare AE82 dash off to MY garage. I can give you their contact details if you want?

You would also need to get 10+ kits made to make it worthwhile.

The trouble is that these cars are getting rare so even getting 10+ interested people in the AE92 kits will be difficult!

Thanks

Jon

[Antd4agze]

Put me on the list for the AE92 indiglo dials thanx

[dawesy]

might be interested but would only need speedo, tacho, fuel and temp guage as i have boost/ inlet temp, oil press/temp and EGT in the other holes

[Jmbcar33]

Ok cool, there is some interest out there at least!

I should get the templates emailed to me within the next week or so. I will post them up and let you all see so that you can give feedback. I will also try to find some pics of other kits that these guys have made.

Dawesy, I will find out how these are going to be joined together. They should be very easy to split if you do not need the complete set.

Thanks

Cool, this is definitely going to happen then . I need to get at least 10 kits made, if I get 20 made then it almost halfs the cost.

The main expense with these is getting the templates and tooling made.

I will post up some pics and more info ASAP, keep watching!

Thanks

yep i'm interested but they must have a dimming feature for long night time driving as there is nothing worse than getting retina burn from annoying bright light on a journey !?

[TOYMOTA]

JB, will the kits include different colour dash lights?

If not, I've heard of a website that do alsorts of coloured bulbs. http://www.aceparts.com/erol.html#5426x0&& . The only thing is, is that they are about £9.99 each. There must be at least 5 or 6 bulbs behind the dash!

[TOYMOTA]

What sort of look are you going to go for Jon. Are you gunna loose the KMPH, and anything else that doesn't need to be there, so there's a minimalist look to them?

[sussex_ae92]

would be cool if you could loose the kmph?

[Bass junky]

Nice idea funally someone is doing things for the mightly AE92s

:ater

[Jmbcar33]

You will not be able to fit different colour bulbs to these kits because the Indiglo is created by two sheets of electro-luminescent (SP?) material. there are no bulbs anywhere in the kits! :bookworm:

When a current is passed between the two sheets, they glow! I believe this is what is used in all proper Indiglo kits. :hokus-pokus:

I will ask whether these will have a dimming feature, I know that they will have the transistor thing to change between greeny and bluey Indiglo.

I thought that it would be best to keep all of the text and fonts as per the original dials because if we start getting into all the different fonts and variations that people want then this will take forever and these kits may never get made! I think that this is the best way to please everyone. ;)

When I post up the templates then we can all have a look and make suggestions etc.

I'm fine with the font. But I do feel the standard one looks cluttered with the KMPH on it.

Will see what the template looks like.

[Jmbcar33]

First template.......

I will be posting pics of the various indiglo options that we can choose soon. We can only choose 1 style for the whole batch.

Thanks

They are looking good Jon, but why dont we have the TRD logo etched onto the speedo dial just above the speedo needle? I know TRD do replacement dials/clusters too.

[TOYMOTA]

Looking good JB. I'd be happy with them!!!

[Jmbcar33]

Hello Nad,

Yep we can easily have the TRD logo put on these, as long as everyone is happy with that. Any suggestions people, just post them up!

Also we can have reverse indiglo so that instead of the whole of the dial glowing, just the numbers and logos do! Tends to look a bit more classy.

I will post some pics tonight if I can find some......

Thanks

Jon

[sussex_ae92]

looking good.will be happy with these,although trd would be a nice touch,and probably be a damn sight cheaper than genuine trd!
