Nope, I ordered from a guy that is not well liked in the RX-7 community due to some previous transgressions. But Dorin48 and i probably spent 5-6 hours wiring up the gauges and cutting the C/F to accommodate everything.

I make about .7 bar lol. I have been looking to go to this style gauge for about a year now and someone had them for sale so I jumped on em. I was also sick of staring at my Auto meter gauges and need an excuse to cut the C/f up and finally install it. The C/f has been sitting in my garage for almost a year.

Sorry left that explanation out. I bought these second hand hand and the guy had Bar and EGT. Plus Bar is a shit ton easier to read. to the govanator PM sent.
