I have been searching for gauge faces for a while now. I found one i really like but it only reads to 110 mph. I have a 1990 240sx. I am looking for some faces that read 180+ mph that look like these. Anyone know where i might find some?

you're probably not going to find indiglo gauge faces that read 180 mph. why do you want them to read that high in the first place?

If you are on the track why do you need to know how fast your going at those speeds? IF your that worried about it get an aftermarket gauge. If you are on the street going well over 110. I hope your roads are better than most places and I hope you have more s*** than just gauges upgraded lol.

thread is full of fail, you just can't get new faces that show different speeds i hope you know that. it that was at all believable, i would make my own to show me going 55 when i'm hitting the triple digits

you can;t just slap a ricer sticker over to read 180MPH, you need a new speedo...

good luck with your high-speed runs...

Alfa Otto is the company that makes them.

To everyone else that is bashing me thinking i dont have some BA car. You are partially right. For the most part its BA but im not acting like its the fastest thing alive. As for pics, i will soon, i have a few things to do before i post pics. As for the mods it will be posted on another thread along with pics as soon as i get it done. Im glad you think this thread is a FAIL seeing as i had a simple question as to where to find some. One can not know all therefore i didnt know where to find some gauges like these. I have seen them on a 240 that read 180 exactly. Just curious as to where. L8r

Sorry but if you was referring to me having nitrous on stock ka then your retarded. I dont have that engine nor do i like nitrous. Now if you have nitrous on stock ka then you might wanna give up on the car scene.

Im very aware of this, problem is with a gauge face reading 110 its kinda hard to tell how fast your going, hence why i asked about the face nothing more.

So please, instead of getting defensive, just let everyone know what exactly you have under the hood, and where exactly you are going that you need to know your exact speed over 110mph. I don't think you need to start another thread just for that. Unless your another one of those HYPE people.

My other thread will be of the project ive had, i personally want to post the pics and mods on the same thread to let people see my project. No point in ruining it on a small thread about gauge faces lol, kinda pointless IMO.

You'd get flamed a whole lot less if you had something to back it up. No offense but this thread is pointless. I do however look forward to seeing the car.
