BLKMGK Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 YES! The Autometer tech told me late last year that I migth want to hold off buying my speedo if I wanted a trip meter. He said they would be moving the Carbon Fiber gauge's LCD trip meter and odo over to the Phantom line "soon". Well, I just checked their pages and the new lineup is in! Oh yeah - I love it. Waiting paid off for once!

They still don't have what I want in an in-dash tach though unless I buy the carbon fiber gauge - doh! They DO have an Ultralight that goes to 200mph for Mr. Kelly though Also, I've E-mailed EnergySuspension to ask them what flippin' motor mount they sell that will replace the GM mount JTR specs. They've got a mount that looks "close" and the description fits but looking at the pic I just don't see how it'll work mounting to the setback plate - does anyone else? Theirs have these "ears" that stick up and don't mount flat.... [This message has been edited by BLKMGK (edited February 12, 2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelly Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 I would like Autometer to make the 200mph unit in the Phantom series... I'll get the ultralight if I have to, but I'd rather have the tach and speedo match the rest of the gage bezels! I'm glad they do finally make a 200mph electric speedo though! Those will be bought next month, along with the 1piece front end from MAS!

Andrew Bayley Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 Mike, Do you mean a 200mph Phantom "Electric" speedometer? I've got a 200mph Phantom mechanical speedoemter for the Z dash. The picture I've got is really grainy, but if look real closely, you can see that it counts up to 200mph in 40 mph incraments. I'll admit that I originally did this for "rice". However, it's very nice at the drag strip because 100 mph is pointing straight up. It makes for an easy reference. -Andy [This message has been edited by Andrew Bayley (edited February 13, 2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted February 14, 2001 Share Posted February 14, 2001 Yea, they make a 200mph mechanical unit, but only a 160mph electric unit...

DavyZ Posted February 14, 2001 Share Posted February 14, 2001 I'll do fine with the 160mph unit, thank you very much! I like the looks of the new guages and now I know which way to go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted February 15, 2001 Author Share Posted February 15, 2001 Grumble - edit the silly post and the URL stuff stopped working.... Sweet gauge for the street oriented but Mike actually wants to hit 200mph I just wish they had a Phantom that looked like the Ultra with the tach recall (shrug). No response from them on that or from Energy on a motor mount. Anyone put one of the regualr tachs into the dash? I think I've asked before but spending serious coin on a tach, taking it apart, and then not having it fit right would "suck". Thankfully I'm not to that point yet - still got to get the motor in and I'm making progress on that just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 I put the Pro-Comp In-Dash 5" tach behind the stock Z tach's bezel/lens. Pretty easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted February 16, 2001 Author Share Posted February 16, 2001 Thanks Pete! I JUST got my (very) short answer from the Autometer folks. It was "You could easily convert the 5795 to a in dash mount. Simply loosen the strap and mount in dash." Sounds good to me! that tach has what I want even if the Ultra in-dash version looks slightly better. I'll deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
