Awesome!! Now more pics of the car!

Does that still light up red, or is it a green back light?

interesting it has the 93-95 tach location instead of the 6oclock zero. Also that after 30 years they still havent put a linearized temp gauge in with numbers looks good though!

i dont think any of the RHD gauges fit LHD FD's. You would think they would, being that they look exactly the same, but i read somewhere the plugs in the back dont match or something of the sort. Someone correct me please.

It should work if you rewire everything, but I'm just speculating. Looks very nice though.

The guages are located identical to the US instument panel. Only difference is the lack of MPH markers. It should be a plug and play assembly for a Manual Tranny FD.

Not true...

1992-1995 backlight is amber/red
1996-2002 backlight is green

Mazdaspeed gauges can be purchased in green or red backlight.

But that is a first time on the gauge... nice...

You should see the 10K Tach the Mazda engineers/designers originally wanted to go with.

I just noticed that instrument cluster doesn't have an electronic odometer...it's not a digital readout like ours. It's the rolling over #s kind. Eww. I still want the tach tho hehe

Interesting, I noticed that too. I wish the US spec dashes weren't required to have KPH on the speedo as well, as it would greatly clean it up.

It was a Mazda prototype design that was being contemplated while the FD was in it's final stage of design/development. Mazda obvoiusly had data that the TT13B-REW would fall prey to anything over 9K??
