  1. 2001 rx300, I have a gurgling noise coming from the right side lower kick panel area under the dash, by the heater and ac box. Coolant and freeon levels are good . I had the kick panel off and the sound is coming from it seems aluminium pipes that are very hot when i touch them. Any ideas what might be causing that noise. I'll try to take a pic or vid to explain more.

  2. OMG, IT NEVER ENDS....LOL How awesome is that. I feel like an amateur saying i found some nice shades of colored film to put behind the tick marks. :blushing: As soon as i have some time I'll put it together and post some pics. I'm still looking for some clear acrylic in place of the shaded faceplate.

  3. I was even thinking of changing my whole faceplate to get that bright LED glow of some of the newer models but that would be ton of modification. like your 400 but,since you said not to take off the needles there goes that idea. I have the same feeling on leave it stock but modify it so it looks factory. I think im just going to do the tick marks for now.

    I would pay you no dought, i would never take that for free. Being someone that works with his hands i know the time, patience and skill it takes. And your skills are worth it.

    What arms are talking about on the center console , the ones on the seats or cover for the cupholders ?

  4. Thanks for the artwork , Image 2 "ticks marked blue" is almost what i was going for , the speedo and tach are nice but the fuel i was thinking of maybe fading red at "E" into green at "F" and water temp maybe blue at "C" into red at "H".

    I removed the tinted plastic in front of the cluster and will mold a clear one in place of it, i haven't found the right plastic yet but am looking. I thought of just putting a tinted plastic in front of the CCFL but then the whole cluster would be blue and that's not really what i want.

    Damn, i should just give you my car and pay you to do everything cluster , LED interior upgrade and headlights....lol

    If you don't mind me asking on the RX300 blue LED center console , where did you mount the LED's for the top cup holders ? I understand if it;s a trade secret.lol

  5. Cduluk.. thanks for all your info on the cluster you sure do your homework. I am basicaly trying to make the area on my 300 that you painted on your 400 a blue , i like the ocean blue look but was the area on your 400 originaly clear or white that you painted blue? Since i work in a body shop paint is easy for me to get a hold of so i can play with diferent shades of blue. Was the blue you used transparent enough or were you just careful enough not to put too much on not to block out the light ? I thought about a clear lens but that would make the cluster a lot brighter than the console if i had to dim it down a little . I also thought of putting a blue plastic sheet behind the black faceplate and befor the clear acrylic. What kind of power is needed to light up the CCFL tube or how much is brought to the tube ?

    I love your key mod ,very cool .

    Thanks again,

  6. I was thinking " if able " to change the back lighting on those guages, would you have a pic of those CCFLs to see what they look like or not possible to change the color ?WOW just saw your RX300 led upgrade WOW. i am a bodyman for 28 yrs and love good workmanship, AWSOME. I like stock with a little twist.
