That tacho was also optional for the N1 race version of the DW Demio ;)

The circuit board won't live in the cluster :rolleyes: and the guage would sit sandwiched in behind the front panel. It's a very tight fit.

Looks very original yet looks like it should have been there in the first place ;)

Did you end up fixing all the niggly things for roadworthy?

MazdaSpeed DW Demio tacho :D
Work stuffed up my last pay so i've delayed the rego process for a month. Only two or three things ATM and it's the kinda stuff a mechanic has the right tools to do.

I've been collecting parts to re-attempt the climate control conversion.
Below is the front wiring loom I've lovingly removed from a CBAEP.

I'm using a spare guage cluster so don't worry about the 180km speedo.

if you rev it past 5400rpm (in 5th gear,) it is gonna run off the 180kph speedo. lol imagine 10/11/12,000rpm!

silly japanese clusters...

you still got the tacho with the 7250rpm redline on it?

Cosmo Dude 14-06-2009 04:52 PM

When it all goes together I'll put the tach in the original dash with its 240kmh range. The 7,000rpm tach will probably just gather dust.

Fitted my polished door sills today.
Ended up using using Champion PP13 screw grommets. They fit the holes perfectly. Pics are in my readers rides, click the green link below.

The rear dust boots were busted up. I've ordered some new ones so I can't install them this weekend :(

chrisw 25-07-2009 12:08 PM

Cosmo Dude 26-07-2009 02:18 PM

chrisw 26-07-2009 04:42 PM

I've fitted the fronts and have about 30mm drop but as it isn't registered I can't give them a workout. Rears are waiting new dust boots.
My springs are ment for a V6 so will be a little higher and a little stronger than I4 springs.

That's a drop of 40mm although it doesn't look like it.

I wasn't pushing the suspension hard but the ride is firm without being hard and the car felt solid.

project.r.racing 09-08-2009 10:53 AM

thats 40mm? i thought 40mm would be more. hopefully they settle 5-10mm more.

what size are the tyres? 185/60R14 or 185/65R14?

I hope not, I like having some ground clearance.

185/60/14 front, 185/65/14 rear. I intend changing to 215/45/16 when I install the 5-stud hubs. They should fill out the guards nicely.
