Feedback on my TA22 dash...

i'm only starting but after peoples thoughts on this :
i'd go the autometers for speedo and tacho, but, i'm looking at just short of $1k for both, which, um, is kinda expensive...so a bit of paint and polish on the originals to make em that wee bit unique and, well, there you go.

looks nice!
have you looked at the VDO speedo and tach?? they will give you much better change from a grand and are arguably better quality anyway...
i'm almost definitely going the VDO speedo, and may as well get the tach while i'm redoing the dash.. mmmm electronically calibrated 
speedo seems to be around $350ish, and tach from $1-200

Looks pretty sweet to me! I can't think of any valid reason to change the factory speedo and tacho though... as long as they work, what's the problem?

grega - if you need help (* convincing *) the guages to mount - ive got a dremel you can use 
bring the dash down when we have a look at the airbox on the GT4 - we'll nut something out

That looks... really cool I'm redoing the dash in my KE35 too, but haven't really gotten anywhere and don't really have any proper ideas yet...

taplus22 - thats my spare dash aye. so all good there.
just gotta mod a couple of little things
the fuel gauge will be going where the battery gauge is in the pic and the 2+1/16 AFR meter going where the ciggy lighter lives.
the battery volt meter will go in the console where the clock lives (which is where the fuel gauge is at the moment temporary) and later the boost gauge will go there too.
my good mate photochopped the other two dials in and, now, well i wanna spend more money i don't have :
fook, well, the ke dash is only a little different from the ta - maybe grab yourself a ra23/28 dash and graft bits and pieces in there you've already done the celica tacho with the fuel/temp gauge in the clock hole, so, you're getting there.
