[dXsquared]

YOU ARE THE SHIT PAUL!!! thanks major... i wanted some gauges and i didnt have any cash... now i have cash and free gauges! that is sooo sweet!

Travis

[Paul Aerodeck86]

Just go to my site and download it. :smokin:

[dXsquared]

ok paul... u arent the man any more! the guages are HUGE! they can even print!

WHY DIDNT U MAKE THEM THE RIGHT SIZE??? WHY???:(

Travis

[Paul Aerodeck86]

Hm... It will must print in right size in 300 dpi. If not, just set in options - print resolution 300 dpi!

[dXsquared]

well i am havin no luck... where should i go to change the DPI? i have a 5 year old printer, so i guess that doesnt help!

Travis

[Paul Aerodeck86]

Ok not the best way, but it's will be work:
Go to MS Word, insert images and set sizes of it:
Speedometer - 10.0 x 10.0 cm
Tach and FT - 8.8 x 8.8 cm

[dXsquared]

thanks


Travis

[Nate2310]

How do you see them at night?

[staticpat]

just like the howtos on making your own reverse indiglos. anything white will glow green at night.

[Nate2310]

So you dont' have to do ne thign to it, it will just glow?

[redricer89]

thanks a lot man
been waitin to get enough money and now got the for free

[87accord]

HEy i dont have ms word any other way to change to 300 dpi cause my computer wont go lower than 600 600 dpi:mad:

[Paul Aerodeck86]

I can send to you 600 dpi version. What gauges you need?

[87accord]

WEll when i print them at 600 dpi they are a little bit to small? I think it has to do with the printing software it sucks

mph_and_kmh_inward_at these are what iam trying to download!

[Paul Aerodeck86]

Yes, if you will try to print it with 600dpi it's will be to small...

[Scotts88WhiteLX-i]

so what do you do to get em? Do they have to be transfered to a plastic sheet??

[Nate2310]

How do you print them?

[socal3rdgen]

thanks paul. im going to print these babies on a canon CLC900 that we have at work. a professional print

[goldyaccord]

Paul,

If u could be so kind to send me a copy in BIN. format? I'd like to use my mac for printing.

If so, send me the MPH out/KMH inward/manual tranny version?


My email for the mac is, [email protected]

What do we have to print them onto.

You're site is real nice, good job.

[goldyaccord]

I would suggest photo paper.

Josh

[Metro]

I have to split them myself in a photo program??

[socal3rdgen]

heres 1 thing i noticed. when you open them up in a photo program. it says that the

56 dpi
3417 width
1200 height

you will need to change it to:

300 dpi
6000 width
2107 height

then you will need to change the widht and height to:

3417 width
1200 height

by the way i am using fireworks 4

[goldyaccord]

Can someone send me a copy in bin or sit format????????

[socal3rdgen]

let me see what i can do. by the way i left you a PM

[goldyaccord]

N/M... I just realized that my unstuffit also has Zip supported...

Thanks!

[socal3rdgen]

[87accordlxi]

[87accordlxi]

lol yeah thats what i was afraid of :rolleyes:

i have them printed out the right size, and believe me they look terrific, and my printer isnt even all that great. they look perfect

[86AccordLxi]

How do you put them on when the fuel and temp. guages are facing outward without taking of needles? Or can you?

alex

[87accordlxi]

w00t! one done :D

i sound like a total noob, but this kicks ass

http://server19.hypermart.net/needadll/gauges.jpg

[socal3rdgen]

how does it look with the dash lights on.

[87accordlxi]

i dont know, i took the whole thing out and im doing it at my desk

[socal3rdgen]

well when ever you put them in tonight please let me know how they look.

[BMS]

What did you print them onto?

[socal3rdgen]

i used 28 lbl photo white paper, 96 brightness

[86AccordLxi]

Do they come off as the right size on a regular size piece of paper?


Alex

[dXsquared]

can u send me a copy of the right size gauges. i wanna do them tonight, but cant get it to work!
THANX
Travis

[email protected]

[87accordlxi]

before you guys do anything, take a black sharpie marker and color the needles black. or else it will be hard to see them

and i resized them like paul explained using MS word. comes out perfect

[goldyaccord]

I'm using 59 lb high gloss photo paper.

I also printed mine but i touched it before it was dried.. so i got afew smudges..

whoops gotta do it over again and let it sit for while before i cut.

Josh

[86AccordLxi]

But do they print out the right size on a normal sheet of paper or do you have to separate them and print three separate sheets out?

Alex

do u have photoshop?

if so, go to adjust image. change the dpi from 72 to 300

Then in the pixel demension box, enter the following...

3417
1200

if u have the constrain porportions box checked.. after u put in the 3417, 1200 should automatically be enter in the next box below.

Hope that helps


Josh

[socal3rdgen]

Alright...i got it...but i couldn't print them out on one page...even as landscape. But I just seperated them out to print them. This is going to be so cool!

Alex

actually im leaving work in a few minutes so i will need to do it whne i get home. im about a hour.

aww shit! ok then!

Travis

[dXsquared]

any one else wanna send me the right sized KMH gauges for a MT and inward facing fuel and temp guages?

Travis

[87accordlxi]

all done :)

http://server19.hypermart.net/needadll/gauges2%20copy.jpg

i'll put them in the car tomorrow

[87accord]

Hey 87accordlxi could you send me those gauges prints to me cause i cant change my printer dpi or if there is a way to change the file size of it and send it to me thx:pimp:

[dXsquared]

can u slip the guages over the needles?

Travis

[socal3rdgen]

ok joe know im a little scared to mess up anything. your fuel gauge was a little above half way when you started now it is on full. will it correct itself whnen you put it back on.

[87accordlxi]

lol, actually i had a full tank when i started. i just bumped the needle sometime before i took the first pic. i moved it back where it was originally for the second

[86AccordLxi]

Joe that looks AMAZING!!! I'm still worried about putting mine on though since my fuel and temp guages face out...will it still work to put the new faces on ?

Alex

[dXsquared]

u can download the right ones on Paul's site

Travis

[87accordlxi]

ok here's the .doc file i used to print mine. right click save as (http://server19.hypermart.net/needadll/gauges.doc)

for the needles, i cut the holes out a little bigger so they could slide over the needles. for the fuel/temp gauge, i just made small slits on each side of the gauges so that i wouldnt have to deal with fitting the gauges over the needles (which is nearly impossible without making a mess since i used spray adhesive to secure them) theres no reason to believe that they wont work

[87accord]

SO what do i do when i download the doc file wordpad wont open it up?:mad:

[87accordlxi]

you need microsoft word

[87accord]

Ok cool i got word 2000 on cd but dont know the code to make it work any one know it?:confused:

[Nate2310]

Do they replace your gauges are just set on top of them??? and They will light up at night right??????

[dXsquared]

can u make a set of KMH ones for me? i cant get it to work... i got ur MPH ones tho!

Travis

[87accordlxi]

kmh.doc (http://server19.hypermart.net/needadll/kmh.doc)

im not doing that for every gauge variety, cuz its really time consuming to get everything downloaded, resized, and uploaded to my server. i did exactly what paul explained with resizing it in word, its really not that hard. its just a bit of a pain in the ass

[87accord]

I found the code for word 2000 and installing right now!!!!!!!!!:pimp:

ALso if you have a photo program try to revert the color and it looks pretty cool!!!

[87accord]

HOw the hell do u resize the pics in word 2000:stick:

[dXsquared]

hahaha thanks man! ur the shit

Travis

[87accord]

OK i think i got it!!!:D :super: :super:

[Paul Aerodeck86]

Wow! Then i sleep, you make in this topic real Hell :))
So, how i understand, my idea with þÅØÀÀ and 300dpi is not work on many computers... :-( Idea with MS Word - is not best way, because it's make small corrections on images :( I want to help all of us to correctly print my gauges, if it needed - i can reupload gauges in another format with correct dpi.

Please, write what problem do you have? And how you print my gauges? In that program?

[socal3rdgen]

ok paul first of all you did a really good job on these gauges and they are very much appriciated. anyways. the dpi that they were exported with were 56 dpi (well at least the ones that i got)on the first page you will see that i wrote a mini how-to on how to convert them using a photo program. if you want you could just upload the .tif itself. it only runs about 738 kb.

[Metro]

First I completly demonted everything, included remove the needles and the plastic plate, the I cleaned the plastic plates completly from paint and everything, then I printed the gauges out on a self-adhesive photopaper. I had already painted the needles red and made lights red.

Here is the result:
http://home.no.net/mfborge/images/accord/Accord_33.jpg

Here with lights on, ant blitz on the camera...
http://home.no.net/mfborge/images/accord/Accord_34.jpg

And here without blitz:
http://home.no.net/mfborge/images/accord/Accord_35.jpg

A little to strong light, so I think I have to paint the plates behind any just white light infont of them...

[Metro]

A little to strong light, so I think I have to paint the plates behind any just white light infont of them...

I take this from the start...

A little to strong light, so I think I have to paint the plates behind, and just have white light infront of them...

[socal3rdgen]

dont do that you just need to use heavier paper. what if you paint them to dark them it will be a bitch to get the paint of without messing the look of the gauges off. just use a heavier paper.

[Metro]

I don't really understand what you mean, I want to paint the backside of the plate complitly black so it dos not come any light through it... And just have white light shining down to them from the top...

And isn't it just one type of self-adhesive photopaper?
What I can do, is maybe to paint it white on the backside and get a little light through...

[socal3rdgen]

oh i see what you mean. that might work.

[Defiant[YD]]

i got a prob here. when i use photoshop and change the width to 3400, the constrian properties gives me a return value of 1231 for the height. (all of this is in 300 dpi, and i just downloaded the gauges)

[socal3rdgen]

the width is supposed to be 3417
height is supposed to be 1200 try using 3417

[Defiant[YD]]

shit, sorry, i did set it at 3417, not 3400. it gives me a height of 1231

[Neuspeed007]

WOW I DIDNT NEED TO EVEN ASK ANY QUESTIONS, U GUS HVE ANSWERED THE MALL FOR ME. THX PAUL
SO SOCIAL YOU THINK HEAVIER PAPER IS GOOD??

[dXsquared]

i got it! thanks JOE and paul! i printed it at school on a color laser printer and it looks great... now i just gotta find time when i can do this when i wont have to drive!

Travis

[socal3rdgen]

the only reason i suggested heavier paper is so the light does not show thru as well on the back of the gauges.

[88' Accord Ltd]

Ok so for the furl and temp gauges dont take the needles off right? and if I move the needles, by bumping them accidentally they should still work? will they correct themselves or will they have to be put back in the proper space? also does that apply for the 86-87 gauge clusters?

Do you just put the gauges over the stock ones or do you replace them?

[Defiant[YD]]

when i resize the gauges to 3417, and 1200 (at 300 dpi), they don't look right. like, i overlayed a scanned image of my tachy on top of the resized tachy that paul made, the resized one is out of proportion. so are u sure that 3417 and 1200 are teh correct dimensions???

[Smoke'em]

It took me a little while to get the sizing to work right but now That I got them printered on some photo paper on super ink wasteing mode and wholely crap they look really good and the tach going to 9 grand nice touch

Hello all. I just found this site a few days ago and came across the gauges yesterday. I downloaded the file then opened it and all I get is Russian writing. :wtf: The gauges are tight as hell and I want a set for my Accord. So if anyone can help with this I would be greatful, or if someone could send me the file to my e-mail at [email protected]. The one I need is mph only outward. Thanks for the help

I don't make any files in ZIP archive in russian!

Hey Paul when I go to opne the file from its current location it goes right to microsoft word the a screen pops up that says to translate so that it can be read on my computer I press ok then microsoft word comes back up with jusk pk then some squares after that so I cant figure out how to get the gauges to come up to print. The gauges look dope and I want to get a set in my car as soon as possible so any help would be great. Thanx

[dXsquared]

they are still HUGE!

sorry paul


Travis

[bobafett]

paul the gauges are fine. some people need to learn how to resize documents, and how to change their printer settings. if you are viewing a 300dpi image for it to come out the right size you will need to print out in 300dpi, its as simple as that. if for some reason your printer cant handle that, then open it up in photoshopl, and change the resolution to 150, or 100, or whatever your printer needs. also if you dont have photoshop. go download jasc paint shop pro. its a lot easier to use than photoshop, and i think it can change picture DPI...

good luck all. and dont pester paul to change the guage, it took me a few trys but i have it perfect now. another think you can try is "fit media to page" if you do not select that option it may print out way too big.

anyway its possible, just play with your setting.. GL. :P

[bobafett]

ps, unless you all have photo printers, it prolly wont look good. take it to kinkos, and for a couple dollars have them print it on matte photopaper... that way you get it done right.. :)

[86lxsoontobei]

Hey Paul, Ive been trying to get the gauges to open up for three days now with no luck. I havent the foggest idea of what is going on. I dont have a problem with sizing them or anything like that I just need to be able to open up the mph only outward so if you or anyone here can send them to my e-mail or post a link here to get to it that would be greatly appreceated. Thanx in advance for any help ofered with the issue I seem to be having

if u want to set them in size... use Microsoft paint... u can do it there.. U can also do what I did, add 2 9 inch black lights underneith the part of the dash where theres a lip... u know the part that has a green plastic part and theres a bulb in there, and then just remove all the light bulbs behind the dash... it looks wicked cool... check out my pics at my thread in the appearence section here is the link....

CARS7945-----take em out and redo em. you should hae been more careful and remember ed or marked where they went..but no use now....anywyas.....just have your friend drive along side you at X speed....run neck 'n neck.....see how much your off and adjust ACCORDingly....mwahahaha......for your gass ...my only suggestion is fill it up all the way...till hte pump stops...and just go off to the side of the gas station and set your gague right there before you go anywhere...to full.....yeah itll be weird doing it in a gas station parking lot...but its worth it for the accuracy u want for that gauge...


JUSTIN86---i have NO clue what you mean. PLEASE...STOP doing drugs..and clarify..,how does rims impact your speedo? and why 160?!?!?! for looks? or are you going to tell us your car does 160....i could beleive it with the other justin (turboaccord)..but i dunno...lets see a mod list here including turbo and nos...

[Justin86]

First off I don't do drugs. I'm sorry that I didn't explain myself better the first time, I was in a little bit of a hurry. My 17" rims does effect the speedo. With stock tire size the diamater is 22.5" and with the 17" the tire is 23.5" in diamater. This makes the speedo read about 4% slower. Basically if I'm doing 63 mph the speedometer is reading 60 mph. The 160 mph gauges are mostly for looks for now but I do plan on a turbo and NOS and all of the other mods. For now I only have my rims and a nice sound system. I'm only 17 so money isn't to abundant right now. Now I'm working on swaping to EFI, it should be done in about a week, but i need an (88-89) intake manifold first. I hope on having enough money by summer to get some NOS,:) but my mom might kick me out if I do. :(

ok a quick question..
i have yet to find the answer for..
if these gauges are being printed off of high quality printer paper..
how the heck are the suppost to light up at night ?
just curious... i know they go over the stock ones.. but would they still be as bright?

[87accordHB]

you add black lights in where the lip is in the cluster. At least thats what i heard. but Justin, i know what you are talking about. its like theses guys getting a 5" lift and adding 33's on and expect the speedo to be the same, the guys here know what your talking about but are just givin ya a hard time. lol anyhow, I know its late but welcome to the board. I just turned 18 so i know what ya mean about money. lol. Good luck and hope to see progress on your car. Take care.

I finished with my gauges and fixed my needles. I figured out that i didnt cut the paper out good enough so the needles were rubbing. I printed mine out in black and white instead of color. It looks bad. I also made the lights in the top blue. I will try to post pics A.S.A.P.

P.S. Thanx Jester the gas thing worked perfect.

[Justin86]

Hey 87accordHB thanks for showing some appreaciation. I was about to go off on some of these guys but my 4th period teacher started to get on my case so I had to get of the internet and start working on my house design. Hey if anybody does what size of black light to get I would appreaciate it. I have downloaded my gauges from Paul Aerodeck86 and I have made some color changes to them and they are sweet! Thanks a lot guys. :)

[87accordHB]

Good luck homes, yah i do that at my school to. thats why i sit in the cornor, if she comes...ALT+F4..ALT+F4. lmao. anywho, here is the link.

rofl? :wtf:
And Hatch's own btw.
anyways i'm not about ready to pay $30-40 for some gauges from pro car parts they jipped me once, not again, i have pauls but i'm going to have to make them fit just right, so i'll keep you guys posted, and i've bought the "aluminum" looking gauge covers from procarparts.com on ebay, so we'll see how the end result looks.
