Nexus Gages - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Luey2049 · 06-11-2008, 01:05 AM

I finally found a shop to install my nexus gages! I like the Mach 1 gages but I personally think that they are to difficult to read. I was hoping to see other examples of gages you guys went with.

Final install should be done Thursday pics to follow!

Are they putting them in your gauge cluster?

Luey2049 · 06-11-2008, 01:36 AM

No I'm using this panel. You lose the check engine, e-brake light traction control indicator ect... But I'm not worried about it.

What about an odometer? I see a trip meter in the speedo but its not big enough for an odometer.

Luey2049 · 06-11-2008, 10:56 AM

The odometer is in the speedo.

That's gonna look sweet. Can't wait for the pics.

sweet can't wait to see the final product!

Hmbre97 · 06-11-2008, 01:24 PM

Those kinda look like the gauges in my Civic.

Luey2049 · 06-12-2008, 06:17 PM

Well its going to be at least one more day

The shop is having trouble bypassing Fords passive anti theft system, Which must be turrned off for the car to even start with the factory gauges removed. Plus the extreme time difference here in Hawaii isnt helping with contacting Autometer or SCT. Anyone out there have any info that might help?

Another Mach owner in Ewa, COOL!. I'd like to see your ride in person if possible since you have similar stuff I am going to install.

have your SCT Dealer turn off the PATS system in the tune...............mine has been turned off for almost 3 years now in the tune

Sure any time you want to meet up just let me know. I havent seen to many Mach 1s around Oahu.

3150Mach1 · 06-14-2008, 02:49 PM

I went with a MRT cluster made by Simco

Luey2049 · 06-16-2008, 11:14 PM

This is starting to wear on me! The car should be ready tomorrow but Wendsday at the latest. I know its not the shops fault and Bill the owner has done alot of leg work getting the whole PATS thing sorted out but man I want my car back!

jledesma · 06-18-2008, 11:58 PM

Well I picked the car up today... with the stock gauges reinstalled. The shop thinks there is a problem with the nexus routing box. They said that when they tested it with a multimeter they had power up to the box but they couldnt get the gauges to even turn on. Do you think I could send the routing box to Autometer and have them test it for me? I'm kinda at a loss and dont know where to go from here.
