Hi 99F! Nice to hear from you again. I've got a couple homes to sell in NJ. Once I close on one of them, I'll be traipsing around the country checking out Roadsters in good condition.
I've put in a new halfshaft & wheel bearing, door lift cylinder, brake calipers & pads, Minor engine work, including MSD coil, new cap, rotor and Iridium spark plugs, and a new hi performance, all aluminium radiator. I'll list it for $25K, once I have another car lined up, and take whoever comes in with the best offer.
Good to hear from you again.

Thanks guys, but I have determined that what I really want is a Diablo Roadster. The car I have now is beautiful, but between being an arthritic 68 year old, and living in Florida, I now realize a convertible is the way to go.
This one will be up for sale, as soon as I find a decent Roadster. Thanks again.

Ccemn1, Besides being easy to install as Rodriegus says, VDO is the only gauge company that has a 220MPH speedo in a 4" diameter. A 120MPH speedo in these cars just looks stupid. That same speedo can be attached to a GPS sender which is in the long run way easier and more economical than a Hall effect or other. Be glad to sell you a set of six VDO instruments, I have them in stock.

Gauges?
« Reply #1 on: October 10, 2017, 04:16:49 PM »
I just purchased an IFG, Fiero based Diablo.
Some idiot installed all digital gauges, none of which work, except the Tach & Speedo.
Can anyone give me some tips on reinstalling analog gauges? Does VDO make gauges compatible with the Fiero drive train & electronics?
Would it be best to just pick up a set of eBay, late model Fiero gauge cluster?
Most of my mechanical skills are engine related, so I'd like to keep it simple.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
