Slater Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I basically gave up on trying to find a V70R cluster to put in my 850, so I settled on a regular 70-series cluster.It already has a trip computer, so it should be a simple bolt on swap with my current 850 cluster (that also has a trip computer).The cluster even has the same mileage as my car (it's like 200 miles off big deal).I was curious if anyone has any pics of a NON R one installed in an 850? I know wat it looks like in a 70-series but their dash plastic is sort of silver-grey to match the gauge cluster surround, so that doesn't really give me a good idea of how it will look in the 850's all-black interior (with wood grain). I'm not sure if I will like the grey faces and wanted to see a pic first.- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachnut Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I'm pretty sure ConnorB did this ... try searching for his post. Personally I didn't like it, but that's subjective. Obviously you'll have to have an aftermarket boost guage which I'm sure you already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

550 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 when you say enable trip computer... how do you mean hehe.
