Gauges are off, needle problem?
OK, so I did the whole "DIY Custom Gauges" I didn't break any needles, or do anything funky.
1) The fuel gauge is off because i filled it up friday, and now it says in running on empty. 2) The Rpms start off at 3rpms....not right. 3) I drive a standard, and it seems that the speed at which I used to change gears is not the same. I made sure that the gauges matched up perfectly. Anyone have ANY idea what I can do?

Re: Gauges are off, needle problem?
When I put my gauges on I didnt even take the needles out...I just slid them over the needle. The only one i had problem with was the small center gauge face (temp and gas) and what i did was take off the gauge face, put a piece of 2 sided tape down, and stuck the gauge face back on and everything was back to normal
Before I put the 2 sided tape down, I think the gauge face wasn't completely flat so it was touching the needle, therefore not letting it be where it should be at.

Re: Gauges are off, needle problem?
well you know whats wrong so adjust in you head what it should be at. not a hard solution and helps prevent idiots from wantin to drive your car. Scare them about how powerful the engine is that i needs to rev at 3k or it will stall out or something.
