And anybody know if I can relocate the logicon?

I was thinking of the gauge pod in the middle and then logicon in the glove box.

Of course you can, the question is, do you really want to?

As far as physically doing it, you'd have to either extend the wiring or make patch cables to provide the extra length necessary...pretty easy stuff (although time consuming).

As to the reason for doing it...you might want to think about it.
The logicon location is not in direct line of sight, so you must glance down to view it.
This would be OK for relatively static/unimportant gauges like fuel level or volts but maybe not so good for critical/fast moving things like pressure or temp.

When I had gauges below the logicon, I found it distracting to monitor them.

Before you go to the trouble, make some round disks the size of your gauges and tape them over the logicon.
Drive around and see how you like the location, how frequently you glance down to read them and whether it seems convenient to do so.

I ended up moving the warning light cluster and putting gauges in it's place...better, but still not ideal, IMO.

Obviously, the ideal spot is just where Mazda put gauges...the main cluster at the steering wheel.
A much larger project, one I'm still mulling over.

Sorry I wasn't specific. I was going to do a triple gauge pod where the logicon is, then move that into the glove box on the passenger side. So if any of the buzzers go off, I can just pop open the glove box and check. :icon_tup:

I do a bit of drifting so I was going to have a water temp, and oil pressure gauge in that cluster. Not sure what else since I'm n/a.

I had a few of them custom made a couple years back. Only 1 left. I sold them on this forum for about $80 each.

^ Only one left is in your car isn't it? I love the interior and exterior of your vert man. It looks great, and is a little inspiration for my black vert.

My old TII's interior. Mostly stock, but super clean.

Those automatic 2-point belts seem kind of unsafe to me for US safety standarts that is...

Boost Lee 12-30-09 09:11 AM
