I want one of 1fastT2's gauge pods to fill the empty space in my center console. Sucks that he's not making them anymore. Also, what's that you have embedded in your glovebox door?

nothing too fancy, vert panel made by myself, the panel in my coupe came from summit racing and I made it work, boost gauge in my vert is a autometer pod

I had originally thought about making a custom gauge panel to replace all the stock gauges, but now im having second thoughts and may want to keep the dash original.

my coupe, im still undecided if I want to put a 3rd gauge there or not, I was going to put a indicator light to let me know the electric fan was operating.
Pillar has a digital display tach with led shift lights all around it, factory tach in both cars is off 800+ rpm at redline





my vert

It is amazing how that painted center shroud makes a huge difference. Looks good Rob.

you got alot to look at there murray! The wolf hand controller I have gives you just about all the info you need, I was looking at thier dash set up but its big $$$$, hard to justify it for my needs.

Im going to miss my hand controller when I put the v500 in the car. I really need a new radio in my tii, im in winter mode- could care less about either car right now!

Tell me about it.

I like to have fail safes.

I have one mechanical boost gauge and one electric(contoller) just incase.

My oil pressure gauge is ****, so I needed that.

I have a water temp sensor after the thermostat to watch for failure while the PowerFC moniters before the thermostat.

I have an oil temp sensor since the PFC doesn't moniter it with the S4 banzai kit.

Then of course the wideband for obvious reasons.


.......it gets old but maybe when i get some solid miles on after the tune I will ditch the PFC commander.

Thanks! I'm using a DC to DC in-car-pc. Its called a VoomPC and its made by mini-box. It acts as a regular computer except that it hooks right up to your battery and it can handle large fluctuations in voltage and still remain powered on (like when you are starting up your car).

Heres a link to it
http://www.mini-box.com/VoomPC-Enclo...=8&category=87

The operating system is Windows XP Pro and whats also cool about this is that i have a broken video camera that doesnt record anymore. So I hooked it up via firewire to the pc and now i have a back up camera.
