Thumbs up My gauges...

Thought I would post my gauges because....just because

Here is the left side. The picture is a little rough. But water temp at the top, then boost, than oil pressure at the bottom. They are autometer ultralight pro comps.


This is my haltuner in the middle.


And my S-AFC with my oil temp gauge next to it. I need to move oil temp. I did that gauge with the drivers seat out of the car and I could see it. With the seat in the steering wheel blocks the view.

awlright, does anyone make a replacement dash for the FC's? I mean, there's all those stock gauges on the dash but if you want something better you have to mount it in some weird places (I really like your gauge on the door though ) I've seen a "digital" dash for the FD's....so anything like that for us? Or maybe just a replacement panel that aftermarket gauges could be put in?

I saw this thing in Sport compact car (not a RX-7)
...it had a three gauge pod...and you basicly put it on the top of the dash....basicly blocking the warning lights....or where ever you want to put it.

I think yours look pretty good. I only plan on having 3 extra gauges(for a while anyways). Boost, oil pressure, and EGT. I plan on putting the oil press. and egt on the pillar and the boost on the steering column. Waiting for the oil pressure gauge before I do any of them though.

Wankel7, I think I've seen what you're talking about, except the one I saw was mounted on the right hand side of the console (right behind the emergency flasher switch).

You could do what I did. Search for Do Not Try This At Home in this forum and posted under my name.

I know if you put in a single din radio you will have room under it to put the S-AFC
