I still need to get a peice of plexi or al. and make my stereo surround.. I'll see if i can fit my Profec B and Turbo Timer with maybe a 60mm coolant gauge.. or it'll just be the TT and Profec B side by side under the cd player. think i'll get a DASH unit and ditch the hand controller some time too hehe

I found that with an installation kit for the cd deck the unused space under the deck can be put to use with 2 to 3 smaller gauges. I only have 2 in there but i could have fit 3.

I don't want to put really important gauges that low.. like boost or what not.. i like to keep my eyes higher up when driving I'll get the p/h/w coolant so it just lights up if i'm in trouble

I dont mind having to glance around for my gauges. When I get an a piller panel I can install my gauge pod and put two more there. I can mount my turbo timer...somewhere, when I get the harness. I think I'll make a panel to replace the center ac vents when I get an electronic boost controller. An I can just mount the Safc above that on top of the dash at a slight angle to make it accesible and easier to read from the driver's seat.

Thats my plan, for now.

Whats nice about defi gauges is their link system, so if I ever decided to mount some guages real low, all their warning lights are connected, so if one goes beyond the peak setting, they all go off

I don't have pictures of mine right now, but I have the dual pod on the a pillar with my boost and egt, exactly like bl|nk, except that I have my boost in front of my egt. Same Greddy guages too.

I then put my Greddy a/f guage with my afc down where my ash tray used to be. I'll be putting my profec B in the din below my tv. See, the guy that installed all my tv/stereo/guages/TT/afc is a custom installer and he can work just about anything out of glass or whatever.

So I'm dumping the stock surround-the whole piece that surrounds the vents and deck, and he's custom fabricating one that will better fit my tv + profec and also my afc & a/f guage. He's also going to incorperate a power adapter for my ps2. It's setting me back about 200 bucks. Dude is awesome though. He did my custom kick panels, which are the best on earth. When it's all done, I'll drop some pics in for you guys.

Ive got mine setup like big retards. Water temp, oil temp and oil pressure are going there. My boost gauge is sitting in the drivers demister grill until I go buy a pod lol. Although Im going to find a 3 gauge pod for the pillar, and put an electric fuel pressure, EGT and boost there.

You mean these ones?



The Border carbon fiber meter panel is available for either 52mm or 60mm gauges. Please note that the panel is made for a right hand drive car and it require very minor trimming on the edge that meets the windshield to match the contour of the left hand drive cars.

Yo,


Sorry, no extra gauges...yet!




I might be getting a 60mm GReddy EGT gauge at some point in time.
