Some pics of my gauges, wheels and completed motor

here area couple of my gauge setup,,i have Autometer airfuel and exhaust temp gauges in the pod and an autometer boost gauge will be going where the airvent in the door used to be. also i have them both hooked up to the red flip switch in the console,,for two reasons A. the A/F gets quite anoting at night sometimes and B. the flip switch looks pretty damned cool





And here are some pics of my wheels,,,don't laugh they were pretty cheap and i stole them off of my probe before i sold it,,but they are better than stock and well worth the $200 i paid over a year ago.





And finally here is one of my completed and as of today running motor,,i know you have all seen one before but i was so excited to get it running that i just had to share my joy

I have a 88 se and its charcoal grey, some idiot painted the rims and some of the other parts gold with spray paint - it looks hideous. I like the white gauges you put in. I am thinking about putting some in like that - how hard was it?

the gauges aren't that hard to put in if you are comfortable using a pair of wire pliers. the pod is an easy install,,the only pain is running those wires everywhere and then tucking them away.

You're doing a good job on your car. Keep up the good work. I want to put some R1 Gauges in my car which change colors all together (after I put my TII engine)
