Actually, they are horrible. There is nowhere were you can really see high speeds. Just small roads with logest roads bein just 2Kms (full of traffic lights). However, we've got a quater mile strip which is always packed in weekends and if one would really want to drive in real roads or track, then you can go to Sicily by ferry (3 to 4 Hrs away).
Thanks for the info!! I hope i could find one for a right-hand drive. (Mine is a JDM)

I use a hook to take off the door panel. Go around it slowly and pull it out. My boy help me out, he likes to do alot of interior work. But when doing it, do it slow.

I just mounted 3 gauges in the center vent of my FC over the weekend. I'll post pictures later on if I remember to take some. This thread was started by a guy with an FC, so all those FD guys aren't helping at all.
Three 2 1/16" gauges (electrical VDO in my case) just barely fit. You need to be careful how you mount the panel that you mount the gauges in to the surround or you won't get them all in. I used 4 L brackets in the corners riveted to the surround with some of those screw clips on them then screwed the plate with the gauges on it onto those. You need to do some trimming of the plastic duct behind the vent. There's a rim that needs to be cut down and some ribs in the center that need to be cut back. You also need to cut out the middle of the screw bracket that holds the surround in place. I think it's a pretty good place to mount them, nice and high for good visibility, but not too obvious either, keeping a nice balance of form, function and stealth. You can run the wires into the cabin, under the dash in in between the heater controls and the vent.
If I don't post pics in a couple days and you want to see shoot me a PM to remind me.
