so, ive finally picked up my friends dashcover but it turned out it was the wrong color. anyways, im done with the gauges since almost everything is hooked up, and im almost ready to wire up the engine now and put everything back together. so tell me what you think guys.

im pretty close to throwing the giant tach out as its garbage to me, and i kinda like knowing what time it was, so its not in my new setup. and yes, i need all those gauges cause im a gauge whore:wave:

still gotta get a new dash cover as this one is currently broken into 2 pieces cause i had to fiddle around with wires to get it in.

we're in a contest to see who can use the most gauges. seems like it may be a tie.

altimeter as in voltmeter? its in the very bottom pod. ive grouped them so the top 3 are temperature gauges, the bottom one is a voltmeter, and the 2 on the dash cover are pressure gauges(oil pressure and manifold). to make it even more distracting, the temp gauges are red, pressure gauges are green, and the voltmeter is plain white. ive even got a place figured out for my wideband and megasquirt. those guys that want the SE-i cupholders will hate me when i post up a picture, good thing im greedy cause i had 3 sets and only 1 set was demolished.

ohhhh, in that case, i have a set of clarions that i bought a couple years ago to put in. i can always go baller style and get alpine type R's in there, but thats overkill for a guy that listens to the radio over a CD, but i believe the type R's are reserved for my skyline over the accord:cheers:

Altimeter as in Ampmeter??
Sweet gauges! If you were to buy each one, that would be at least $15 per gauge, so about $90 if they were all $15...
Is that one on the far right your A/F gauge?

Type R's aret teh sex!11~!\

its all autometer stuff, and each one of them were atleast $50, the most expensive being the EGT at i think $140, but when i bought 5 of them, they gave me a free voltmeter. the one on the far right is a vacuum boost gauge, not an A/F gauge. i have a wideband that sits nicely in the center console that i just didnt put in yet

you don't have a gauge that tells you how much danger there is to the manifold do you?

^^ I'm with bitesize... It does look better than before... but still kind of stupid if you ask me.

Absolutely no need for half of those guages at all.

That was my first post, and I edited it. I thought that was what he meant, but I though it was Altometer... don't know why...

i actually had a nitrous gauge at one point that matched the entire set of gauges i had, but i didnt want to run nitrous cause i consider it too costly to run.
