Does anyone have any fitted? Im thinking about fitting 2.

I was thinking oil pressure and something else. Cant decide on another one. Would it be posible to have an inlet temperature gauge? Could maybe tap into my raceland enclosed? Or does that sounds stupid. I know a few turbo'd cars have this but I havnt seen it done on a n/a engine.

Anyone got pics of their gauges aswell? Im looking to go all white to match the orignal speedo etc.

look shit unless you take your A pillar off cut them out and fiberglass them sand it and then obviously paint it aslong as your doing that itll be sweet
do oil pressure and volts or something

i think the temp would be quite a good idea but as said before it needs to be done right or it will look chavvy

Yeh thats my plan. Was going to try and paint it the same colour as oem. Only problem would be to get the same surface affect.

Your other one could be a volt meter, pretty pointless gauge though, and you don't need to mod the pillar you can buy pods which clip on and dont look too bad to be honest!

I was thinking just using an ambient temperuture sender. Just need to find a gauge. Anyone seen one?
