Default Where's the Guages??

Allright everbody has either played where's Waldo or heard of it. But instead of finding Waldo, we are going to play find my guages. Sorry its kinda stupid but i thought it would be funny.

Can you spot them??


Nope not there..


Your getting warmer...


Now your on fire...


You found them.....


So what do you think??



Sorry for the stupid game and bad sense of humor, but i finished my guage pod today. The oven was a perfect spot for me, i didn't want any guages on the a-pillar or cut into the dash. So what a better place then in the oven, and you can shut the door if you dont want to see them. Im sure this has been done a thousand times, but i thought i would show mine and get some feedback on it. There is enough room on the end of the panel to put a third guage, EGT, when i have enough money to get it. So lets hear it, and i will post more of how i made it at a later time, when i have more time and my fingers aren't hurting. Enjoy.....

Very stealthy of you. Looks like a nice clean installation.

the egt gauge is only useful if you have a turbo.

He has a boost gauge, so I am hoping he is already f/i.

Wait a second. "Boost"? You've got a forced induction xB? Let's see under the hood!!!

Cool idea for the location of the gauges, but digitial doesn't do a lot for me unless the whole inside of the car is digital. Something about mixing analog and digital seems funny. But its still pretty cool the way you did it.

Boost?? Whats that i've never heard of that, isn't that a cell phone company. The guages are only for looks, i just wanted to be cool. HaHa, no im not boosting yet, but it is on its way, right now im just getting everything in place for going F/I. but once its done you can see under the hood and all the good stuff that goes along with it. Does anybody want to see how i made the guage pod, if no i dont want to spend time writing it or putting pics up, but if you do then let me know and i will take the time. Oh and dexter_5000 only turbo's or Sc too....

its a good idea. definatly different. but the rush of no going back while drilling a hole into your dash is just soo worth it.
