Best gauge setup ever!

[vindication]

damnit, you stole my idea. I've been thinking of doing this ever since leadfoot came out with his guage pod. lucky I have no need for guages. looks better than I had imagined. good work

I haven't been laser tagging in a long time.

Haha, laser tag eh? Check this one out then:

That one shows how long the exposure time is when I take night pics. It's the only way I can get a nice clean look like in the pic where the wideband is reading 17.1, but it also means you have to hold it SUPER steady to get a nice shot. The other side effect of that exposure time is that it makes the c2's look A LOT brighter than they really are. They are bright, but not nearly as bright as they look in any pic I have taken.

acid trip anyone. hahaha

Holy shiet!

dammit this was what I wanted to do EXACTLY - except the blue gauge lights.... that is too bright for me. My Apexi mount is on with velcro, so it sits higher. I like how yours forms to the dash. Double sided tape?

Yea, I bent it slightly to fit the curve and then stuck it on with 3M double sided 5lb exterior mounting tape. Works great.

distracting much?

I'm kind of partial to my defi set up with the leadfoot cluster.

I can see with the APEX-i EGT, that a pillar might be a pain..

It's really not as bright as it looks in the pics. I wish there were more people around here that could testify for me, but crazybassmp5 and anarchistchiken have both seen my setup and can attest to the brightness.

Yea, it wasn't too bad, I got it to work so it wasn't a headache, but it still wasn't ideal in my book...

 

[Brian MP5T]

It seemed to work, just never looked finished...

Very observant! I don't know how many pictures I have seen and videos I have seen of Rich's gauges and I never noticed that.

It happens. I was trying to see what Vac his car sits at stopped, but then I saw that it was at ZERO but the needle was in the wrong place for Zero...

Guess who's back! Back again...

On another note, you can see everything!! You should be in an apple jacks commercial!

"That's 505.. he can see why his car runs so damn good, but can he see where apple jacks get's its extreme apple taste?"
