Gauge holder I made

its cute and stuff.

Dust adds horsepower btw..

Clean your car, put a gauge in the middle (or move the two closer together), paint the panel the same color as the HVAC panel, and take another pic.

That looks absolutely terrible. And what about a radio?

[darkhorizon]

I forgot to say that I am waiting on a giant boost gauge thats going in the center.

[CincinnatiFiero]

Doesn't the horrible note of a 3800 wear thin with no radio? Why didn't you knock out the stock GT gauges like most people?

[Unsafe At Any Speed]

Kind of a long way off the road to look.

[Atilla the Fun]

looks carefully done, but I won't be copying it.

I hope to move the wideband and just move the more useless gauges to this plate.

Just because I dont have a radio going in there, it doesnt mean I wont have a nice stereo.... I have been hooking up just my MP3 player lately, and it has a FM radio even... so I plan on just plugging it into a hidden 100watt kenwood 4 channel whenever I want the radio. I usually find it easier than dealing with dash install kits, and underpowered headunits.

I also have 2 working and useful gauges in the stock AUZ gauge pod... I dont see any reason to trash them just to replace them with $100 worth of aftermarkets.

[CincinnatiFiero]

100 watts is good and your headunits are underpowered compared to that? I think its time to stop buying DUAL headunits at walmart....

Why go to the trouble and expense of adding "useless" gauges?

I thought I had no pride in the appearance of my car... but god damn.

Amen. I look forward to his definition of a "nice" stereo. Is it one that actually makes some noise?

All of those gauges are worthless, especially for the bigass ricer boost gauge. All you need is a normal sized boost gauge, and WB. The rest don't need to be there. And even the boost and WB you should almost never be looking at, unless red lights start going off.

galvenized is the new woodgrain.

Ya mine needs paint bad, but goddamn! it has all the correct pieces that aren't broke or fucked up, and it's somewhat clean and it doesn't have some ghetto rigged gauages or shit where the radio is susposed to be.

I said "more useless" .. I dont think I need to have the oil pressure gauge staring me down on the top of the dash cluster... The center radio area is not the place I want to be looking as I race down a track, street, crowed ricer hangout.

My 100watt amp is about 1/3 the size of a headunit, and makes just as power as any head unit realistically does... I previously had it hooked up to my kenwood excelon headunit because it was a ton better than the built in amp.

I'm even more confused. You don't want them "staring you down" from the top of the dash cluster, but then you say you don't want to be looking down a the radio area, so why put them there? Are you just not going to look at them? If not, that brings me back to my original question - why pay for and install them if you're not going to use them?

[CincinnatiFiero]

100w is nothing, thats probably like 9 rms. A decent headunit will do 19-27rms. Stop shopping at walmart.

Didnt I say that I like it better than my excelon? leave it alone dude, its a god damn radio, and I like it...

ok, the gauge plan here is not that complex...

i want the wideband in my field of vision for when I have the pedal matted.... the LESS IMPORTANT gauges would be better off over on the center area.
