Dash / gauge options...

Bradleyrj · 04-28-2009, 10:12 PM

Thinking about doing something like this in my Fox. 5 inch tach, 5 inch speedo, and probably boost gauge in center.

Then oil psi, water temp, and fuel pressure on A pillar. Volts, fuel level in gauge cage in center vent.

Thoughts?

5" looks to big 3 3/8 fo speedo and tach would look better.

FUCK THEM! I called with a technical question a few weeks ago because I was pretty ready to purchase and got the run around. So I decided I'll do it myself before they get any of my money.

some setups look real nice but a old Fart like me with no money wont spend money on anything that doesnt make the car go faster and those guages arnt cheap.

since you are looking for opinions, i will give you mine. I think when people put that many gauges in a car it looks ricer.

The only "addition" will be the boost and fuel pressure. I thought about not putting the volt, fuel level and speedo in it. BUT since I drive it on the street more than it sees the track. I figured I should go ahead.

Now I agree it would be EASY to rice it out..but eventually I want this to be a race car I drive on the street sometimes. I just cant afford to do it in one swoop right now. Gotta do it in stages.

VOLT OIL AND WATER TEMP are the most important. a car can run so poorly without proper voltage. that one should not be left out

I wouldnt leave it "out".. just not put in on the dash. Mount the volt meter near the battery in the rear.
