: Pics of Gauge Placement???
squeezinSE 04-09-2003, 06:50 PM Can everyone who has pics, post pics of what their gauge setup looks like?
I'm trying to avoid putting the gauges in the Pillar for aesthetics purposes.
sr20det808 04-09-2003, 07:15 PM If u don't wanna put them on the pillar, u can put them right behind the steering wheel. but would be kinda cluttered with the stock gauges. I'd just put them on a pillar IMO. Whenever I see pillar pods on a car, i know they have turbo and don't wanna mess with them(when my car was n/a haha), or either that, they're faking the funk!

squeezinSE 04-09-2003, 07:56 PM That's pretty nice...I have a b14 so that gauge placement in the middle isn't going to work as I have the TV there.
What about doing something like how WRX's STI's have the Gauges on top of the dash in that center console?
93BlackBird 04-09-2003, 08:00 PM on your b14 you could put them on that little "shelf" on the passenger side but angled towards you
coach 04-09-2003, 08:15 PM Here is a link with how my center trim will look. I stuck two gauges in some clear plexi glass in the place of the radio.

93SER 04-09-2003, 08:43 PM I just about finished mine. My goal was to completely eliminate all external gauges.

SmoothDaddyFig 04-09-2003, 09:08 PM Damn......... thats my goal too.
I just did my air/fuel gauge.
Im working on the rest.
I'll be losing the TOP tach as soon I find out how to light up my cluster again.

1fastser 04-09-2003, 10:43 PM check the pic in my sig.
I've since added a Greddy 60mm EGT to the other side of the column. Suprisingly, it doesn't block much like I thought it would.

Notice how when the gauges are mounted on the A-pillar you can still see out the window. I like my gauges to be easily viewed while driving with out having to look down or to the side distracting me. Just something to keep in mind. The clusters are a good idea too.

coach 04-10-2003, 12:47 PM Vrux - not fair on that little shelf about the radio trim there. i wish I could do that with my tach! Looks good man. Once I slap my car back together I will post some pics for you guys. Maybe over Easter break I will get most of it put back in.

I like where you placed you tach but I'm probably going to get a 3 gauge dash mount pod and place it there instead. It will block the vents but I'm not worried about it.
Hawaiiansleeper 04-10-2003, 01:11 PM vrux that setup is phat yo, sorry to go off topic but vrux where did you get that pillar mount. I have only seen the b13 go for 2 gauges, i would rather have three, better than stuffing in my cluster and everything behind my AFC. I am also thinking about taking taking a WRX or STI gauge mount in the middle of the dash and taking a het gun and form it to the dash in the middle and use that. But still haven't decided, need my other gauges first. Aight then peace

blairellis 04-10-2003, 04:17 PM nick...what did you do to eliminate the vents? that looks really good
squeezinSE 04-10-2003, 04:20 PM How hard do think it would be to cut out the center vents and put the three gauges in there? Would I need to figure out how to block the vents?
