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.

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!

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?

on your b14 you could put them on that little "shelf" on the passenger side but angled towards you

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.

I just about finished mine. My goal was to completely eliminate all external gauges.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?
