That's a lot of gauges. I applaud the work, but putting the 2 on the steering wheel cover isn't my style. I like seeing my other gauges (tach ftw).

of course, not for 100%, but its enough (for me! )

Ummm, for reference since it's probably some translation problems.

Tach = Tachometer = RPM's
Speedo = Speedometer = MPH = KPH = No tickets

Interesting work . Like the dash pod mounts but the steering pod mounts make the whole thing seem a bit much :P

"Got Gauges?"

Props for the initiative, but definitely not my style.

Looking forward to some pics of it all finished/installed. "In progress" pictures never really "do it" for me, especially for custom work like you're doing.

Are you going to smooth over all gaps to make it look flush with the dash?

Good luck, bro. Keep it up.

Out of curiosity, what are you going to put in there? I'm guessing the usuals like boost, water temp, oil pressure... but what else?

I am a very "scary" guy when it goes around my engines health... so gauges are essentially for my "good sleep"

60mm greddy electronics
oil temp, oil pressure, watertemp, boost, egt, afr

will also make a custom center console to fit my greddy profec e01 and a 7" TFT touchscreen for my incarnotebook to program the e-manage ultimate on the fly when i need it

maybe its to much for some of you but i looooooooove electronics in a car lol (but no worry, i definitly do not rice out my car optical with stickers or ****... saphire black TII with black/polished rims, no wing, re-ameyia selfmade diffusor (will start in january or so), custom made dual Apex GT exhaust... maybe GP Sports fenders... also a custom made hood for the V-mount) hope you can get an impression now

Are you going to smooth over all gaps to make it look flush with the dash?
dont know exactly yet... i will think over this when i have it cutted and sanded down

no progress today, it was a hard night... we were driving with our R32GTR the first time on full boost (1.6 bar) and we have killed an injector... go to bed at 7 a.m. and have a hard test on monday @ my university
have to fix the beast tommorow, so i will go on on monday with the project

Looks good!! Damn nice job, bro!

From the pic it looks like it's a bit tough to see the stock water temp, is that so? I know you have an aftermarket water temp gauge, but I'm just curious.
