    Hey sorry guys, I've just been swamped with work and life lately. But I haven't forgotten about making these gauges! Though it doesn't look like it's going to be getting much better any time too soon, as it looks like I've got a bit of international and domestic travel for work coming up.

    With that said, I'm going to start working slowly towards getting ready to run another batch, though I have no idea what the time frame will be, but I'm going to try to get as much done as possible before hand so the turn around will be as quick as possible. For now, the plan is to do another batch of boost gauges, since that's what I'm setup for now and the design is ready to make. I still plan on doing oil temp and oil pressure down the road, as I still have to do more work on the design when I get a chance. And even further down the road, I need to finish putting together the circuit design for pre-86 gauges.

    Also on top of all of that, I haven't been able to drive my e30 since last December, so I'm starting to get pretty determined to get it fixed and back on the road, since I really miss it!

      I just hope that when you do the next run, I magically have money to spend. This is my absolute favorite e30 enthusiast produced product. Hands down.

        I know I'd be down for an oil pressure kit when it's time.

            Omg! Im doing my turbo build now, just got my head back from Bimmerheads, and this would be perfect!! Only problem is its pre-1986 so... Unless you build one, I'm SOL. But there is interest!

                I'm in for oil pressure
                Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                        I need one of these. I can spring for a set of six if you need someone to handle the group buy. Personally I'd like -30 to +20 vac/boost.

                            Hey guys sorry for the lack of responses.

                            I'm still suffering from a lack of time, but I think I'm going to set a goal of starting another batch in the next 2-3 months. My workload has been lightening up a bit, though I have no idea what it will be like in the new year. If it stays normal I should be able to do the batch without a problem.

                            But to keep things simple, it's going to be air pressure gauges only (boost, vac/boost), post-1986 gauges, and possibly reduced choices for gauge faces (only the common ones to save time making them)
