Here come the flames...My gauge cluster

[windsor318is]

looks pretty good, but looks empty to the left of it, you should ass the odometer gauge if they make one.

P.S. was a r.p.m gauge that goes that high really nessesary??

[asubimmer]

it looks kinda cheesy...maybe cause its not done but like everyone else said...NO BLUE!!!

Its getting there...


As far as oil presure & temp, EGT, and wide band. they are going in an a-pillar pod that i'm making. While i don't like to place gauges there its the only place that seems like it'll work correctly and safely.

Lights on during the day:


You have to see the gauges to really appreciate how they look at night.

The A-pillar in any car is a blind spot to being with. Adding a 3 gauge pod there is only going to create a worse one.

Ergonomics don't matter Josh, he himself stated he is doing all this to make the car "feel full race"

More guages the better I say, you can never be too careful with a bone stock m20.

Not gunna flame, but I don't understand the point of this to be honest, heck I adore my M Cluster and would never consider replacing it.

Those gauges belong in a domestic car, (not blue though) and not a BMW.

What is wrong with factory instrumentation?

The gauges will be placed in line with the a-pillar as to not create a larger blind spot. As far as my engine being stock, i've owned this car for just a month now, i'm already collecting the parts i need to build the engine correctly the first time around. I don't want to put a butt load on money into my engine just to destroy it the first time it cranks.

they look cheep, not very well placed, un thoughtout, unorganized, can i say cheap again? and totally not needed. Even if you do have a "crazy fast turbo race car". Sure its something different, but theres a reason it hasnt been done a lot, cause it looks like shit.even if you do convert your whole interior lighting to the blue(seen it on e36s) it still will look gay. Those guages imo appear cheap and tacky.

Thanks for all the comments.

theres a company that makes a 2 pod pillar thats one piece instead of making one

Why are blue lights rice?

I don't mind them, meh, it's just a fucking colour. Personally, I like the gauges in the late-model VWs and (Australian Ford XR6 Turbo/XR8 Falcons) which are both blue. They're the best for driving long distances at night...

Who? and do they position them so they creat a larger blind spot?

Looks clear enough with nice functional gauges and a big tach right in front of you.

I really don't understand where all the hate for this is coming from.

Yea, the blue looks like it belongs in a fox body, oh well.
