    Gauges

    I finally have all of my gauges in and wired. Everything is functional and I cant tell you what a pain in the ass this was. I wanted to do it right from the beginning so I wired up an auxillary fuse block just for everything I have added such as the gauges, lap timer, fire system, etc. I also deleted the ignition key completely and the car starts via the toggle switch on the left side of the switch panel. I also ordered some carbon fiber from Carbontrix to use for the switch panel, diff temp gauge, and the custom mount for my lap timer. The new speedometer is at zero which is pretty cool considering that my motor is essentially new as well. The tach has a built in shift light with 4 programmable shift points, all controlled by the keypad on the left side where the foglight switch used to be. I also relocated my power window switches to just above the radio as I no longer have a center console.

    Gauges:

    Main cluster:
    Tach
    Speedometer
    Oil pressure
    Oil temp

    Vent:
    Water temp
    Fuel
    Volts

    OBC:
    Diff temp

    Switches on panel where radio used to be:
    Spal electric fan
    parking lights
    headlights
    Fire system safety
    Fire system spray

              Those gauges look slick. I am sursprised you didnt go with the Stack since you wanted all the coverage...

              That kneebar still scares the shit out of me, maybe its because I am long legged.

                You beat me to my plan of having a single gauge in place of the OBC. I was wondering how it would look, so now I'm stoked about it. I also want to have the same row of 3 gauges in place of the center vents. Is that the BMP part, or did you get it from another source?

                Once again, it all looks awesome.
