Interior & Guage Cluster Picture Thread.

Your ecometer is quite awesome lol

lol...it used to work (along with the speedo and tach), but most of that stuff is non-functional now thanks to the combination of M42 swap and contant beating taken from rallycross, lol.

This winter I'm taking apart the whole cluster and making something custom I think...

love the flock work.........


I want to do that...very cool

My E30 is just an HPDE car for now, but seats with Vac floor mounts, custom rollbar and harnesses will go in over the winter. Here is my guage setup:



I used Autometer mechanical gauges as I wanted really accurate readings. The pod is Autometer as well. I also have a oil and water low pressure light setup and a shift light. So far, I have been pleased with the setup. - AB

I like this......very "informative"....I went elec autometer water temp.....

Thx, that's the very cheap Don-Jur (sp?) kit with the "manual" applicator. It was really very easy and has held up really well.

O T I've been looking at doing that shifter setup but what shifter is that? and any reason you mounted the carrier plate below? TIA

[325est13psi]

the early sheet metal carrier plate mounts were really weak so i mounted it to the body, also makes it taller which works for me, i think its the 1.9 shift lever, used solid bushings, makes it really notchy, sounds good when slamming gears tho

36brua, if your talking about the shift knob it's a zhp, still have a feeling your talking about the shifter assembly though.

I'm looking to do the same because the rear bushing of the assembly is complete shit and keeps popping off.

You just bolted it directly to the body?

[325est13psi]

yeah... drilled through, long bolts with half inch spacers i think....

[325est13psi]

i used to have just the tail end of the support bolted to the body but when i got in a wreck it tore the metal in half because the motor and trans shifted...

so i just cut the sheet metal bracket mounts off and kept the center portion where the selector sits and bolted it to the body, also eliminates shifter movement when braking
and accel if you have solid motor/trans mounts

lets see some more interiors!!!

did u do that w/ the dash removed?...

Couple of pics of my track car, still a work in progress. Car is still street-legal, so I can drive to & from (hopefully, anyway!) events.

As she sits now:

I need to pull & flock the dash still. A/C is gone, but I kept the HVAC, so I don't have to worry about fogging the windows on cold/wet days.

Side view:

I ditched the stereo, power mirrors, locks/central locking & power windows, going with a manual setup. More for cleaning up/simplifying wiring than actual weight savings.

DTM-style gauge cluster (very much a work in progress):

This is on hold until mid-April, when I can pick up the rest of the gauges & senders. I'll be using a Stack Clubman tach, with gauges for oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, fuel level volts, and ultimately diff temp (although I haven't started on the diff cooler project yet). There will be 2 warning lights; one for oil pressure, and one for water temp.

kingston, nice cluster setup...I think we had the same idea...



Going into this:



Lots of work left to do:
