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...

I'll post some pics of mine as it sits tomorrow. Using stock cluster for now with digital gauges where the radio was. Fixed back seats mounted on stock sliders and back half spec-e30 cage. Trying to get some Carbon door cards!
Next step for me is going to be something like this (but with small AIM dash instead of traqmate)

I take the radio out at the track, but like having it for the 2-hour drive to get there...

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. - ABLeave a comment:

Not so much a track car but for peace of mind I went with this, which seems relevant:

The "pod" isn't tightened down in this pic but I'm still in process of a couple installations at the same time.
Parker Performance has a variety of ashtray and other solutions. I'm running VDO vision oil pressure & temperature gauges, 12v port on the passenger end of the pod.Leave a comment:

Very cool thread. Id like to move my 325e in the direction of being a DD light duty autox car. Will be checking back here for ideas.Leave a comment:

I bought it from jaywood (in the For Sale section)clean! I was thinking about fabbing up a ''clock delete'' myself. What did you use? Or is there some magic oem part that I can buy that came off a base model?
It's actually left over from a cheap roll I bought from Lowes to cover the subwoofer box in my DD.I like what you did with the carpetLast edited by vpilarrt; 07-19-2013, 05:20 PM.Leave a comment:
