[uberschall]

[hitcachi]

That is bad ass. I was thinkin about doin something along those lines when i switched over from my ST to my GT, but something about taking a hole saw to my dash with a bunch of wires behind it, just scared the crap outta me.

Hey wolf i got a question for you. in your sig whats making you high beams look blue or is that just the pic?

it's the bulbs that he has in the high beams. .

and, IMO, that looks like quite a hack-job. a-pillar pods are much more in the line of vision. the way you drilled isn't even on an even surface, they are too far away from the driver to be safely utilized. and then those other 2 gauges just sitting there makes it all look out of place...

you posted for opinions, so don't bash me for mine. .

[coldbluesteel]

Looks better than I thought it would. How do you have them secured?

to me looks like someone didn't wanna wait for Doggy. Looks very simillar.

I disagree, and that's why I tried another way.

1. I don't like how A-pillar looks, but they are even unconfortable, because the higher ones are too near to your face, and you loose time to focus them.

2. Gauges are for tuning/mapping or aestethic.
When you tune/map, you have time and you must look at them.
But when you race, and I am not talking about 400 meters long races... ,
you really have not the time to look at them.
2 years ago I made a 1 hour session in Monza:
when I came out, a friend of mine asked me the top speed I reached in the long long, 5th gear, pitlane.... and I didn't know !
Never had the time to look at the odometer when you are racing !
Gauges are not for safely race, if you want failsafe gauges, you have to buy electronic gauges with alert led when the values are too high or too low...
for example my Greddy fuel pressure gauge has it...
Or, even better, and this is what I made on my car, all the sensor are connected to my ecu and then to the PC you see on the passenger seat, and when a sensor is out of normal values, I get an alert and it goes in safe mode.
IMHO this is the only way to go. And that's what I made...
PS: for this purpose, I will put a 7" touchscreen monitor in the 2 din for the carPC that works with my ecu.

you posted for opinions, so don't bash me for mine. .

Absolutely don't be worried for this ! Opinion are welcome !
BTW if opinions were so important for me, I'd ask how to do it, before making in this way.

They are pressed between the dash cover and the ventilation ducts... they don't move !

Eh eh eh...
Doggy's is a great product !

btw IMHO I prefer in my way, they look as they are oem !

wow man, looks great. I would be so scared to drill into my dash like that haha, but you did great work!

Thank you guys...

To tell the truth, it was easier than I would think.... I only made the centering holes before drilling with the cup, and I only had to keep the drill perpendicular.

And the result is better than what I tought !

[WH95TE]

Still brave though cause if you had screwed up well, thats a whole new dash lol. Once again, very nice
