anyone have pictures of custom gauge, interior installs?

[kcolyer27]

Like the title says. Im thinking about getting creative with my guages so if anyone has them mounted someplace that isnt common please post pics. Mostly interested in gauges on the dash. Also anything else you have cool in your interior post it. Thanks

[HaLo]

Use your imagination! :) The sky is the limit. ;)

[TheTimanator]

Well, I don't have pics (you can search the forums and find them since thats probably where I saw them at if was on a 240)

AC vents: center and the ones below the guage cluster
Between the center vent and passenger a/c vent. Either in a mount or cut to fit in the dash
Steering Colum
pillar- very common
glove box
outside on the hood
Center console where the pocket used to be (like mine)
Center console (replaces both stereo and pocket)
In place of the a/c controls
Halo's got an interesting setup

Ummm, I'm sure there's more. But as said before, use your imagination!! Guages can go everywhere

Here is what mine look like, but do a search and you will find a lot more.

[Brolewigi]

My friend has ones that are machined aluminum on ebay. Check them out, they are sweet!

[the head]

great how about you post a link instead of just "they are sweet"

[Turbozx]

Both are machined aluminum and black anodized. You can't tell in the pictures, but the gauges are also angled towards the driver.

we use dry carbon fiber sheets then cut the holes for the gauges/power fc's.

Hey man.

Check the Buy/Sell thread and you can see the triple gauge pod my friend makes.

If you can't find the post, go to my car domain site and look at page 4.

Have a good one.

Easy :cool:

I think replacing the vent with gauges is pretty easy to do and is easy to see.

My friend did the triple gauge in the middle vents easily also...He angled them towards the driver's seat too.

[Brolewigi]

Here take a look at these gauges that my friend makes at his machine shop.

Here's the link! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46100&item=2481257123)

I saw those if only they were for 60mm

He could probably make them any size you wanted if he has a machine shop.

[SimpleS14]

Grandpa - How did you mount that gauge on your steering column trim piece?

BillKlineVT - You have to tell me how you got your A/F pod set up like that...I've been pondering how to do that for some time. :eek3d: I also plan to put the S-AFC II in the ash tray spot....just need to make the opening a tad bit bigger. I plan on put some felt on the sides and a little loop for easy pull and play. :)



Well...I seen a boost controller (profec-b) mount on the ceiling of the car...where the sunroff controls would be. The boost controller was covered with the casing that the Mustang (97?) uses for its dash clock...thought it was really nice. Too bad I don't have any pics. :/

Rev Speed October 99 (http://guernsey.globat.com/~mountainracer.com/tunetech/battlemeter/)

the pics are pretty big so just check the link

[BillKlineVT]

newest gauge setup... gauges below the s-afc2 are angled toward the driver using autometer "angle rings" as well as some more custom fabrication... works great

http://filebox.vt.edu/users/bkline/pics/PICT0191.JPG

[kcolyer27]

WOw some tight pictures. I think im going to drill holes inbetween the center vent and the vent that is in front of the passenger. Im goign to drill holes and use these angle pod things i have to make them angle towards me

[KingKong8247]

The best interior I have seen was in one of the signal cars

He took a Super AFC thing and put it in the place of the digital MPH on the digital dash looked real clean.

I dont have any pics of it but if anyone could find one it would be cool

[skatanic28]

quick question for you guys...
im gonna be getting a water temp and oil pressure gauge from autometer. i was looking to mount them in the DIN slot under the stereo. would a 2-1/16" be best for this? and has anyone used that hose coupler with a place for the thermometer?

[branch757]

does any one have any input on puting a s15 cluster in a s14??

Does anyone know where the carbon fiber door piece can be found as seen in this picture...

Edited:
So I guess it is a custom job, newly upholstered.
And as to the post below, I didn't search the source site because I overlooked it and stillensucks didn't seem like an actual site that this guy was posting explanations on.
Thanks

Why not check out www.stillensucks.com where the picture came from instead of digging up a 7 month old post?

what HUD are you using? Did you use that sticker thing on the glass? Can you see it during the day?

so many questions.....

[cdigity]

i made the heads up display at my shop.
its a custom molded fiberglass pod where the airbag used to
be. the monitor is a farenheit 7" tft/lcd set in mirror mode
so that the image reflects normally on the windshield.
the guage module is the hks c.a.m.p. unit.
it also does heads-up video from my dvd player.
the entire windshield was tinted in a 50% light transmitting
film(barely noticeable). the heads up is not very effective during the day
but that was expected.

[katbak]

I think that is crazy unique, but I don't really like the fact that its so hard to read... and unreadable in the day. I'm curious, if you tinted that square that it shines on very dark would it work in the daytime, or would the daylight glare block it out... How is the digital reader next to the tac attached? With a mounting bracker or molded in?
Thanks

[kandyflip445]

It's looking more and more like a cockpit of a jet.

it actually very easy to read and is clear. i just dont have a
steady hand taking pics. the display for the greddy e-01
is bracketed down.
