Default Guage Thread

Post up some pics of your guages.. i want to get an idea.. Show me day shots and night shots. also what guages you are using too also what brand are you using, where did you get the guages and pod from

i love the look of conalt.. that blue and nexus is great too but way to much money!

here is what i am thinking of getting as far as guages go.

prolly 2.. Water Temp.. Maybe Trans Temp or Oil Pressure.. but our Oil Pressure guages works.. What about fuel Pressure or A:F????

AF is nothing but a damn light show, they will get annoying.

Trans temp, not really needed unless you have an auto.

Oil pressure, if you want but we do have one already

Water temp, stock ones are kinda dummy ones. They don't move unless there is drastic changes in temp. The ls1's vary in temp on and off.

You can do fuel pressure

But jonas you are kinda of a ricer, so go with a triple pod, with 3 different clocks in it, so you know what time it is in europe, japan, and elsewhere!

O ya, by the way, I think you meant cobalt no conalt.
I like the scanner guage thats what I use. 1 guage you ca monitor 2 differnt things at the same time. And up to 20+ different things. You can check your ses light and delete from the guage as well. One of the best money I spent!

So, how long did it take to install? Or did you have it done? How long if you did it yourself?
