Autometer Gauges

[SimonTuffGuy]

Well - I finally decided what I wanted to run... Ordered them from a local A&A Store that price matched down to another competitor and I saved myself $95 on them...

Running Carbon Fiber series, Oil Pressure (electric), Volts & A/F Ratio - they're sitting in a pod I grabbed off EBay for like $25 shipped. It was meant for a Miata, RX8, etc type deal, but it fits PRETTY well... The last picture shows some gaps that I need to somehow fix... Not certain how I'm going to fix them yet, but I'll get it so it looks better.

[SimonTuffGuy]

Oh... And I need to turn the gauges so they all look straight, but I had them set OFF the car and when I mounted it back to the pillar, they were off...

Looks good, I want a pod for 2 gauges. when I do put my B6T in I am going to put a boost and fuel pressure gauge in it!

[project b6t]

o its to bad you didn't go with the phantom series... i have a nice tach thats phantom series..

looks good though

[Sleeper]

^^^^^ these phantom series sound interesting.....have any link to a pic of these Ian??????

I have all of fred's old pods still in the car ( two on dash and two on pillar )...but i still have to decide what kind of gauges to buy....these phantom series sound interesting.....sleeper is the name of the game!

[SimonTuffGuy]

I didn't want white faced gauges again... I wanted something that looked close to "stock" and these were close and cheap... I had Phantom in the last car...

Brian - they sell a pod for the 90-99 Miata that fits REALLY nice in the 2 gauge version. I wanted to run 3 this time and for $25 shipped for the pod, it was worthwhile.

[project b6t]

gotcha, didn't realize you ran phantoms in your last car

Sleeper, you can see pictures of what the phantom series on my cardomain link in my sig.

Ian, Check your Pm's.

On gauges I had thought about making a removable one that I would put on the top of the steering column and when I was done with it would unclip via CB clip and a Molex connector and stow away in glove compartment or something.

[SimonTuffGuy]

Eh - I've got insurance... If someone thinks they need them more than me, I'll get new ones.

I might find a way that I can secure them to the pillar. Don't know how yet, but I'm thinking 2-4 screws that would go into the apillar and then be covered. Someone could still take them if they wanted it bad enough, but it wouldn't be for just anyone to grab.

what kind of seats are those, capri?

[Quickslick4444]

My friend has the same set up with white faces. I cant stand the a/f lights. I like the carbon... it does kinda have the stockish look.

[SimonTuffGuy]

323 GT seats, welded in... I'm going to rip them out at some point and either do theswap like DJ did (using stock brackets) or go with racing style again...

I don't like the A/F either, but it has a purpose... I was going to go with wideband, but didn't really need to spend the extra $200 for that. We'll see how these work once they're wired up...

[25Horseplay]

Are the seats nice? I might be interested in them.

[SimonTuffGuy]

Eh - they're just alright... The drivers side has a rip in the side bolster that was sewn back together so-so... Plus, the car has a bit of a mold problem, so I'm not certain that they're even healthy to be using now! Haha... I'm still up in the air with what I want to do with them.

Why did you go with a voltmeter?
