so i was skating down the road and a turbo wrx not sti drives by with a hole cut in the hood and 2 gauges sticking out of it? what possibly could those gauges be?

freakray

Boost and tach....

Sounds like a true ricer-boy move though.

feedthafire

why are they on the outside?

freakray

No real reason, I've seen it done on muscle cars....I think it's more for the 'hey look at me' factor than anything.

feedthafire

isn't ther gauges that you actually cant put in teh car like a fule pressure thing or somgthing i dont know???

freakray

If the fuel pressure gauge is electrical, why couldn't you put it inside the car?

keita

Damn ricers....
Someone needs to vandalize those gauges...I'd say that's doing him a favor by cleaning it up.

Are WRXs wired for boost guages? I am trying to sell my del Sol and I want to get a WRX (Just got a promotoion at work. I am 18 so a manager at fast food and living at home means WRX!) Just wondering, I have never had a turbo car, and I am not about to turbo my car...I don't know much about the wiring for boosted cars.

WRX's are wired as an option, although it's not that difficult anyhow.

On the muscle cars it was common because most sanctioning organizations wont allow you to have fuel and oil lines inside the passenger compartment, so with a mechanical guage it's the only place you can stick it and read it.

I have a mechanical oil pressure guage in my center dash guage pod though
