Places to mount gauges...and where to buy?
So I've been trying to find a place to buy installation kits to install gauges in the center counsel, under or over the heater controls. I did find this site near the bottom to be pretty good but very very expensive.
http://www.diamondstarmotorsport.com/gaugeparts.shtml I would like to mount 2 gauges up above where the heater vent is but can't seem to find a installation kit for a good price. Help, has anybody else done anything similar?

Re: Places to mount gauges...and where to buy?
That last one is a pretty sweet deal. 30 bucks shipped and you get space for 3 guages and the HU. Plus its powdercoated to your desire. Nice.

Re: Places to mount gauges...and where to buy?
Cute baby
Why did you go with glowshift and not autometer or something? I bought a cheap glowshift gauge to monitor fuel pressure. The gauge works fine but was calibrated wrong from the factory. I comprared it to a mechanical gauge and took the glowshift one apart and adjusted it till it matched the mech. one. So be careful going by their accuracy if you haven't checked them out.

Re: Places to mount gauges...and where to buy?
This may sound a bit retarted but really the only one I wanted was the Boost gauge and I needed another one to fill the empty space and couldn't decide on what I wanted to go with so I just went w/ that one. I've heard that they can be pretty useless unless at WOT but o well. I do have 2 questions though:
1st-The wire that goes to the O2 Sensor, I'm want to connect it to the wire on the passenger side behind the kick panel but I can't find the wire. Is there anyone that has gone this route when hooking it up? If so...any advice? Or even pics, that would be the most help. I found this site on Tuners but the pic is not enough. http://vfaq.com/mods/wayback/BradBau...l/find-o2.html 2nd-What vacuum line am I suppose to connect the Boost gauge to? I was going to connect to the one at off of the BOV but wasn't sure? Edit: found that wire, I have no flash lights at my house so I had nothing to get a really good look so I was using the cell phone and couldn't see much more. So I took a 4 foot light fixture and got it right down to the floor boards and look way up in and found it. It was a bitch to get it loose from the main harness but I got it.

Re: Places to mount gauges...and where to buy?
I have my boost gauge tee'd off the fuel pressure solenoid.

Re: Places to mount gauges...and where to buy?
In an earlier post you asked why I got Glow Shift over Autometer or another better brand. I read a lot of reviews on these gauges before I bought them and also emailed the company requesting a comparison of there product over a named brand. They were very honest w/ there response and so I based my decision on what research I did. Again I don't really plan to tune w/ the AF gauge I just like the way they look and it will help w/ pinpointing fuel issues. Take a look at my thread in the problem diagnostics section you'll see what I mean.

Re: Places to mount gauges...and where to buy?
I haven't had any problems with that one I got. Except it was calibrated wrong. But it works fine. And it was also only like $60 for an electric gauge with sender.

Re: Places to mount gauges...and where to buy?
So I'm going to be doing something w/ the other gauges such as the speedo, tach, temp, etc.. I'm going to be putting in white faced gauges and I was considering putting in this as well
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mitsu...em230210072793 Has anybody used one of these before? Does it replace the factory black bezel?  These are the gauges from my old talon, I'm putting basically the same gauges in the GSX will the carbon piece replace the black thing you see in the picture?

Re: Places to mount gauges...and where to buy?
It doesn't replace anything, or it doesn't on the 2g anyways, it just overlays the factory bezel.
