gauges - fun mod?
 

here's a cool idea i read about in another forum (i.e., i haven't done this myself):

get the sport chrono enclosure from a cayman/987 and mount it on your dash (you have to drill a hole, so measure twice ...).

next, apparently these multigauges fit perfectly:

it just plugs into your obd ii port and reads whatever parameters from your ecu you want, and you can even upload custom gauge faces for it:

when done, looks like you would get a totally stock-looking, totally useful little tool.

Wow this would solve my problem....do you have pictures?

Definitely a cool mod. Not sure where OP saw but I saw it over on 6speed LY.

Just highlight the blue above w/ your mouse, then right click and select go to... (it'll add the "www" needed, etc.)

:)

I will have a look....thanks burg

This mobile device has no mice though!

Nice mod, I don't know about taking a hole saw to my dash though. I'd need a couple of beers before starting that one. :cheers:

..yep and some tequila chasers

Not sure about cutting through my leather skin

i hear you. if you like the gauge but not the pod, there are steering column options that look relatively unobtrusive ...
