I think it should be in every 986 so you can see your oil pressure; you can have it flash at you if things go wrong
Finally, found someone with a brockway product. I was recently looking at getting the dgauge bc of the external sensors plus the ability to display the ambient temp.

Initially I figured it would cost about the same as the obc hack but without the headaches. It also looked almost factory. Unfortunately they aren't producing the dgauge anymore. There are some left over at vivid racing, but its 515.00 for the gauge and brockway wants 300.00 for the faceplate. It's hard to justify.

I hate that the r100 doesn't have ambient temp as that's all I want. However I could be convinced if its able fit where the 2002 drink holders are. I would like to keep my cubbies but never use the drink holders.

Jakay can you post a pick of it installed?

I would be happy to in spring! The dark mistress is in hibernation (no battery to open the doors

The brockway engineering site should still have an illustration of it in a 9x6 console. The colour/texture match of the plastic is bang on. You can still get the piece as a special order
