Hi,

???... Little voices in your head today?

Just to avoid any further misunderstanding, this isn't related to any other threads whatever. I think it looks idiotic and RICER. Or did you only post this thread for those who are 100% in agreement with you?

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Apology accepted.
Furthermore, if someone didnt agree with placement of the gauge I would think they would suggest an alternate location instead of cheap shots and stupid pictures. Im willing to pay you no attention from this point on if you have nothing constructive to add. The people in my head agree with me 100%

No apology inferred or proffered...

Jim,
Please stop apologizing, I get it your sorry.

I'm not sure where a better place for it would be. The gauge I want front and center on my instrument cluster is the tach. Fortunately it's that way from the factory. When I had my RX-7, I mounted the boost gauge to the dashboard, on the right side of the instrument binnacle - but there is no room for a gauge there in a Boxster.

Not sure why Jim is being so insulting - bad day? There are things people on this board have done to their cars that I would consider to be pretty ricey but ... to each their own. If having the gauge there suits your needs, more power to you. You can always move it later!

We need a HUD option.

Allen K. Littlefield · 01-05-2007, 06:58 AM

Toatally agree on a Heads Up Display projected on the lower windshield. A digital speedo and digital tach. Of course this all goes down the tubes when you are dialing your cellphone while setting up for a corner.

LOL, that's good stuff. I use lines like that all the time.

Anyway, I can see Jim's point about it being in a less than optimal location. However I debate as to whether or not it's considered "rice." I guess I just need to hear Jim's definition of rice.

At any rate, when ever I feel grumpy, tense, or down, I listen to this song.
I don't feel like dancin' <-- download me!
Some one explain how you can listen to this and then NOT be in a cheerful mood! Let me know what y'all think!

djomlas · 01-06-2007, 09:58 AM

i think that useless parts on a car are rice, but in this case u def. need a boost gauge, and w limited space it looks great.
good job man

Jeph,

I don't know why you would do that to me. What have I ever done to you? Luckily, my sniper rifle is too tall to fit under my chin or I would have shot myself while that was playing.

I made another gauge plate today to hold three gauges. Im going for extreme idiotic and ricer, check it out. This is the first stage of Uncle Bens gauge plate.

I like hot chocolate and raisins. Raisins are grapes way of thanking the little rays of sunshine that come down from heaven and make the earth happy. I like earth.

Prototype HUD only problen is it came up on the outside of the windshield but I can see it. Im going to put a kit together but since HUD is taken I need a new name, thinking ....... RUD

Hehe I like this thread.

Any reason why you feel the need for a boost gauge though? It's a supercharger so it's not like you'll be adjusting the boost/tuning the car much. It's mounted too low to actually monitor so I'd assume its purpose would be for tuning on-the-fly by a passenger.

Ohio, I like what you have done but I wanted to add this vid just for fun.

Too funny.

That was very well done.

Chills · 01-10-2007, 06:35 AM

Ohio, I think the gauge placement looks cool. It's not "ricer" to have a boost gauge because you have an SC in your car. It's quite appropriate to have the gauge. Plus you're not trying to "show off" your gauge by placing it where another driver can see it and lighting it up with LED's. I think the location you have it in is very Porsche-esk (sp?).
