Best .52 mod ever better look...

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.

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.

Allen don't you dare confess to that here, your hands must remain at 10 and 2 at all times!!!! man I hope I got that right or there goes my joke

although i dont know the exact size of the gauge, how about placing it here if it will phisically fit? or is there somethign in there behind?

Nope, imagine the 996 cluster with 5 gauges, and cover up the side 2. Thats what we have. Ive taken apart everything for those LEDs so I know theres no room. Modern cars are too modular and fancy to modify easily. Our gauges are split level and extremely tight in there so we cant do anything. The BEST option is to put the gauges in the middle dash where the climate control is (for me). Its where the cup holders go. You could move your gauge(s) there easy enough but youd have to buy something to relocate the climate control. I think a trim ring or a mounting something.

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!

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.

You know.... Make 3 more faceplates and you could have 12 gauges! lol. Thatd be a boost, oil pressure, oil temp, volt, water temp, air/fuel ratio, and 6 more, lol.

[ohioboxster]

Keep in mind they need to be in my line of sight so Im going to glue them to the windshield.
