Best .52 mod ever better look...

I took your advice and revamped my dash a little. You were so right that single boost gauge was so bling and outrageous.

Randall,

Good call, I moved the gauge up one level into the cd storage spot and reclaimed my tiny area of storage.

hey ohio, I was thinking that my brother's Z3 has three dials in the center like that, the middle dial is a clock....kind of cool.....not sure how it would look in the box but it fits nicely in the Z3

An altimeter might go well too.

You mean something like this? Is this a factory set up? I know it needs a gauge on each side. I will probably go with oil pressure and possibly temp.

[super66]

that's the ticket! that is pretty factory....pretty much what his looks like.....I really thought his clock was the middle though....I'll look at it tonight.....I think that pic is of an M so maybe its a little diff

[ohioboxster]

Oh, maybe someone should tell BMW thats ricer style........

I won't speculate as to the danger. I will say, having instructed a student at Watkins Glen in his MCoupe (whose dash is the same as above) He had a hard time monitoring the gages in the lower dash. I often reminded him to check them and when I realize he wasn't I simply said.. "boy that looks hot.. what fluid is that ".. he then would move his eyes off the winsheild and down to the guage.

Some information is more important than others to a driver. Unless you suddenly LOST boost, it may not be something you need to always look at. Then again, on some cars (like a 930 or a WRX) you have (can have) a boost guage that is easily seen while driving without having to move your head/arms to see it.
