Ok, I've heard about aftermarket Oil Pressure gauges being installed to replace the stock. How did you mount them? Did you remove the original? Also, did anyone fully integrate the gauge into the dash, or do you just remove and install a block off plate to cover the hole. It doesn't look right being redundant with 2 gauges, IMHO.

Thanks

I used the RB adaptor block and installed the gauge under my radio.

I did not want to modify the cluster and I actually like having

2 oil gauges.



Pics can be seen on my page

i saw one s5 with an hks boost guage in the factory cluster, as the s5 has 46mm holes so it fit, i dunno whats going on in the back of it though

I made a plate to bolt over where the vents are in the center section. I don't use the AC so I don't mind having them gone. Since that piece pops out it is easy to modify. I cut out the center leaving just the diameter and then cut a piece of sheet metal to fit it and affixed the two together. The first one I made I just drilled holes and installed the guages, but the second one I did I decided to put a lip on the holes to make the guages more heads up. I got this idea from ILUVMY88CABRIO.

This is a pic of the first one I made.

I just did the pillar pod, we have them in the store.

but when you want that official 'sleeper' look... !!@!

I have the redundant gauges but this is where I mopunted mine.

Closeup view.

Basically.. mostly everyone Mounts them either on the pillar or somewhere beneath the radio in one case somebody mounted an EGT in the door panel HVAC Vent

Damn...thats original.

Here is mine...not original, but clean...

Those are some nice looking installs! I did one like sunshine's in my friend's S5 TII that came out decent, especially considering I was just messing around with a Dremel when I did it.

i have a panel that replaces the glovebox door with 3 60mm greddy gauges in it. I really don't have a very good pic of it, but use your imagination on this one.

Does it still open and ****? Is it difficult to read the gauges from there?

Luckily, no airbags, otherwise, OWW

Anyone have the orginal gauge removed and a block off plate fitted to cover the hole left over?

I havent whipped this pic out in a while:

Rob, where did you get that eBrake handle?

i think rob's ebrake handel is stock. But with vertrx7's shift boot and ebrake boot



goto teamfc3s.org...

He got the handle from me. You can get it from any 89-91 with a leather interior.

here is mine. not original, but i like it.



rob - is that a general JDM momo steering wheel, or is specifically for the FD? i've seen them on ebay, and my steering wheel looks like crap. i want one, and i'm planning on getting a cheap momo wheel off of ebay and finding an rx7 wheel hub for cheep to attach it.

longer distance shot

No doesn't open so no glove box, its very easy to still read the gauges. Its the ones i read less though (coolant temp, oil temp, oil pressure) i keep the boost and EGT on the cluster

heres the best pic ive got of mine, 52mm boost on the column. the e brak handle is team voodoo, and the leather boot is also for a miata

Wow, looks nice! What goes under the radio, anyways?

The steering wheel is JDM FD wheel, no hub required, direct bolt

on.



Ebrake handle is stock, boot is from someone I dont even remember

Shifter boot is new OEM Mazda.



Sled driver pedals, Voodoo engraved shift knob.

on mine? i used to have the boost controller and a coolant temp guage but i took em out, so now theres nothing

jim, where'd you get your wheel from? i like the mazda insert in the middle too.

What was under the radio on stock cars?

The radio fills in the entire space, except in the 89-90 GTUs. The GTUs has a little 1.5 pocket under the radio. I bought one to put under my radio, but I had to trim it to fit.

Isamu's pic no the first page shows the stock radio:
