I was going to say the R stood for ROB. Im not crazy about the R1 crapp, I love the Blitz gauges, but Im not crazy about the fact they are metric, and they are pricey. GREDDY makes some nice gauges as well, but again a bit pricey. Im leaning towards the Autometer carbon fiber gauges, and I think Im going to mount them under the radio, my car is all stock and gauges on a pod seems a bit lame to me. Not like 13b ace, who has gauges under his radio, and also on the pod, BUT HE NEEDS THEM, lol. Im actually looking for function and not just for looks, 13 year old motor in my car, wouldnt want to lose it now! I love these people with thier Honda Civics, still with the factory 14" wheels with wheel covers, with a monster tach on the dash, lol. I know Summit Racing well, I have built many a motor from them, been dealing with them for 13 years now, they have everything, even if its not in thier catalogs, call them, and they probably have it.

Putting those gauges under the radio will be ok because you don't ALWAYS have to see oil pressure and watertemperature gauges. Boost gauges usually need to be right in front of you

The Blitz panel only fits a 43mm gauge? I was thinking of getting the 3 gauge panel, only using it for 2, but whats with the 43mm gauges? Now it looks like Ill have to make one, does anyone make a din or double din blank panel that I can cut out for my needs??
