Gauges and where

What three gauges would you mount to you SX and where?
I was thinking Oil pressure, Oil Temp, Fuel Pressure?
I wanted a EGT gauge but they are to damn expensive and the AFR gauges are not that accurate unless you buy expensive
Also I have a inline Fuel Pressure gauge maybe I must just get a Clock, I don’t really want a water Temp gauge.
Also the local pillar mounting pods look like ass (no offence)
And that air vent braket looks worse so Im just confused and annoyed
maybe under the radio

Under the radio is probably the best but might have space problems.
Oil pressure and temp are a must i would say, Boost you have the GReddy for that,Fuel pressure is a bit of a waste I think. Save up and get the Zeitronix, it does EGT (a must have), AFR, LAMBDA and boost.

There is a holder that replaces the top half of the steering column cover on the s13. It houses 2 gauges in a pod on either side, and slightly to the top of it.
not sure if you've seen that.

I have only seen that for Honda's with the two guage pods
I really wont be having the cash for a EGT for some time so I will Skip that I will maybe use a Clock to fill up the last Whole...
Going Under the radio.
Thanks

EGT gauges arent expensive though, I have seen the gauges for cheap, providing they work on a K type thermocouples the sensor is R180.00.

I don't have gauges but I reckon Its more practical on the pillar or perhaps on the dashboard.
Gauges are there to "monitor" things when you gun it and I don't think when you are going at it you are going to look down to well below the radio and still feel never mind be safe (lol if its ever safe anyway)

Im sorry The piller mounting pod's have to be hacked to fit.. .
And in my Eyes they look hacked
Unless you get the correct RHD version that I have never see then it might look good.
Sorry Chem, Im not attacking you your car really looks great
