Well I am currently in the process of building me a NA spec miata and I am clueless how I want to setup my guages/switches for the car. I have seen alot of ideas but I want to see YOUR ideas, maybe they can help make my decision easier

So please POST AWAY with dash photos! I would love to see how yal setup everything. And yes I am from Texas

I have mine setup with Oil Pressure in the left vent, water temp (which is missing) right, radio plate has voltmeter on left, LC-1 on the right, one switch is for the gauge lights and the other will be for a cool shirt system.

Where in Texas? You might be close to someone where you could see first hand.

I don't know Danny - it looks like you removed a cigar lighter from the right side on the console panel. If it doesn't say you can...

Actually, a very clean looking arrangement, but a lot more than I need. Why so many "Idiot Lights"?

And where would Fowler put his gum in this car?

You knew some weenie comments would come out when you posted.

Why so many "Idiot Lights"?

Do any of us get to answer that for him?

Start the ball rolling Jim - I'm waiting - thick skin here!!!!

I live near fort worth, Motorsport Ranch in Cresson is very very very close to me and the track has been DEAD recently. A few SM every now and then, but I do have Team MER located at the track.

But I really like having the gauges in the a/c vents. I keep reading up on it but I hear different things about the sizes of gauges. I hear you want 60mm gauges then I have heard 52mm gauges so I am a noob to this.

I have AutoMeter liquid filled mechanical gauges (water temp, oil temp, oil press) which are 2 5/8 (67mm ) inch diameter. For a 1990 remove the loose eyeball stuff & with a half round file open the roughness of the vent hole so that the gauges fit with out fracturing the eyeball perimeter.

Jim, my digital A/F gauge is pretty blue.

[Justin Fowler]

How do the gauges stay in place? In my stock cars they have backings that kind of clamped on each side of sheetmetal. I just now noticed I misspelled gauges on my last post but it's been a long day lol

[Bench Racer]

How do the gauges stay in place?

They just kind of very light interference fit & they do stay in place. I suppose one could use a bit of Gorilla glue on the back side.

[Jason J Ball]

All guages come with a mounting bracket for this type of installation which bolts to the back of the gauge.

pix removed...

I'm confused. That appears to be a G2X AND a Traqmate. What gives?

I love my G2X display.

[Justin Fowler]

Tom I noticed you go to MSR in Cresson, I would love to meet and talk one weekend when they have a track day.

But I wish I could afford those AutoMeter Digital Gauges Danny has, Cant afford $600 for gauges lol
