Hi,

I'm ripping the whole dashboard and putting a custom made one...
Here is what I'm thinking... please critique anything you want on it. (sorry for white edge thing around each gauge... not an graphic artist)

Here are some information on why the given setup on the dash.

• Note that all gauges are upto scale (large = 4", small = 2-1/16")
• background will be black metal... only light will be a red light in the middle = check engine
• speedo is in km/h... not mph
• put the water temp right in the middle for fast access
• oil pressure also closest to tach for fast eye access (imho, oil-pressure + water-temp = 2 most critical ones to keep a close eye)
• the rest just followed based by grouping
• least important ones, but practical are in the a-pillar 3-pod
• the A/F is actually a wide-band.

QUESTIONS:

1. Would you place them any differently ?
2. if so, where/why (ie what changes) ?
3. given that it's a turbo setup (in case the boost gauge didn't give it away), which is more practical to have out of these 2 gauges:
   • oil temperature
   • intake temperature

Thanks for your feedback.

With the first design you could probably fit two more gauges on the sides if you want, it may be a little cluttered though.
