I've had cars cheaper than the S2000 with oil pressure guages.

That said, while I really like the digital display on the S2000, I'm not thrilled with the accuracy of the secondary guages (temperature and fuel). The temperature guage, in particular, just goes up to eight bars (2005 display) and sits there. Meanwhile, I can tell from the heater that the real temperature of the engine varies a lot depending on how fast I'm going and how hard I'm driving. An oil pressure guage like that wouldn't be much better than an idiot light.

An accurate oil pressure guage would probably be even more useful than an accurate temperature guage.

You have to get gauges offered by companies like Autometer or Defi. There are some really cool gauges out there. It just takes money and time. You can make them look like this:

or this:

or you can install them in your radio door or punch holes in your dash and put them there.

man all those guages look messy
how's this for stealth
it does oil temp, oil pressure, coolant temp and boost ! all in one..
dunno y i haven't seen anyone else use it. prob bcos everyone likes to show off their light up gauges i didnt want to cut holes in the dash nor attract attention for someone to slash my hood to get the gauges. in fact as my gauge is velcroed on and i take it down when i park in a dodgy area and put it under the seat .
