With the recent discussion on what changes we'd like to see for 2003 (2003 Wish List), I had commented on some changes that I'd like to see on the instrument cluster/gauge package. Here's a visual representation of what I meant. I found a photo of the gauge cluster on Temple of VTEC and started with that.
Here's the original:
And here's my idea:
The second photo includes the following changes:
1) moved the "x1000r/min" label next to the "10" on the tach
2) moved all of the idiot lights to a single area
3) moved the fuel gauge to the left under the water temp gauge
4) added an oil temp gauge where the fuel gauge used to be
5) added an oil pressure gauge under the oil temp gauge
6) moved the "pictographs" for each gauge to the outside for better visibility
7) changed all bar graphs to use smaller segments for better accuracy
I also just noticed that the fuel gauge shouldn't have a red area near the "full" mark. My bad.
The oil pressure gauge should also include a red area for low pressure readings.

i like the idea of giving more info (oil temp and pressure gauages) to the driver ...
but do we need 10k rpm on the cluster when our engine is not suppose to rev that high?
