Talking my 3 Gauge Project

Hi all,
As some of you know I was in need of 3 gauges on my S2000 the gauges i have are Oil Pressure, Air Fuel Ratio, and Boost gauge, I have got a SOS pillar mount but needed room for one more gauge as these only hold two after looking at different routes I decided to make my own.

First Of all I bought a second radio steering controls so i can play about with this while my car is not in bits.



I then took apart the spare some and removed the auto control, I hardly ever used this button so didnt make much different to me after a little use of a dremel I got it to fit... h next will be wiring up the buttons to work and then Hopefully fitting it into the car in the next few days



Comments welcome

Since you are not using that particular button, that is a great idea.

Check out his engine bay or the headunit install You didn't see the Mk4 Golf he had before the S2000, that was a minter.

Looks good , I'd do the same but i 'use' that button, i think it would look even better if you put the AEM bezel on too.

I do like the gaugepod setup (in the A pillar) which I will have in my car very soon but i only require one gauge (AFR).
