I know someone selling a garage vary triple gauge pod (that sits over the middle aircon vents on an NB).
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

nothing wrong with looking at options for different instrumentation if one is wanting to customise. Personally I reckon the NB instrumentation is terrific- handsome instruments, classic styling, easy to read, and protected by clear acrylic outer lense.

Hi Slimx,

Below is a link to my garage page which has a picture of my boost gauge installed. Simple and clean but probably not technically roadworthy.

Also further along in the thread is an ugly pod thing that Slik posted which is made out of carbon fibre. Not my style but what ever floats your boat!

I have always wanted to add a couple more gauges under my stereo but have not gotten around to it yet.

minx if u read my post i want to get some ideas and according to that.. Do my own thing..

RobH's SP, arent those gauges defectable? in NSW anyway.. ??

As for the AC vent pic i love that look. But i am a person who will open my roof in winter and put the heater on full blast :) lol, Does it make a big difference when it comes to using your heater? I guess in reality it would make the other vents give more air?
