I got rid of my "lancer" gauge and put in a wideband [pics]
So my lancer gauge was pissing me off. Was it really necessary to light up "lancer"
I called it my gay gauge cause I felt a little tingly in me butt everytime I noticed it.
So I replaced it today with a display for a wideband. It took quite a while...so long I didn't have time to finish installing the wideband. Only the display.
And for those of you who are going to ask...yes, this is a direct bolt in modification.
After you measure, dremel, fit, glue, cut, fit, and glue.
Opinions?
I am really liking how I don't have a gigantic gauge sitting on me steering column and the car looks pretty much stock minus the gay gauge.
Before:
After:
Lost functionality: (I didn't lose the low oil indicator as there wasn't even a bulb in there)

Obviously, you can't cut the breadboard unless you feel like soldering and rewiring the board.
As far as the plastic goes...you do have a little bit of play room, certainly not a lot.
I don't think a boost gauge is a good idea tucked away like that.
For a wideband it's perfect. Most tuning will be done by logging, but in case you wanted to see your AF's, it's there for you to glance at it.
I would want a boost gauge front and center...displaying in a light up pin/gauge or in actual digits like in a blitz SBC.
