I am sweating that 1g interior, though...who has that car now? I've been thinking of finding a 1g to make into a track car, but I already have one money pit.
IMHO the old GSX shows that Mitsubishi interiors have actually regressed over the past 13 years. The ergonomics in the GSX are so much better -- the buttons and climate controls feel great, the instrument cluster doesn't look cheap, and I'll always prefer being seated next to a high transmission tunnel.
Oh well, the 4G63 sure has progressed. Now Mitsubishi just needs to bring back pop-up headlights!

Oh well, I guess I am still the only one who likes red mud flaps on a black 4 door sedan (look at my car in the registry...vote on it, too).

Sorry for the OT, but when I saw that soembody was clamoring for the pop-ups, I just snapped
Great looking SPA setup, BTW.

I ordered the same SPA Technique gauges just yesterday with the temps -- pyrometer, oil, water -- across the bottom. I also purchased a 42 Draft Designs (http://www.42draftdesigns.com/) countersunk triple gauge panel. It's meant to work with VDO gauges in a VW, but I'm hoping a guage is a gauge and a DIN is a DIN.
Was there anything unexpected about the installation?
Again, awesome choice!

Hey 4G63>0000?
Sweet, i think they are really nice and i herd good things from them. Plus i love how they save space, personally i don't like having more than 3 guages, gets to confusing and looks to messy, and its annoying to keep on looking at different places while driving! I was wondering where you ordered the guages from. If you bought them from a store, than maybe, do you know a website where i can order them for?

I had a question about how this panel actually installs into the dash...I have been looking around trying to find a place that I could get a 3 gauge mount for a single din on the dash. How exactly does it install into the upper DIN? From the pictures it just looks like a flat panel....what keeps it from moving...or falling out? Thanks!

by the way that aluminum plate looks swwwweeeettt. Does anyone know if the Autotechnics gauges are good? I keep seeing them and they look pretty cool.....just curious to if they actually worked well or not.

Sorry guys....one last thing...do you think this panel will work about the same way at this panel you are showing me? What kinds of things did you have to do to get your panel to fit correctly? Sorry for all the stupid questions...i would just love to have my own gauge setup in the center console...thanks so much...here's a pic of the plate i found.

OK I LIED....I really like the gauges and the deals that 42draftdesign has.....does anyone know if the oil pressure and oil temp senders attach to the evo the same way as their instructions. I know the intstructions are for a VW, but will the threads and stuff line up the same on the EVO for removing the stock sender unit? Any insight on compatibility of installation hardware with their VDO gauges would be greatly appreciated...THANKS!
