Just got my s13 on Monday and im not wasting any time though i do have a little wait till i can order my SR20DET. Ive got plenty of gauges to install (4) in the meantime and already wired the SAFC up, just need to go back and solder the connectinos.

I know i can probably buy a 2 gauge pod and a 1 gauge pod for the pillar, but what about some cool custom junk? Anybody got some pics or ideas to share?

So far i've got (all autometer)

A/FEGTBoostOil Pressure

i think thats all i'll need to start out with. Electrical fuel pressure gauges are expensive!

Right now, i think the SAFC is going on the steering column, below the stereo or on the dash. not sure which yet.

Im not too keen on glovebox installs (thats where my MSD will probably go) but any pics are welcome.

I already did a search and didnt come up with anything.
