Default How about here for gauges location...

After trying numerous places i think i will settle for clock location, the two gauges (plus stands) fit perfectly in the recessed area and i can use the original clock wiring for power/illumination etc.....I tried pillar pods (hate them) and gauge cluster pods (hate them even more) and couldnt figure anywhere else suitable...i'm now without a clock but i figure oil temp/pressure is more important than time any day

That looks nice and convenient wiring for sure. Even though I use a clock a lot I think that this position keeps the gauges from being any sort of interference in terms of vision.

I prefer the gauge bezel by the steering wheel. (EDIT: But I haven't tried it in front of the clock)

They look good in the Si because the bezel pods dont obscure the OE temp/fuel gauges whereas in the ITR they do...i borrowed a cluster bezel and half the temp and fuel gauges were covered by the pods...didnt like that at all.

I don't know, I don't think they block anything important.

High temp = important

Low gas = Important




On the SI they block a little bit of the tach

Clock location looks good! Are they angled towards the driver at all?

If the Turbo Pig had a location like that on the dash, I'd look into moving my boost gauge.

Only thing keeping me away from ever mounting gauges like that is in the event of an accident they could break loose and become a projectile.

wouldn't the stock integra clock location produce a lot of reflections at night?

I didnt angle them towards me as they can be clearly read facing directly forward. Blue R I just noticed today as it was dull/cloudy that they reflect of the windscreen and its pretty annoying. I never noticed it before as it was bright and sunny and its not noticeable at night either...i dont know if i'll just get used to it or if i should get some form of cowl to put over the top of them, i was looking at some dual gauge pods on ebay and i reckon if i got one and cut the front of it open and mounted it over the top of the guages then it should improve things, i just dont know how it would look.

mugen - yeah with the insert I used they also reflect a bit at night. All they need is a little cover over the top, or maybe try angling them down a bit.

You should try facing those gauges towards the driver side instead of straight back. Thats my biggest pet peeve to have gauges that face away from the driver...
