Has anyone ever installed guages above the glovebox, directly in front of the passneger seat? Would this interfere with the air bag?

 

How would you see them over there? Seems to defeat the purpose of having the gauges in the first place if you never can see them. anyway, I wouldn't want to be turning my head way over there on the track when my attention should be elsewhere...

 

The gauages will be on an angle facing the driver moulded in the dash.

 

How many gauges do you plan to put there? Why not put them under the radio, or above the radio? Triple pillar, gauge bezel, dimmer and the fake cruise control spot would be ideal. No sense in putting them over there.

 

I have the tach on the A pillar, two in dash where the cruise would be another where the dimmer was, autometer dash cluster, and i already removed the cigarette lighter and put one there. I'm out of spots. I want to stay away from a pillar pod, so that was the only other spot i thought of.

It will not interfere with the air bag. Just create a nice looking housing for them and mount them on an angle. Only put gauges in there that you don't really need, tuning type gauges or ones you will rarely check. It's never a great idea to take your eyes that far off the road to check an important gauge.

 

How about here&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;



If you mount them on the passenger side you will be distracted by them after initially fitting them. Mine are in the centre and i found myself constantly lookig at them for a few days after fitting them, having to look all the way over to the passenger side dash could be dangerous.

 

why the hell do you need so many guages? damn

 

what for gauges do you have? seems like you are running quite a few. i dont even run that much on turbo cars

 

Air/Fuel, Oil Pressure, Boost/Vaccuum, Voltmeter, Pyrometer. Id like to now put in Oil Temp and Intake Temp.

 

My Apexi AVCR is where the clock used to be.

Ditch the voltmeter, ricer

SOL_JDM (can't remember how to spell it) has gauges on the pass. side. he might have removed his airbags, too. They looked pretty cool, but I'd rather have them over on the driver's side.

 

Ditch the volt meter (doesnt the AVCR show voltage anyway?) and also the air/fuel ratio gauges and install the new gauges in their place.

 

Go with the clock area. Especially if you have an aftermarket cd player, cause the time is there if you need a clock.

 

ditch A/F , its worthless. Get a wideband to replace it. \Voltmeter isnt really a vital to check on .
Intake temp would be nice, but do they even make an intake temp gauge?
