Okay this is the car in all its glory ugly as heck, but hey its an auto-x car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) This one is from my first season of auto-x with this car.



Heres what it looks like today. Made it even uglier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)



Here is the goal, I can sketch ideas, but I can not draw at the level of others on this forum. Thank you 914 Visulizer. and my black pen. Now if I could find a good front view. And the flares are not on the car since I'm not using GT Flares.



But you get the general idea.

Its been cold around here -15 the other day, and I am out of fuel for my heater (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

So I started working on things that I could do in the house. So back to gauges. I ordered two items, I have given up on redoing a bunch of gauges, yet I might still do one.

I need to have a speedo that works with Subaru trans.
I want a tach, with programable shift light.
I naed a fuel level gauge, I have run my 914 bone dry before
I would like a volt meter
I would like a water temperature gauge
I would like oil pressure


The speedo I solved by getting a new VDO 4" programable speedometer. It has an LED trip / ODO. Just a modern version of our old speedo. Different font, but easier to match.



The Tach, I went with a VDO Pro Eliminator tach, it has a shift light, programmable, and replayable, if I want to watch a tach needle bounce up and down. I will most likely redo the gauge face on the tach, as I don't like the huge Pro Elm lettering...



I will need to remove it from the pedestal mount. And move the function buttons some where else in the car.

I can thank DBCopper for these tips.

And well then I need to build a combo gauge, so here comes the 924 to the rescue. These are the basis for the build, I still need to design the plate that holds the gauge movements in. All needles will move clockwise, I know that bugs some people, but unless I use an amp meter or find other senders that cause the gauge to swing in the opposite direction. Heres the mockup of the gauge.



The VDO fuel gauge is setup that way, I don't like it. It's currently all digital so I can change it. Need to hook it up and see, where empty really is. I eliminated all the extra info I don't need to see.

Notification center for battery, brake, Oil Pressure, and C. E. (Check Engine) Though I could move that to the Fasten Seat Belt light in the center dash.



The system I am using to label the gauges, uses a foil that is activated by the toner on the page. So the design is done in reverse, so I can print it in white and other colors.
