Interior 1st Gen Most liked posts in thread: Extra Gauges, Let's see em....

Posted elsewhere here, but since you asked.....

Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Boost, H2O Temp, all surrounding Tach; Scan Gauge II mounted beneath center console switch panel.

 

Progress from 2 to 4

 

I only look at gauges when I see red and blue light flashing behind me.:lol:

 

One Aeroforce Interceptor and a VEI Systems Valentine 1 display. Later I reversed them with the VEI on the right instead of the left side due to glare issues with the Aeroforce.

 

Post #8 in this thread was my Aeroforce Interceptor gauges in my previous MINI. Here they are re-installed in my '13 Roadster (Yeah, I know this is a 1st Gen thread, but figured this post might pass muster since these units will work in either Gen). Able to use the very same Cravenspeed mount and reconfigured the gauge locations to accommodate the R57/R59 standard "UV Exposure Meter." I also swapped out the gauge faces.

I didn't even need to reprogram them -- they showed the exact same data I had set up previously.

 

Just a single Scangauge above the tach for me..........I feel so inadequate :biggrin5:

 

I've posted photos of mine before, but here they are again.

I made the gage mount out of 1/8" aluminum and the pods are made from 2" ABS drain pipe.

I have boost/vacuum, oil temperature, oil pressure and water temperature gages.

Chief..... You forgot "FME" for the price of diesel. :cryin:

 

Heres what I have currently, Marshall water temp, soon to be AFR, upper left, Marshall boost, lower left, AEI V1 display, upper right and Scangauge, lower right.

 

Just a simple boost gauge in my MCS, nothing fancy.

:cornut: Master Chief, my son(former AW) looks at this and says"Wow! He's talented." Then he looks at the name Tron Chief and falls in the floor laughing."No wonder he's good, he's a Master Chief Petty Officer Avionics guy." "How do you know that?" "Tron is the Navy name for avionics guys. I'm glad he did such a good job with those gauges or his people never would have let him forget."

I know its an older thread, but I finally committed to VEI Gauges in orange!!! Order placed today:

Single:
Oil Pressure V1-OPP-MO (Orange display)
Boost V1-BOP-MO (Orange display, PSI)

Dual:
Intake Temp/Intake Temp D1-IAF-IAF-MO (Orange display)
EGT/AFR D1-PYF-WBA-MO (Orange display)

Finally my A-pillar that was inspired by Nathan will be put to use!!!

 

BlwnAway,

Nice placement of the gauges. Since it is still winter here, I have no pics to "show you mine". LOL

And only 9 settings for the light? Geesh, you should have at least 10 + different colors. (kidding)

Great job!

I couldn't find any still pics of my Aeroforce Interceptor gauges but I made a little video clip last fall after I finished installing them:

I essentially traded off the nice gauge face match of the Marshall gauges (which I had on my previous '05) for the versatility and programmability of the Interceptors, not to mention the vastly easier installation.
