would really like all matching. anyone seen a vdo style egt guage on their travells????

Lee, you can get an EGT gauge in VDO, they're not common but they are out there. Alternatively the Stack ones are quite similar to VDO. I ended up going for a Stack EGT gauge in the end as i found a good deal on one.

There's a bit of info here if you're interested: https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=61399

To be honest, i'm suprised no ones selling these gauges in pods designed for our vans. On the thread linked above, simon mentioned fitting them in the ashtray, sounds a good idea. I've also considered one of these fitted next to the speedo binicle. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/52MM-DEPO-TRIPPLE ... 336495dc50" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

But like all these ideas, i dont want to buy it, to find out it looks cak :lol:

These are usually fitted to badly modified CRX with a "JDM 4 LIFE" sticker on the side :rofl

Don't put them here. You cant see the bloody things because of the gear stick and the angle from the driving seat.

I am thinking about modding my instrument cluster and installing these
http://www.speedhut.com/custom_gauge_de ... er-901.htm

The speedo is GPS so no more incorrect speed and the Oil pressure, water temp and voltage on the 2nd gauge means less clutter. Voltage is useless really would prefer oil temperature. Am guessing either an extra gauge or change the voltage to oil temp if they can. I haven't looked yet but could could be awkward because of the stupid circuit board.

I have a vr6 lump and the sender is inline in the pipe. It looks like Image. Well mine isn't so swish. But you get the idea.
