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:

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.

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

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

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.
