I ordered a 20 inch red fiber optic rod. I will cut it into 3 sections. And mount it in the pod It will collect the light from the warning lights I am covering and hopfully transmit it to the front of the new pod.

Looking good, now let's see the fun part, the gauge and wiring

Jebsmith · « **Reply #60 on:** February 11, 2011, 07:27:02 AM »

Kelu, that is the easy part. The hard part is putting the dash back together.

Great job Jeb!

Looks good, can't wait for the finished product.

Jebsmith · « **Reply #63 on:** February 11, 2011, 02:33:43 PM »

re sanded and bondo'd today. Looks 1000k times better. Waiting to get of work to primer and paint. Now my local shop just has to become a deaer for aeroforce and I'm good to go

Great choice with aeroforce.

Some time ago I was considering too expensive $400 for two gauges.
After I did my own research now Aeroforce end up being the winner:

Quote

-Dozens of critical parameters available for every supported vehicle. Can view 2 to 8 at a time in large, easy to read numbers without touching the gauge.
-Record and play back data on gauge, no need for laptop or other device
-Accepts 2 additional sensors without requiring any additional equipment. Allows you to read such things as air/fuel ratio, EGT temps, etc. that are not on the vehicle from the factory.
-High intensity warning lights can be programmed to indicate unsafe vehicle operating conditions.
-Integrated shift lights.
Displays:
# RPM
# MPH
# Intake Air Temperature (post Intercooler)
# Ambient Air Temperature (pre Intercooler)
# Exhaust Gas Temperature (PCM Calculated)
# Manifold Pressure (vacuum/boost) displayed in PSI
# Battery Voltage
# Injector Pulse Width in msec.
# Injector Duty Cycle (%)
# Air Flow Rate into engine
# Long Term Fuel Trim
# Short Term Fuel Trim
# O2 Sensor Voltage
# Barometric Pressure
# Ignition Advance
# Base Spark
# PCM Spark Adjust
# Fuel Status (open/closed loop)
# Wastegate Solenoid Duty Cycle (%)
# Knock Retard
# Knock Sensor Raw Voltage
# Throttle Position Percentage
# Throttle Position Sensor Raw Volts
# Calculated Net Horsepower
# Engine Load
# Transmission Slip
# Current Transmission Gear
# Torque Delivered to Transmission
# Torque Converter lockup status
# Brake pressure
# Brake Booster Travel
# Steering Angle
# Non-driven Wheel Speed
# Lateral G's
# Yaw
# Fuel economy (instantaneous and average)
# P-ratio - pressure ratio MAP/Barometer
2 user configurable analog inputs**

Looks awesome! Be sure to post one with it all together.

Installing today.

This is the one I have mounted under the dash on the left hand side.

Maybe:

•Black Universal Dual Dash Pod
•Width: 7" Depth: 4.5" Height: 3"
•Holds two 52mm or 2 1/16th inch gauges

Might be too deep!

I have a problem with my eyes or there is no gauge?

I know that hardest part was to put all dash back, just teasing you

Jebsmith · « **Reply #72 on:** February 12, 2011, 05:56:52 PM »

waiting on my local shop to get the gauge in stock.

Kelu · « **Reply #73 on:** February 12, 2011, 05:57:33 PM »

Any good deals? Or regular price?
