Yep, not a fan, but that's because I try to keep as under the radar as possible. I have almost everything hidden in my car

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I'm torn on it. Personally I realyl dont like relying on idiot lights. I love gagues. However there are obviously positioned to grab attention. My old LTD had gagues extending the whole way across the passanger side dasboard..but they were low, not brightly lit, and functional (oil pressure, amps, etc)

What's with al the confounded gauges?!?! Why on earth would you have to monitor that much stuff while you're driving???!!!! Yeah, try to talk yourself out of a ticket with that crap.
I was thinking about getting one of those gauge clusters to replace my clock for a while but I can't think of three things I want to monitor while I'm driving. Except for maybe boost and oil temp but still that only two things. This guy looks like he's cleared for take off.

If wanted to monitor all of that I would just connect one of my old laptops (preloaded with some sort of software that could do the monitoring) connect it to the car's computer, and mount it either in the glove box or under the passenger seat. Then, I could go on my drive and afterwards see what the laptop had logged and save it for later use. There's no need to have all of that displayed constantly.
P.S. I'm still new to this so I know of any software that actually does that. But there has to be something out there somewhere. *hint*

Yes, there are quite a few that do it, mostly freeware but others you have to pay for.Libra Monkee wrote: P.S. I'm still new to this so I know of any software that actually does that. But there has to be something out there somewhere. *hint*

Or you could do like me, mod the hell out of your car, get a custom email Protune map, and don't run any gauges whatsoever
