Here's part of my cockpit:
Left: Volts Middle: Vacuum Right: Water temp


Old pick at night with the old Voltage gauge


Volts gauge is for monitoring when the ECU is switching on and off the Alternator (VX turns it off as much as it can)

Vacuum Gauge to help keep it in lean burn.

Water Temp to just help watch how grill blocks affect engine temps.

Air temp gauge that is plumbed into my air intake to monitor incoming air temps from the WAI.


And a shot of the rest of the cockpit:
Phone holder in center vents, iPod touch holder made by TomTom that turns it into a GPS system, and a farther back shot of the gauges.


I will be adding an LED to show when the cooling fan is on, but I already know what temp it turns on and off at and can tell by the water temp gauge, but we all know that more LEDS are fun!

All the new gauges are LED backlit so they draw very little current.

LED tail light project is getting put on the front burner again so I can get it finished this winter as well.
