Ready to roll to VIR for a Track Daze weekend. They are in need of instructors, if anyone can make it.

I would like to monitor the oil pressure too, more than likely I will get the same brand but my problem right now is where to install those gauges.

Also, I don't know how to install them especially connect them so I need a recommendation of shop that can do all these. My car is at PTuning for over a week now, they are having trouble getting the gauges and doing these for me so I need a new shop.

Thanks guys.
Ron, I actually ran the SPA dual gauge on my s2000. I had Oil temp/coolant temp in one gauge. I did not have an oil pressure gauge.

I actually need to install some gauges as well. Should we make an install day for gauges?

Gauges are one of those things I've paid to have installed in the past. It's something you're going to look at everytime you're in the car. If there is a knowledgeable member willing to help Ron and I out I'm sure we can supply beverages/pizza.

Guys, you can install basic gauges yourself. The most difficult part would be routing the wires and mounting sensors. Wiring up Ground, 12V, Illumination is easy since you have access to those connections in the fuse box.

Uncoolron:

Assuming I'm available, I'm in. I'm handy with a soldering iron. Maybe I can get my car up in the air (and if the stars align) to get Oleg to finally roll my fenders LOL.

Ron, those SPA gauges were the first ones I had. I looked at the directions and was like and ended up getting rid of them, so good luck. The Defi ones and the PLX ones I have now weren't too hard.
