The center guages have a water temperature, volts, and oil pressure( which i wont use because its mechanical) and the pillar pods have air fuel ratio and oil pressure( which i am using because its electrical)...I have had the Y-pipe on my car and i really like it but i had to take it off to get my oil pan off( which is another story) and i just took a picture of it... the whole car is gutted, no carpet, sound deadening or anything... i figured if my interior doesnt look that great anyways i might as well make it light so i have an excuse and it wont hurt my performance.

yeah the air fuel that i have doesnt really do much, its just goes up and down as i hit the gas... and everyone needs a little rice in their car...
sad u think that way!

I don't agree, there have been many who have run their cars till 300k miles and none of those gauges, I see no fit reason for them then just for looks and uselessness.

Well the really only reason i have the guages under my radio is because my car came without the box to go into that spot,and i was at Autozone and they had the mini guages for 29.99 so i decided that i would put them in instead of buying a box to go in there because at least the guages i will use.

first of all...how reliable you think those $29.99 gauges are going to be?
so you have a box there...why not just get a draw/cupholder back in there?

Haha, you win some and you lose some... i am willing to take the risk that they suck because its not going to put me out a whole lot of money... and with no interior in my car its easy to hold a cup in between the seat and the E-brake... but i am going downhill with this conversation so im gonna stop now.

This is hilarious, no heart attack will happen here, just simply bored at work and bustin chops. But kinda serious in this matter, he even said he wasn't going to use some of them. Come on its kinda ridiculous putting on stuff on your car just for show and not for real use. It's sad to see this and people are happy doing this. 
That is all!
That is all!

Well i said i wasnt going to use one of them... and then the air/fuel doesnt do anything ( but i didnt know when i bought it that it wouldnt really work) so maybe one day i will replace it with a boost guage when i get turbo and then i will be beastin on you and it wont matter.
