Hey guys, Im new around here, I picked up an 89 rs for free, needs alternator and driveshaft, got everything, just dont have much time right now, but anyways.

I got bored the other nite, and i am building up a remote mount turbo kit, I have a t4 .60 ar turbo and and intercooler from a GN im in the process of fabing everything up and trying to get all the small misc. stuff for the setup.

But yea, anyways i got bored, lol, and made a "Custom" guage pod, it sits above the radio/ac controls.

I first fabed up out of cardboard the piece i wanted and then i made everything out of 3/16th plywood I got at my local hobby store, and for the face i used this balsa wood.

Anyways if anyone is interested Ill do a complete, easy write up on how to make this, total parts cost was about $18.

Heres some pics, check um out let me know what you guys think!

the a/f ratio guage is a faze guage, which sunpro no owns that company.

and the volts and oil pressure guages are glowshift, cheap ebay ones, but they change 7 different colors and they do the job good enough!

i saw the glowshift gauges on ebay and was kind of hesitant bc i never heard of them. they look pretty nice, and the price is right. at least now i know they're halfway decent! i'm def going with an autometer tach though!
