Interesting and clean way to mount 3 gauges if
1) you don't have the under dash console like some
2) you don't mind losing your radio

"Line of sight"...LOL. What difference does it make in these apparent street oriented cars? The stock dash is highly insufficient if you are driving quickly on a track - and the limited feeback a stock dash can provide. The saving grace of most 914's is they're so damn slow - reading gauges while moving is a non-issue. Multi-gauges look good but are also short of being a real answer (for a fast car or driver). The best "performance" answer would be an electronic screen/dash...programmable warning lights and custom views that are all contained in one place.

Mike - Really? An A-pillar pod like a ricer...c'mon man! NO, please!

I'm a minimalist guy. I don't want to know what the numbers are, I only want to know when something is "wrong". Toward that end, I removed the center console and its gauges, changed to the oil temp-embedded left gauge, and then ensured all my idiot lights were working fine.

For the race car I'm removing the Stack 8130 head (anyone want to buy?) and reinstalling the stock tach in the center. Then I'm getting a race Technology DASH1 to give me basic display and warnings (I already have a DL1 hidden back there for data acq). Don't bother me unless something is "wrong".

If you really want to geek out you can read a treatise I did some years ago on the airplane panel...
