    Bought this

    Hi all

    Bought a gauge holder today.....

    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/BMW-E36-VDO-Gauge-Holder-Panel-Pod-320-325-328-M3-/170605549782?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &hash=item27b8e218d6


    ....now all i need is gauges. Thinking of VDO Oil temp, Voltmeter and 1 other.

    Any suggestions and/or experience with these????

    Hoping to end up with something like this pic

    like that, looks well. will it be a big job to hook it all up to the relevant parts in the engine bay? How do you plan to get past the firewall and will you have to remove the full dash to route the cables?

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you

    Take pics and do up a DIY guide. I think they'd look well and I'd like to skip any install issues you have!:P
