Anyone done this? I'd like to fabricate a panel that would fit 3 in the stereo area under my deck simaler to an Evo 3:

Becuase I need my oil pressure and volt readings, my 89 Celica had them but not this one. So anyone have any info on it, difficulty of wiring, hard to find wires, tips on mounting and the like? Thanks

You could do something like Tufy's center console. >smile.gif>

Is your oil pressure gauge electrical or mechanical? Regardless, it'll involve working with the car's oil lines.

Installing a voltmeter is incredibly easy. Usually one wire goes to a switched +12volts, and the other goes to ground. Sometimes there's an extra wire for illumination or something else, but your gauge installation instructions will say what the wires do.

Yeah thats like exactly what I wanted to do...^
So the oil thing will be kinda difficult I am assuming?
