New Pillar gauges and custom trunk setup.. lots pf pics

Hey, so I installed two pillar gauges, air fuel ration and fuel pressure. The FP gauge install was pretty straight foward, I took my time and did everything right. The hardest part wwas fitting the wires through the gromet behind the wheel well. I have all the wires ran, but I still need to hookup the wire to the 02 sensor feed(can someone tell me where?) They look good, ive got a red bulb in the FP to match my stock gauges. It came out pretty clean too, (with the help of my bother the electrician all my connections are good and look professional). *btw in the pic the two ugly as$ screws are only there till I can find the two nice ones I had.*

Also my brother built a box in the trunk to hold all my brains for the multi-media system and to house the dvd/mp3 player and now the dreamcast as well. He did a pretty clean job, we ran out of carpet so well have to touch somethings up later but for a free job its great.

Ill post the pics in replys:

i highly recommend you find something to support that huge sender. having it just hanging there just asks for it to be snapped off and you know the gas has tendency to spray when there's a leak.

you probably CAN just leave it..but do u want to risk it?

dont worry its leaning against the barke fluid resvoir and Im waiting for my friend to bring over the support piece for his old intake that will support it more. good looking ou though.

Chris its not a kit you have to buy the gauges and the pod (off a 92 integra). all together I paid about $100.

Heres a good shot of the Greddy Cat-back

What an As$
