Whats In Your Gauge Pod?

hey guys. Im looking to add some interior touchs up and i want to put in some guages. I know a lot of people have the gauge pod on the pillar but ive also seen some in the ashtray, and the flip down compartment below the headunit. What im looking for is:

Where your gauge is mounted
What kind of guage it is (oil temp, battery, etc)
Who makes it

Pictures would also help.

Thanks

Sean

i'm not using a gauge pod because i think it attracts to much attention, so I went with a zeitronix unit which can measure the following:
-wideband o2 reading
-EGT
-TPS or Boost
-Lambda signal (fuel)

I have it mounted underneath the tach area to the left of the steering wheel for a "flush" look

I have the triple gauge pod, the best place to put gauges in the max is in the din under the headunit, but i have a tv there so i went with a pod......

I have oil pressure, oil temp and boost.

A/F is good only if you have a wideband o2..

Sean, my triple gauge pod has three clocks: one with East coast time, one with the time in Tokyo, and one with Grenwich Mean Time (GMT).

That's definitely what you should do...

Since we are talking about guages, I have a few and am wondering if they are necessary. Nitrous preassure, fuel pressure, EGT, and A/F. Is there a purpose to an EGT guage on a non turboed car?? A/F guage, any reason for this? The car has an AEM adjustable FPR, can that be adjusted looking at the A/F guage?

The A/F ratio gauge isn't a "necessity" but I had it before I had the EGT so I kept it. The others I would say are necessary. The FPR can be adjusted under the hood, but you'll need to go buy a seprate FP gauge to install in the open slot on your FPR. It should be capped off. This makes for easier adjusments. It can be done using the gauge in the cockpit, it's just a little more tedious
