another 3rd gen pet peeve
I really wish I could swap the locations of the rpm gauge with the speedometer or the gas/temp gauges. I like to drive with my steering wheel down when in "pursuit mode" and up when driving civil. When it is down I can barely see the rpms tho... grrr.

get an aftermarket rpm gauge and put it on ur dash....that's the cheapest and not messy way to do it....

[/QUOTE]You don't need no stinking rev guage .....................When in pursuit all you need to know is that you can keep up or pass ................... and in civil mode all you need to know is that you are moving - the rev guage is only there so you can set your idle speed properly.

Me thinks the manipulation of the steering wheel angle/position while on the move is a way more serious "issue" when switching between driving modes
You could try modifying the current housings (cutting out + putting in makeshift plastic mounts) for the gauges, swap them around and (re-)wire them directly, wire for wire? The warning lights can stay where they are
If you're going to get those huge ricey ones, atleast modify the housing and install them INside your dash. You still need to see where you're driving on the road, and the world doesnt need/want to know that you have "boost" and "oil temperature".

that was funny... I havent even seen the new knight rider yet!! Im not going to do anything to the dash i just wish it were in the center, oh well. I guessa I just have to lean to the left to check rpm's.
you need a wheel that open at the top like a airplane wheel

New 89 i just picked up. needs lost of TLC!
