I put A pliiar gauges in- autometer. Everything is hooked up and work great but the water temp. Can't seem to find a spot for the sensor. It is electric. Anyone having one of these, please let me know what u did.

if i'm not mistaken, you have 2 reasonable
options:

a) drill a hole in the coolant crossover for the
sending unit, or

b) get some brass fittings that allow you to place
a brass "T" into one of the two large coolant lines.

pick your poison.....post pics when the job is
complete, i might be interested in doing this to,
if you do a nice job

I bought 3 gauges yesterday, and cant wait for them to get installed. It will set the whole interior to a whole new level.

gauges FTW.

Thats fine. Im not judging you.

But you know the guys im talking about, you see the stock civics with 40 gauges in their car. Its poinless.

I know i saw. Man id love to get a set of cams but they'd really hurt my $$wallet$. I bet they would really wake up a nitrous car though!

I ran an 11.7 in the 1/4 with 3:55 gears, stock heads, and stock cam. Omg if i have some 3:73's, big nitrous cams, and some sick heads id be low 11's maybe better. God its nice to day dream!
