    Make a disgrace of it to me, I'd rip them out in the next 3 mins before we burn it just to save future embarrassment :)

    I actually like them, nothing wrong with a good quality gauge and they are a bit of a hark back to it's Japanese origins.

    A nice car is a nice car, tasteful mods are no harm. It'd be worse to remove them.in the interest of conforming if you ask me.

    Is that vacuum gauge seriously measuring pressure in inch of mercury (in/hg) I mean there is non SI units then there is inches of mercury I didn't think it was even in use anymore. I'd prefer mbar or pa but even psi would be better.

    From what I don't know, my point is it's an unusual unit to use for pressure in this day and age but maybe that what traditionally used or what's used in Japan I don't know.

    Other than that I actually quite like the gauges although would agree that android with digital display would look tidier. I suppose it just depends some prefer a physical gauge.

    inHg is used in the USA. A Boeing flight-deck would really upset you. :D

    The steering wheel looks the business, a league ahead of the one in the golf r in my opinion. Chunky with alacantara, looks very nice.

    They will be coming out next month once I can source a replacement pillar. If I took them out now there would be 8 random holes in the pillar which would annoy me more than the gauges

    Cheeky gauge pick in the DC5. Im not really into them or the position they are in. Might take them out and wire in an android double din which can show virtual gauges
    why do you need a vacuum gauge? if you are planning turbo you could better get a turbo gauge instead.


    Im getting an android double din but also have gauges (or well not yet mounted because they are in holland and im in ireland)

    - Oil Temp
    - Boost
    - AFR Wideband (didnt bought this one yet)

    Picking this (1985 635CSi) up in the first week of January, collected the V5C today (UK Reg)
    Needs massive amounts of welding and possibly new wings, bumper to be rechromed also. I understand it comes with an almost complete spare leather interior also.

    Good luck with it! They're a stunning looking car. Make sure you do a build thread with pictures. I'm dying to see how it goes :p
