I always thought the gauges on the early C4s were a little goofy. All of these kits look sweet!
I was going to ask if they had a kit for the last C4s... but....

Before I had posted my question i actually purchased the 6 gauge setup with the 5" tach and Speedo. I like the idea of having a built in shift lite as well. Thought that was a nice feature.
Presently in a pillar pod I have a narrow band, WB02. Since I'm going with the analog gauges I also purchased a digital fuel psi and digital vac gauge to be located in the area that the english/metric board since that would no longer be needed. Should be a sweet setup once I have it installed. IMO, I feel better having the analog and that I'll have more control over knowing exactly everything thats going on with the motor when my laptop isn't connected.

Hey Ed, I'll be checking with you after you install the gauges. I've been toying with the idea of getting the six gauge set myself and would like to see how much trouble you have with the installation...

I've toy'ed with the idea for the past year. I'll definetly let you know how it goes. The only catch when ordering one is it seems to be a 2-3 week turnaround on one. So if your looking for it right away its not gonna happen.

What are the six gauges on your new cluster?.. I know you have speed , tach, gas gauge, water temp gauge, probably Voltage gauge, but what is the last one for, maybe oil temp??...WW

If i were to order one of these, I would get the 8 gauge cluster. Why not spend the extra dollars right away and get one with everything you would ever want to know

Glad you brought this up. My car is missing the LCD gauge cluster. I planned to put analog in it's place or go with Summit's digital cluster they sell. This kit looks pretty nice, especially since they claim it comes prewired and connects to the existing dash wiring.

I didn't want the 8 gauges all located and feel like they're bunched up...just my opinion.
Personally I like the idea of the digital fuel psi gauge, vac gauge located in the cockpit. I got the wires for them run all ready so once everything comes in it should be pretty easy to wrap up

Looked everywhere for a 1990 replacement before I bought a used unit off of ebay. My new old unit works fine and likely cost a lot less, but would have much prefered the analog set up. Wish I handn't seen this tread.

In the last 6 months "the list" has gotten a LOT longer. It went from fixing stuff to just buying ****.
