oil pressure, voltometer, amp temp.. it really depends on what you want to keep track of, unless you just want them for show...

If you actually want to keep track of your car's systems, maybe the oil pressure, voltometer, and water temp...

If you just want show, maybe an air/fuel ratio, amp temperature, and pyrometer?

I agree with billy. Put oilpressure, and a voltometer in and then get a turbo. Or just do air temp also.

im doing voltmeter, tachometer, and then air/fuel (i know its a light show, oh well [&:]). You've got an SI, so you dont need the tach so oil temp or pressure would prolly be a good idea

narrowband air/fuel ratio gauges are the epitome of rice, seriously, don't do it.

Both excellent ideas! Its always best to get stuff that is really going to benefit you, rather than something that just "looks good"
