I have the Lotek 3 gauge pillar replacement. I got it from Jason at APlusPerformance. It's as easy as pie to install in the car. It takes the standard 2 1/16" gauges, everybody makes them. The gauges are the only hard part. I got the Vacuum, Oil Pressure, and Air/Fuel. Those were easy to wire up. If you get ones like fuel pressure then they might be more labour intensive. It took me half a day to get everything in and working, although I was drinking a bit

There are two plugs over the oil filter on the 95-97s, I am not sure about the later years. I just took out one of the plugs and screwed my sensor in. They were the same thread and everything. I can post up pictures later.

You can tap into any vacuum like coming from the TB. There is a thin grey vacuum line comming from it on my 97 that seems to be going inside the car through the firewall. This is the one I tapped. It is thin and gray by the TB and then has a connector and turns black. I just took out the connector, put my t-fitting in and done.

Opppps..... Kind of forgot about this. It's such nice weather out! It was so bright that the gauges on picture came out kind of dim. It looks really good at night though. When they are off, it's all black.

looks nice man. I see that ebay has glow shift 3-pod pillar and your choice of three gauges for $119.99. Is that a good price?

how do you hook up the a/f gauge. I want gauges that are easy to install. I'm about to start baseball practice six days a week and school on top of that so I need something easy to install.

You just tap the purple wire comming from your O2 sensor.

Here is an OLD picture of where to hook up the air/fuel wire. This is the 2.2, but the 2.4 is similar, you get the idea.
