Yo, Lonnie!
Hey, good to hear from you! That dashboard shot was no-where near completion, we were just figuring out where to put the tach and where to cut the hole for the steering column. I gots an oil pressure gauge, a water temp gauge and possibly an oil temp gauge that are going to go in there at some point in the near future! Like before I drive it...
Although, now that you mention it... A fellow I know that autocrosses a Honda in one of the Prepared classes has this one huge red light mounted in the center of his dash. It's connected to all of the "idiot light" sensors on the engine. The idea is, if the light goes on, hit the kill switch on the motor, somethin' is bad wrong!
He has gauges too, but the actual "first alert" system is the big light.
I'm sort of aware of the various ways to upgrade the standard tune and various other electronic settings on the PCM, but I haven't studied it at all. We're going to leave everything totally stock including the electronic gadgets until we get the chassis sorted out and re-train the [Intellectually Defecient] behind the wheel. I do appreciate the info, and I'll be looking into that kind of modification sometime not too far off, I imagine.
Either that or I'll just hook up a couple of big ol' turbos... Heehee...
You're doing great on your build, too, Bro... How's that hand doing? I hope you can get back to welding and fitting and such really soon!
Regards-
JDK
