Change one of the gauges from RB

Hi

Im getting the http://www.racingbeat.com/RX8/Oil-System/11817.html, and was wondering if there would be any use in changing on of the gauges out with a voltmeter? And which one would that be?

I really like to know that I have the correct juice for my amplifier and such.

Thanks

Thats entirely up to you. Subjective question. And it seems you've partly answered it already...

as far as which one to remove, thats also entirely subjective and up to you. It's not like any of the provided gauges are needed or necessary in any way. Put what you want in there

True, but I want to know your opinion paulmasoner. What would you removed?


And nothing about "I have other gauges/other solutions" etc

IMO I wouldnt put a voltmeter in. But if I had to, I would replace the oil pressure(for a non modified car)

since you are already buying the RB and a voltmeter, why not also get one of the defroster vent pods as well? This way you can have the 3 rb ones, and have the voltmeter up by your stock gauge cluster? Just a thought... this way you wont be purchasing something and not using it.

Not necessarily true. He could buy the pod and each gauge separate.

True but I am operating under teh assumption that he is going to purchase the whole kit

"http://www.racingbeat.com/RX8/Oil-System/11817.html .. if there would be any use in changing on of the gauges out.."
