Yes...a multi-function head's up display would be sweet!

I like the idea but I think you'd have to cut a pretty large hole in the dash and I have no idea how you'd mount it securely.

I badly want an a-pillar mount.

I had the Defi HUD on another car; didn't really like it too much. You have to put some film on the windshield and it always bugged me.

On my Turbo, I use a Blitz DC boost guage (http://www.machv.com/blitdcboosga.html) with a suction cup mount in the lower left corner of the windshield. It works great (multifunction) and looks good/clean and is simple to install (and move) given the suction cup mount.

Edit - Here is one for sale: http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=735266

I have the Andial gauge and find it outdated and difficult to see. There are many options out there as mentioned above. However, I am really impressed with this particular one.

Here's my converted phone console with Defi Boost and Oil Temp gauges. The boost gauge is pretty but pretty useless in that location. I watch the oil temp gauge and pretty much ignore the boost gauge.

I did not realise how deep the 997 pod is !

If it is a Apillar mount you want, get one made.
A friend had one made.
He took a boost gauge to a decent car sound installer, and they made a housing
it looked factory:

Wow! That is a PURPLE interior!

And you can tell he is in Australia because his steering wheel is upside down!

Here is mine.

Very simple, replaces the clock and easy to read.

Rubicon is the colour name


NICE install !
What did you do with warning lights ?

Great examples, guys. I think I might start with the boost gauge in the left vent as per Andial's setup, then consider later one of the above options. I like the "quaint" VDO analog clock where it is, but I could see putting a digital boost readout into it. And the A-pillar setup, if done professionally, could work. Ideally, I would find someone to put a digital readout somewhere on the tach or speedo gauge without sacrificing the factory digital display items. I could then simply replace the left HVAC vent again back to "stock."

Hmm. I'm liking the "wart" idea...

Hmmm....since you have the console, it would be more useful IMHO to switch locations of the boost gauge and the clock. I'm sure an extension harness could be fab'd which will let you retain all the warning lights, etc.

I have a console that I need to figure out what to do with...either gauges or a bearcat or a nav monitor.

If money were no object than that would be the way to go!
