    ok i hope im doing something new here. I am getting a joystick from an F-15 for my shifter (auto) and am going to route my lights and blinkers to the triggers and buttons and stuff but i want alot of guages to make the inside look like the inside of the plane also so here are the guages i can think of gas,oil pressure, temp, oil temp, trans temp, tach, vaccum, and now im drawing a blank so any more would help

    up to 11 (thanks) the guages dont really need to be something useful but they have to work. like i have a friend that said a temp guage for exhaust i dont even know if that is a real thing but if it is i will get one.

    Boost but then you will need a Turbo or Supercharger

    Not technically a gauge, but do not forget the GPS navigation system. I know they make exhaust temp units that are used on diesel's. They must install one every other week on TRUCKS (Spike TV). Should work fine in a car.

    Also, Volts, Amps, remote tire pressure sensors With this thing lit up at night you will need sunglasses.

    Maybe get one of those review mirrors with outside air temp and a compass built in.
