With Oil temp, Water temp, Transmission temp, Fuel pressure, Oil pressure, Battery condition, Amp meter etc available, what do other 13b owners believe are of true benefit to the driver and not just dash board bling?

I am not after a Boeing cockpit look, just want to add gauges that useful to a Extend Port 13B that is used for "spirited" road use.

Hey mate, I am not sure if I am getting old or just retarded but in my car i cant look at anything except the rev gauge and even then its only in 3rd gear, but I mostly shift by feel and the rev buzzer. But it does have 500bhp and shit happens super fast.

I say rev counter #1
Water temp #2
Warning lights for oil pressure #3 (blinks when under set minimum) off when at proper pressure works great!
AFR instrument #4 is a cool beneficial thing to have when tweaking your jetting in the carby and they are inexpensive now.

BIG REV COUNTER ! in the middle rotary style, all else is not really that important lol.
