Gauge Pods

My new sol has a mild built motor so I would like to keep tabs on it alot more then just engine temp. I can get the gauge pod off ebay with three gauges for $143 shipped but I have the choice of the three gauges. What would be good choices for my sol?

eBay Motors: 93-97 HONDA DEL SOL TRIPLE GAUGE POD + 3 BLK-7 GAUGES (item 260222030930 end time Mar-26-08 17:23:40 PDT)

I've always wanted a battery voltage meter for convienience. (mainly because of my audio system)

It's good to know ASAP if your oil pressure starts to drop. Could save you alot of damage and money.

I'm thinking:

Air / Fuel Gauge

Oil Pressure Gauge

Fuel Pressure Gauge

It says in the auctios

WORKS ONLY FOR
NARROW BAND OXYGEN SENSORS

If the purpose of the air-fuel ratio meter is to diagnose an existing or possible problem with the sensor and/or to check the general mixture and performance, a narrow band air-fuel ratio meter is sufficient.

In high-performance tuning applications the wide-band system is desirable.

Narrowband oxygen sensors are extremely inprecise. They can't tell the computer the exact air/fuel ratio like wideband oxygen sensors. Technically narrowband oxygen sensors produce an exponential voltage signal, whereas wideband oxygen sensors produce a linear current signal. When the air/fuel ratio is perfectly balanced, a narrowband O2 sensor produces a signal of about 0.5 volts (500 millivolts). When the fuel mixture goes rich, even just a little bit, the O2 sensor's voltage output shoots up quickly to its maximum output of close to 0.9 volts. Conversely, when the fuel mixture goes lean, the sensor's output voltage drops to 0.1 volts.
I found this while searching for some more info about narrow/wide band o2 sensors

I went to autometer and found this Auto Meter


this site sells equipment for wideband o2 sensor's, reader's, and gauge's if you really wanna get crazy with it
WBo2.com WIDEBAND AFR/LAMBDA (Tech Edge)

If your interested I could have a custom set made for you then you could pick up the gauges of your choice. It looks like this:





As for what gauges to get i'd say oil pressure, A/F, oil temp, volt, Pick three.

Don't get those cheap ass ebay gauges either. I'm not a fan of pods because EVERYONE and their mother has a pod.

I'd hafta check. I think they the shop is charging around $80 for one painted any color.

Would you like me to find out the exact amount?
