ill get the gauges up soon like i said, they look pretty tight.. one recomendation, dont use menards for finding your pipe fittings for your vac mani, they are dumb as hell, had no 1/8"npt threads with a 3/8" barbed fitting, had to fit like 3 pieces togeather to make it from 1/8"-3/8" so it looks gay, but hey it worked [&:]but they did have the 1/4"npt-3/8"barb so half of my break booster T-Off looks decent, and they had the size connector for my boost gauge hose too, so it wasnt a total gayfest.
what'dya all think so far?

gauges were a serious pain in the *** to wire up!!! directions were vague so it was a lot of test lighting... in the end we got them hooked up. (partially, the boost gauge works and lights up but its on constantly if my ignition is on because im not hooked up to the lighting source just the acc on my ignition. my oil pressure gauge lights up and is ready to get wired but im waiting till next oil change to install the sandwhich adaptor and wire up the rest to get a read, and it stays on at all times like my boost gauge cuz of the 12v light source, bla bla bla, hate not completing something cuz i get stuck)
need help on something:
whats a 12v lighting source? would it be any of the + screws on the back of my mph/rpm cluster box thing? theres a bunch of circuits and stuff but i didnt know which one to hook my 12v lighting source to so i left em be cuz its easy to getback there and ill do it when i figure it all out.
ill post some more sweet pics this weekend, they look pretty tight and they light up my whole freakin car, i tried to run a firebird (v6 so worthless ) with some punks in it and he rolled down his window and said, "not even gonna try if your boosted" i laughed, and drove on..
nothing better than being a total fake booster ricer! i should mount my intercooler and go buy one of those sweet ebay things that you hook to your exhaust and they go WIIIPAHHH like a bov... and i hear they gain like 15rwhp on a civic. no joke
alright guys, this was just a quick update on my progress, im getting there, probably another month and a half away, (this month is so $$$ 4 year aniversary = $300 bucks easily, have to get my tiny little oil leak fixed, which better be cheap, and my O.T. just got cut, so my checks are like $150-250 less, freakin sucks i was planning on the end of this month that plans out the window though)
hear from you all soon

sounds like you are on your way didder. one thing a 12v source is this for your gauges? if so then just wire them into one of your fuses. i wired mine into my lights so everytime i turn on my lights, my gauges will light up as well.

take the fuse out, strip the wire and have it so the actual wire is showing. twist it up and put it around the fuse. jam the fuse back in with the wire around it and whoallla its fixed.
