I like them there
No where else to put them really. All the wires are hidden and visibility is easy so I'm quite happy with them. Had them in the same place on my scooby which I thought looked
as wellscoob's defis

Takes a bit of getting used to, keep looking down at the speedo and revs, rather than looking at the HUD. It's like stepping into a cockpit but I still think it's

looks a bit clustered for my liking, but with all the wires hidden, sounds like a hard job well done

Cockpit and a half that. I'm contemplating 3 defis in the middle, damn expensive though.
Can you see the most important guage in a scooby, behind the boost?
(..The fuel)

i think they are terrible but that's my opinion , i might be a numptie but ai least i'm not a naive one !!

Looks "busy" how the hell do you manage to concentrate on driving whilst checking that lot out? I think my car would be through a hedge if I had that lot to worry about as well as driving!
Each to their own, personally I woudn't have a clue what did what, why, when and what to do about it if it did do something it shouldn't.
So long as your happy that's what matters and in fairness a neat job regarding wires etc!

As my car is currently running approximately 550BHP being distracted by the guages is the least of my worries
A lead foot is more likely to land me in the hedges backwards The car is quite high spec so I think it's important to know exactly what's going on - warning signs from the oil pressure and temp guages on my last car saved me an engine rebuild
The guages need to be visible, not much point hiding them in the glove box.......besides, the Apexi hand controller lives in there

Looks quality in the dark, the BF's on the low setting almost match my dials as only the edges light up similar to the defis

, I would imagine that having a lead foot could land you in all sorts of trouble. Their was me thinking that 330 bhp was frantic and sometimes scary - may lady luck sail with you and all that sit in the scary passanger seat.I'm not going to even ask what you have had done to your car as I would imagine the list is very loooonnnnnnnggggggggg
.Set to warp 9 Mr Zulu and away she goes, now whats that gauge for again
.I'm paranoid about my car Chris, but you must be on a whole different level to me running that sort of power it scares me to even think about it. Having said that the 333 is my first scooby ever so I have only just got used to that.

Bit more of a handful than my old scoob
you really have to think where and when to apply the power, can't just slam you foot to the floor in any given situation.
