So has anyone drilled into the dash of a vr4 to install gauges in an ECS pod or anything? If so I'd love to hear about it/see pics!

Absolutely love the clock transformation! It is genius.
here is the link to where i got the idea from and how i did it. I used a AEM not an innovate. only reason was someone gave me an AEM for free so i figured f*** it lets see what i can do. click
I did this with the green led innovate gauge. It's a perfect color match to the stock vr4 dash light color.
I also agree with slugs and apex about not needing a bunch of ugly gauges on display. I only use them for tuning, and my laptop displays and logs everything on it so no need for them really. The stock look is much more appealing.
I too use the ecmlink programable CEL for knock, etc. And the dummy light on the dash for oil pressure. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Also, no going back once you drill holes in the dash. It will look like ass later on when you're sick of the lights from gauges in your eyes at night and rip them back out.

There is not much down there. To get wires through is a bit of a task. You will need electric gauges unless you want to do some major hacking of the dash.
