I also like very much the oval Fairmont clock shaped boost gaugue as well.

I didn't purchase from Greenline; I purchased from someone in the NSW wrx club who distributed Apexi stuff, and I've had these gauges lying around for 2 years. I know guys on rexnet do mention Greenline a lot.Brian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13463-what-gauges-you-put-in/page/2/#findComment-178254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like very much the oval Fairmont clock shaped boost gaugue as well.I have the same panel but I will be feeling the holes so it doesnt have any round plugs holding it into the dash. will try to make some clips so it can just clip in and getting it sprayed the same color as the centre console or done in a brushed aluminium finnish like the tbar.

Where would one get those gauge pods that you have? How much would it set me back? What size gauges does it fit?This may be a stupid question but here goes: - How does one measure the size of their gauges ... is it just measured straight across?Thanks heaps Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13463-what-gauges-you-put-in/page/2/#findComment-178496 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interested to see this when it's done. Looking for a factory 'look' with guages, which is why I might do the nizpro fairmont clock boost option.
