I found some nice-looking 1.5" gauges and a friend helped me make a panel to put them in the cubby under the cupholder in my Daytona. On the far left is a switch for the radiator fan. When the switch is off, the fan operates normally, but I can turn it on to have the fan on whenever I like (manual mode is fused and relayed separately as well). My car is black and even with the 180 t-stat it gets a bit hotter than I would like--that is why I made that mod. I can still slide out the cupholder with this setup also.

I tried that but found having to look down there to check my vitals wasn't always condusive to being totally alert on the road so I yanked them back out.

Thanks. I put these in to supplement the dash gauges. I like to know what the marks on the dash mean lol. I am saving the better sight-line mounting areas for down-the-road mods like EGT, wideband, etc., that I can't afford yet. Car will stay basically stock for awhile anyway.

My friend just helped me get some tunes in the car tonight. I love it! We had to rewire some stuff--previous owner did a great hack job on the radio harness. It is great now though!
