Hey great video I think the issue you faced with the hose that came off was because the adapter is supposed to be 38mm

The Man's Kitchen says:

I would like a 4th gauge for volts. just cause my FC had a volt gauge.

Caetano Yuyama says:

When you buy the gauge it comes with the sensor and wiring?

Kerim Pajazitovc says:

How did u wire it in to switch from blue to red? I’m confused as how u did that

Daring Dave says:

Benr.y says:

I thought my AirPods were dying in the beginning lol

Vasiliy Sergeev says:

Can you make a video about installing those gauges when you have a stock navigation system and where to install

Vasiliy Sergeev says:

What if I have a Mazda rx8 with stock navigation system I can’t do the samething

Jackson S says:

Is any sandwich plate ok to use? The link you provided is sold out

David O Rodriguez says:

By any chance are you running an oil cooler?

Serjhey Ore says:

Yo the sandwich plate link don’t work

Photonenbert says:

pop the hood !

Rages says:

Which are the two most important gauge you’ll say you have because I want the three gauge set up but I’m looking to get a turbo so

Danny D says:

Such a nasty install. Awful.

REVBOMBTOM 17 says:

Hi interested on doing this to my rx8 any chance u could get me uk links to everything.

DAZD says:

Hey man could you try and ypdate the links? Im a little unsure on what type sandwich plate adapter to buy and the links expired

pmm4177 says:

You know that part of the dash comes off right? No need to cut anything i wouldnt think

Mark W says:

Did you buy the 'OEM satin black' color or unpainted gauge pod? Also do these gauges have an alarm that can be set? I'd like it to beep at me if the temp goes too high or there is low oil pressure.

Goldii3 US says:

just installed all the gauges in my 06, everything went smoothly aside from the fact that i have a leak from the sandwich plate, it’s leaking between the adapter plate gasket and the motors housing, any recommendations? really love the new gauges but i’d love them more if it wasn’t leaking):

StrictlyChow says:

Does your water temp adapter stretch the hose at all? Others on rx8club said to use 34mm, but you used 36mm. Which should I go with?
