Eyesight is a amazing thing, when you do the math there isn't a computer network in the world that does what your eyeball and optic nerves do... amazing stuff..
I raced a car in a 12 hour enduro with all red it was good for forward vision ,
harder to catch the needles out of the corner of your eye...
Yea sometimes its about style....
I had a rental car a while back,,,(i rent all the time for work and travel...) It was a Mazda I think, had blue gauges, screwed with me so bad I took it back and got a Chevy..
Cheers.

Dave | yeah, eyes are amazing, in my Mazdaspeed 3, i had gauges with a blue backlighting, red lettering, and a red needle, never really had trouble seing it. As far as Watching the tach goes, the built in 3 stage shift light should keep me from overrevving without looking, and the warnings on the PLX flash red and whit on the screen, so maybe ill get a few speeding tickets , but otherwise i dont see it causing me too much hassle oh man, i dont know if i have the heart to put this baby through the hell of an enduro race, but yeah, i gotcha __________________

Man, I read through much of this thread, can't wait to see it finished. That's dedication to your dream! Back in the day I was a rotary head, had three rx-7 before I completely switched to bimmers. Good job, almost done...
