You cant mod the speedo without a ton of work there is other things behind it for the cluster (I took mine apart and check haha) The sensor is the easy part finding a spot for it to mount thats harder IMO.

Thanks for the info. I haven't even had much chance to look over the interior but I suppose I'll figure out something.

There are a few options. I like they guy who makes them for the defroster on the side it like clips to that (well replaces it but it still vents) I might go with that when I add more haha

What I did for an oil temp gauge was I used the galley plug to port into, and used the ATI gauge pod that mounts in the drivers side vent. That way it doesn't block any of the stock gauges, or install near an airbag.

RSD made a great write up on a the gauge install here: http://theattack.rallysportdirect.co...r-ssubaru-brz/

It did get hijacked a bit, didn't it. Actually I think I'm to blame for that.

I don't care what your oil weight preferences are. I want to know what your evidence is other than what the Miata manual says.

Quoting myself for visibility.

Where's the evidence that 0 weight oil can seep past rings?

Doing this not for answers, but to question inaccurate or illogical statements.

The last thing threads like these need is bogus info being passed around as fact.
