Default Z drivers, which display do you put on the first gauge from the left?

This is just a random question, no real significance. This is going to be a really bad description, so sorry in advanced. But anyway, it's the leftmost of the gauges in the center of the car. You can change it to different displays with speed, temperature, a timer, etc. Which one do you use?


Very random I know.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that never looks at the tach. I think they put the tachometer in such a dumb place. Why not in the middle? My hand blocks it, I can't be the only one.

I leave it on speed, but I never find myself glancing at it and I still use my tach. Im going to try and get use to it though.

I'm the opposite haha I want to get into the habit of using the tach because whenever i drive another car i glance in that direction expecting to see my speed and i don't, it just throws me off hah

Speedo with a magnifier lens so I can read it easily.

Oh gotcha, I was gonna say it would be cool if there was a oil temp reading or something. I normally leave mine on speedo but when it's really cold and snowing I turn on temp.

Clock is my default readout.

Can't say the speedo/tach positioning bothers me much.

me= has Defi HUD flushed in dash by A pillar for speedo and tach
...

so I use that gauge for displaying video feed updates from my keychain gigapet.... its been alive since 1999, and im not about to let him die any time soon . .. constant attention is a requirement... regardless of any possible high speed driving with fast heel and toe.... I have an E-life to care for here.

+1, for the most part.

I switch it every so often between all the readouts.
