They are electrical. There is no oil tubing ran into the passenger compartment and the vacuum signal is off a map sensor. No vacuum line ran to gauge.
Put a black sticker over it if it's ruining your day, week or life that bad
Re-read what I said. I said the gauges themselves have a real needle (you can see them physically) ... they are not "virtual analog gauges" on an LCD screen like the ones in the Information Display. I mentioned they have electrical input signals, which means there is no physical oil line or vacuum lines on the gauges.
How I described it makes it pretty clear what they are ... regardless of terminology.
When I mentioned mechanical versus digital it was in reference to how the gauge receives its information, not operation.
Forget about oil temp its a manual transmission car and does grind in cold weather so a transmisson fluid temp gauge would be the best option! You would know when to start shifting on high rpms after the fluid is warmmed up! My ls3 camaro had one and its pretty useful feature! I can still look from the digital center display but still! Whoever thought about a vacuum gauge thinks we are like little kids who likes to see moving needle with throttle input!
This.
