Yeah, I used to have mates who did similar in their MX-5's... basically, as people has said, it's totally doable, but the needles are tricky buggers.

Do NOT get these. The guages are made of cheap plastic and will warp in the heat, rendering your cluster useless as your needles can not freely move.
Do a search its been discussed in depth.
