I think it looks great and is an improved design over the 5one5.
My 5one5 does have a glare at certain times of the day due to sun coming through. This seems less likely to have that issue since the gauges are more straight up. I would think you could sell these. I've known a lot of people which look for 5one5's floating around the net. Whether the avg poor fc owner could pay the true value. who knows. If I didn't have on e already I'd hit you up. |
Very awesome TTT especially with the comparison with your build vs 5one5s.

That is one sexy gauge pod. Just to add to your motivation to make yourself some extra $$$ i would like to have one of them. And not much more than 85 bucks sounds like a good price for such a quality piece.
Well now you need to repaint your radio/ac surround to match this piece or repaint it to match your car which is what the surround colors looks like?? Maybe i'm wrong but matching would be just a bit better. |
that is by far the nicest gauge pod for our cars i have ever seen that damn thing is flawless man, shit!!!!
|
looks good, but I would not feel comfortable removing the factory idiot lights.
|
It's usually for people with non-working idiot clusters due to failures or standalone ECU's.
|
I had a 5one5 pod,and I sold it.From what I remember was,there was a Piece(tab sort of) that went into the Top part where the Idiot lights were.Now I was able to Retain my idiot lights and still Stick that tab part in between the Idiot lights and make the Pod sit half decently on the Dash,but I never fastened it.I never got around to it.Lazy..heh..
But,that "era" is all over...TTT,I am interested in one of those Pods if you are Going to start Fabbing them. |

Maybe i'm wrong but matching would be just a bit better. The gauge cluster and the radio surround I painted the same base/clear as the car, yes. I though about painting the pod in the same color but felt it would stand out too much on top of the black dash so I painted it the same color as the trim and the other interior pieces that I painted. |

The pertanient idiot lights are either routed to my ECU thru new inputs (low sump/coolant) which are displayed on my AIM dash as idiot lights, or other ones like low washer, brakes, etc are on the "dash" (not the AIM but around it) as LED lights. I'm covered. Hopefully anyone buying one will work something out as well. There have been threads where people have moved them to the spot below the radio. A good friend of mine & I are going to pull the important ones and fit them on the dash surround where the cruise control switch would be as he is going to retain the stock FC dash |

i want one also, get back to me when you have it ready
|
TTT... yeah I noticed driving my friends built 240sx through the mountains that left hand turns seem to pose a slower speed than right handed ones b/c of the 3-gauge pillar pod on the a-pillar. I would definitely buy one b/c of that reason and the fact that I love to thrash the mountains. The obstruction of the view on left hand turns is annoying when running pretty enthusiastically down hill on our runs you know.
|
omg! i would nut in my car if i had that! and i do want it!
|
Im very interested, id definitely drop a hundo on that.
|
Wow fantastic fabricating work there TTT! Im defo interested in one if u decide too mold more, but in a standard version, not the CF ( well CF is preferred if the pod doesnt have the same texture as the rest of the cockpit or one that at least is similar)
|
Looks incredible dude, I'm actually looking at undertaking a similiar fiberglass project in the upcoming week or so.
Is that the full-blown two part bondo, or just the spot putty? I've also never used gel coating before, any tips? Where can I find it? |

OH..am I leading you to "think" that I still Had the Idiots lights Visible while running the 5one5 pod?..NOPE!.the pod covered up the lights entirely,but I only had to take the surround out to install the pod. If you want Pics of the Pod Installed IN the car,as I had it in the summer,By all means,I can send you a Pic by Email.If you wish you can post it,as I don't know How to get Pics from My Computer to Post on the Forum(my computer is possessed!). |

in adition to this if people want to keep there idiot cluster as well ive seen them then mounted under a aftermarket stereo where the genuine radio sat!! best of both worlds!! |

|
i will take one of these like yesterday!! i really dont care what it cost, if you have the ability to make these, what are you waiting for? there isnt one single other person making one of these. you will sell the shit outta these!!
|
yep waiting for pics of the molded copies and lets go from there. always look foward to new things people fab up for the fc. great work there ttt i dont have the patience to go about fabbing up things like yourself, but hats off to you and keep us posted on progress
