I can donate a grey A-pillar (which is the color I would need). Just let me know when and where to send it to.

 

i think i can cover the parts but i need to know what interior colors the rx-7 came with. if someone would be willing to check to see if an S4 A-pillar will fit an S5 w/ fabing or if its too hard that would be great!!

it looks like alot of pepl want 3 pods?? i personally think it looks crowded with three but like i said before we could put it to a vote.

if we can get a solid yes or no on if the pillar will fit both series' and how many pods then it should all be mailing and waiting after that

 

so what is the proggress on these will they be done by february or what? or is this even going to happen?

 

The trim is not the same. S4 has manual seatbelt, while the S5 has the automatic rodent running back and forth.

They would need to be seperately done. Also I assume that 3 pods will not fit a S5 trim piece. 2 pods might be the most you can fit in, with the cutout for the seatbelt track there.

 

im in for any of them. my drivers side pillar is broken miight as get a gauge pod as a replacement than a stock one.

 

sunshire your certain that an A-pillar can't just be "sliced" to allow the autobelt to work?? if not then i will have to restric this project to only S4 cars

jreynish, the progress is that i have a head count i can count on one hand and we need 30 pepl.

as many pepl as can comitt now that it is only S4....please raise your hands and tell me two or three pod? don't forget to tell your friends boys and gurls....

 

Here is the thing,
Not all s5 cars have the auto seat belt and those whom do, can notch out a track for it to work with a 3 guage pod! i would still be in!!! no matter what! I don't have autoseat beltswith my s5 TII! so i would be likely to go for it! If this doesn't happen for february then I am simply going to contruct my own I think! But i would definitely like these better! I am still in!

 

!!!!!!!!

 

Lo Tek has told me that there are currentlly three other forums/car groups with projects in front of oursbut the first to pre order 30 and send everything in.....goes first.

so realisticlly we could have them within 2 months.....2months of sending them what they need, that is $$$ and parts.

 

come on theres godda be more pepl on here that want these.....

any ideas about how to get more pepl??

 

me too

 

alright it looks like most pepl are asking for a three pod, or say two or three. so offically the pod will be: three 52mm pods[possibly with a larger optional], color matched to the colors rquested[i have to send them all in], and formed from an S4 pillar[if anyone with an S5 can make an S4 pillar fit on there S5 logically this is for them too:smile:]

any questions....??

anymore buyers....???

 

god this is depressing!!

i think im just going with center mount!

almost seams unfair that FB's and FD's get lo tek pods and we dont...

 

What seems to be the problem??

 

i'm in.

 

im in if its for a 3 pod for an s4

 

I just got my dual gage pod for an 84 GSL-SE. Took them like 5 months to deliver but the end result is pretty good. Total was $59 including shipping--a little pricey but for an FB there are no other options I know of. It was all the same kind of deal with a group buy from Lotek.

Had maybe 1/2 hr of trimming with a dremel to get it to fit. Both gage holes were too small and the top and bottom ends needed trimming. Also, I had to send in a color sample for them to produce a grey unit.

BTW, the wood screws they supply for mounting suck. Sheet metal screws with the proper thread pitch are required to mount into the A-pillar. I think the A-pillar metal is pretty thick cause I had to use some big pitch drywall screws to make it work.

Just finished the wiring and plumbing last night. Overall the unit came out real nice like I wanted.

this post was dead for a fw weeks, and i still doubt we'll have enough pepl anytime soon

 

im in for a 3 gauge pod

 

I suppose I'd be interested in a 2 or 3 pod model. I'd prefer 2 pod. Write my name down and PM me if this deal is really going to go through.

 

Im still interested also, dont care weather its the 2 or 3 gauge pod either..

 

As an S5 'vert, I know I'm gonna be left out :p

 

Has this been posted to all the other RX-7 forums?

 

its a club exclusive as far as i know. i'd love to have an A-pillar mounting....but as of now i think im gonna go with a center console mounting for my boost gauge.

ill still buy an a-pillar though if we can get enough to go for it. i'll even participate in the process if anyone else wants to give another go at getting 30 pepl together.
