Does Anybody Out Here Have This Set Up , With Four Gages On One Pilar . If So Do Ya Have Pics . Im Thinking About Doing This Set , Would Like To See If Anybody Has What Im Looking For. Thanks Rx7fromcal

 

When i do my guages i'm going to mount them right above the warning lights in the middle of the dash

 

wow i thought 3 was heavy but 4 will come right off every speed bump.

 

Want to be unique?
How about using a top of dash pod, upside down, across the top of the windshield.
Normally a radar detector is the only thing up there, but there is room for more.

 

thanks for the feed back guys

 

started on it this morning, turned out real nice having all four gages on that pilar. looks bad ***. i took two doubles pods put then back to back on the pilar , did some moding of one came out looking real good, its like being in a **** pit. gawd i love this car, lol

 

do you hit them with your shoulder or head climbing in and out of the car?

 

no , not at all . i dont even come close. and there on the pilar solid as a rock. have lots of space for veiwing. no restrictions at all.

 

sounds way too busy and distracting, the top gauge on the pillar would take too much attention and then have to refocus on the road, sounds unsafe to me.

want to be unique? make a windshield reflector guage setup like cadillacs and vettes use.

 

I thought I saw a pic of an FD with an aftermarket heads up display unit installed...its going back a while, and I have a fuzzy memory

but nonetheless that would uber sick

 

no its not distracting, i see what ur talking about , it hasent bother me in the least, just two more gages. i just have to keep my eyes more focused on the road , lol. ive seen alot more gages in some care then what i have , gawd some of theses cars in the mags that are out , now having that many would make me nuts , lol back to what you were talking about the top gage, its rite at eye level for me . thats whats nice about it ,fits my line of veiw perfect.

 

this thread is useless without pictures

 

I've got a memory like an elephant.

 

you r the man , nice pic dude . thanks

 

Wow u must be really tall to have it at eye level...lol

 

Not my FC. I've only got 3 guages on the pillar.

beat me to it, i was just about to post that pic.

 

stipd question, but whats the best place to mount the oil temp sensor?

 

o shi foo!

 

They make oil temp/pressure sender adapters that go under the oil filter. http://racingbeat.com/resultset.asp?PartNumber=11802
Not sure if its the best place, but its prob the easiest.

 

lol it's a 3 then a seperate single pod.

 

ive got all my gages hooked up except the water temp , looking for best place to hook that up, anythoughts on where the best place to put the sesor. thanks

 

Here's a question, which pods will work with the automatic seat belts? Links?
Also, how do you mount the actual pod, do you just screw into the original A-Pillar plastic?

 

they come with mounting instructions. usually use an interior push plug to fasten it. you have to take out the plastic that covers the a-pillar (be very careful) then drill matching holes through the pod and pillar cover.

when i drilled the pod i made the holes slightly larger than the holes in the pillar cover so that the push plug wouldn't get crushed and not fasten as well to the pillar plastic. those fins get smushed down otherwise i found.

as far as 4 pillar pods... that's ridiculous. that many and i'd start thinking of putting them in place of the center air vents, radio, or idiot cluster. maybe that's me... but if i had that much going on i wouldn't want everyone and their momma to know about it, not to mention if you didn't hook them up to the dimmer switch, you'd probably go blind.
