I've never seen anywhere that sells those. Maybe you could buy a 2 pod, and a single pod and put them together? I dont know.

That guy has 6 gauges....I don't see why. I am thinking of getting the 3 gauge holder so when I get a head unit I don't have an empty space, but still dont know what to put besides air fuel ratio and voltage. (Already have boost on pillar mount)

I saw a guy with a 3rd gen had a duel guage holder on the dash that replaced his bose speaker setup and it was kick ***. I am trying to located those now. Can't find them for some reason. The guages in the window thing is played out.

That's how I've always seen it done, I was unaware that autometer made a triple gauge pod for the a-pillar for FC's, never seen anyone use one before.

You can get them by conducting yourself to www.rx7store.net and a few other online 7 parts dealers.

Unless I'm missing something they only carry single and dual for the FC, still not seeing any triple for FC

Most people just double up with one single and one double.

Yah I know, but unless I was misinterpreting what Aaron Cake was saying there is a triple gauge pod out there for the FC? Not sure, but I know most people just use the dual and single together.

"where can you get the two gauge holder"

The dual guage pod I am taking about mounts on the dash board infront of the driver. I would just cut a few holes in my dash to run the wires. The dual window thing can be found in any 16 year old honda civic drivers window sporting 2 guages that monitor exhaust temp and af mixture controlled by his stock ECU.

Yes they do!! Here's the deal though... they will fit w/o obstructing the mouse belt passage HOWEVER, they are formed for the S4 pillars meaning that the shape to "cap them on" is different.

I used a heat gun, if you have any crafting ability it is very easy to do. Just heat em up a little bit and mold them to the pillar. Took me about 20 min for the entire thing. I'll try to post a pic soon. There are others on this forum who've done this. I might be mistaken but i do beleive "sureshot" has done this and has a picture. Type in a search for autometer and dual gauge pod and you should find it.

Bukwild... i think the ones your are talking about are the "Micky Mouse" style ones where there is a pod on both corners of the switches. I'm sure they sell them on corksport but other places sell them also. Just keep in mind they are VERY VERY expensive. hope that helps

no its not the one they sell at corksport. This one replaces the bose speaker on the dash of a third gen where our 2nd gen idiot light are. It almost looks like it was made to house a couple of tweeters but I can tell you its the best I have ever seen.

something like this but only more streamline. A forum member was making these in the 3rd gen section.
