Anyone have pics of the tripower gauge pod installed with white face gauges.

 

I have those installed....I will submit pics as soon as i can!

 

Here is a picture of mine with the carbon fiber gauges in it.

Here is a far away view, if you need more pictures or info just ask.

Sweet where and how much can I get that for? What size gauges does it hold?

 

I got mine from the RX-7 store or you could get it straight through tripower, the price is still the same

100 bucks plus shipping seems to be the going price, I didn't really find any place cheaper. It holds two 2 1/16" gauges, thats 52mm in metric. Installation of the pod was the easiest thing in the world, but gauges are another story.

Lookin good. Any trouble reading the gauges at that angle? I'm used to looking at my a-pillar, but I think thats a much cleaner setup.

 

I haven't had any problems reading my gauges yet, seems okay to me, and I actually have a custom 2 pod a-pillar being made right now so its molded right in, not a bolted on pod. I will post pics of that once its done too.

make sure that, if you get one of these, your gauges are shallow enough to fit. I have the SPI temp gauge & it's too damn long to fit in the tri-power pod (which is unfortunate because I really like the pod - if only I could find a shorter gauge that matched the interior RX7 lights as well as the SPI... ::sigh:: ).

 

anyone have pics far away with the lights on.
Is it hard to install the gauges do u have to get the wires from the gauges under the dash is it easy to get too.

 

I just ordered mine from the RX7-store. It looks good and stock.

 

from the tri-power site:




I have a night shot also I have to find it...

i ran my wires under the dash to area where your pedals and feet are. Then i drilled a little hole through my firewall and ran the wires through there. If you need more details just e-mail of pm me. As for the gauge lighting, it truthfully sucks. The autometer light isn't backlit really, just a light behind the gauge sorta, but when the light is on you can still see the gauge and readings, its just not that bright. I have pictures of it. The good thing is when you put on the little red cap around the light that comes with your gague, the color of the light is almost identical to the stock color.

Here is one of the pictures of my gauge at night. I took it with nightshot so it might look kinda blury.

Another shot

 

A VDO Vision 52 mm will not clear the right pod of the tripower due to the fitting. right pod as viewed from driver's seat. I ended up JB-weld the fitting to get it to fit.

Autometer 52mm boost gauge will clear though but then my AM sucks.

 

I love my autometer carbon gauges, they look awsome, and work great. I think it looks cool when my red peak boost lite goes on also. The only gripe I have about it is that it isn't bright enough. The autometer gauges clear the pod easily, if i cut off the long metal screws which aren't needed, it would only take up about half of the space.

thanks guys

 

Installing the wires all that good stuff is some what easy...You can shove the wires and tube towards the left slot and drag it near the gas pedal. I love it...I throw a cap on it at night so no lame *** would try to come up on it!
