anybody have this setup and have pics? i got both and the gauge looks way too big for the pod. i've heard you can dremel it out but would it look funny? thanks.

 

thats the only way its going to fit

 

yeah.. thats what i did.. i just dremeled the autometer gauge pod slowly until the gauge went it.. here's a pic of it at night... its the 60mm apex'i mechanical boost gauge with black face/white numbers to match the dash during the day

 

I put a 60mm Defi boost gauge in a dual pod pillar.

You cant dremel it out becuase there is only like 55mm of plastic. You need to heat it and stretch it, while keeping the textured look on the outside of the pillar.

Try that!

 

I have a 60mm Greddy boost gauge in the autometer pod. All it takes is a little dremeling and the gauge fits in. The plastic is ABS and stretches to fit the bigger gauges.

i heard the 94+ integra pods fit the rx-7 also. this true?

 

The defi's are awesome during the day. They match REALLY well.

Too bad this is what they look like at night. Sorry for fuzzy pic guys...



Either way, I've still got to get a Interior fuel pressure gauge and an A/F gauge

 

yep.. i had this setup before. i have the autometer rx7 specific gauge pod now. it fits better and directs the gauge toward you better than the integra mount.

i went with the integra mount because i couldnt get a rx7 mount and was hard pressed to mount the gauge.

happier with the autometer rx7 specific mount.

 

does it feel weird to shift with your left hand?

 

I'm right handed and since being here I prefer to shift with the left. It feels ... natural

 

i'm right handed too

 

You beat me to it 0ball!

JSpec, I think the only way you're going to get 2 more gauges in there is to relocate your AC controls...

Or you can ditch the 2-pod and get a 3-pod. That leaves you needing 1 more. Why didn't you go for the center speaker 2-pod?

 

yea, those gauges look great in the day time for the stock look.

 

But, if he hadn't gone with the DEFI D-Link, and chosen the DEFI D-Gauge, he'd look better in the night (amber instead of green).

I am waiting on my 5 gauges and pods (2 + 1 for A pillar, and center speaker 2-pod).

 

with those many gauges do you actually read them while driving? i have hard enough time reading the tach and speedo!

 

I wanted gauges that had peak hold/playback, and since Apexi and Defi are the only two that make that type of system...Defi was what I picked(I thought that the Apexi was too ricey)

 

I don't read them while driving. I pay attention to the warning lights. That's what is important.
