Hey guys I'm after a clean looking gauge pod set up for a boost and oil tempt gauge.

I don't want to cut holes and mount them somewhere like the glove box lid or big tacho looking mounts I've seen some that fit up the A pillar and give a clean look for 2 or 3 gauges and one that fits over the top of the speed cluster and will allow one gauge on each side of the curve.

Just wondering if anyone knows or any others that are clean won't mean drilling into or wrecking the dashboard at all and are practical I'm from New Zealand but don't mind getting it shipped from over seas. Here are some pics I've found off google of some that I like but haven't managed to find them for sale yet

Would also be keen to see your guys gauge sets ups

Thanks for all the help guys!

 

I just bought a Thompsin DIN gauge panel.

Haven't installed it yet, but it will snap into place above my headunit.
I prefer this type of install because it doesn't leave the gauges hanging out in an obvious aftermarket fashion.

Thompson DIN gauge panel

You can call and talk to Tom if you have any questions or have a preferred shipping method since it's overseas. He's really nice and they are ready in stock.

 

DIN panels are nice, but the gauges are WAY low and not easy to see.

One problem you'll have is finding pods that are right hand drive. The one you have pictured that goes where the center speaker goes points the wrong way for a RHD car. It's an excellent pod, though, and many people have commented that mine looks OEM.

There are also steering column pods, that's a nice, clean way to mount one gauge. Also, these are specific LHD-RHD - the holes on the side for the turn signal stalk and wiper stalk are different. You can make them work with some cutting, but it's not perfect.

A-pillar pods are my least favorite. They're up and easy to see, but they end up blocking some of the visibility out of the car and they usually look a little cheap and hokey.

I think there were a number of nice pods in Japan for RHD cars, but I don't know how easy or hard they are to get.

Get a gauge pod from FLYRX7. The best pods ever. I have a quad one for an RHD car. Fits straight into where the center speaker sits.
Try flyrx7@aol.com

 

Thanks for all the help guys! I will probly look into one of the flyrx7 center speaker 3 pods they look really nice and don't seem to need to cut or drill any thing to get to fitted.

I have a local supplier that can supply any gauge I need in RHD so I'm not to worried about that and those pods come in either or.

Now just to chose another gauge to go with boost and oil tempt gauge lol

 

Flyrx7 is the way to go. Emailed Frank a few weeks ago and they are in production right now. He's planning to ship in the next week or so. Email him asap, he might have a few left

 

I recently got a triple gauge pod from prosport. The gauges are AEM. I love this setup.

 

^that looks amazing!

 

I second the pods from FLYRX7, I also have a set on the way. The quality looks amazing, he is making them right now and should be making extras if i remember correctly, I would email him asap though to be sure

As for another gauge, I would suggest a water temp as the factory gauge isn't exactly known for reliability

 

Went with the DIN pod for gauges you dońt have to look at every 3 seconds. I plan to modify the upper part of the steering column fairing to copy REamemya's pod with a bit of fiberglass for my wideband o2 gauge. Shouldnt be too hard.

 

Has anyone gone with with a 3 pod pillar mount? I have a dual mount, but I want a 3rd gauge and i'm debating whether or not it will be awkward to have a 3rd gauge on the pillar.

 

I have a Pettit column pod and a Tri Point dash pod and love them

 

Yea I do like those dash mounts think I'll go with a 2 pod one of them

 

If you are a right hand drive body check out this guy. I do not see it on his site but i know he makes them. Try emailing him. It may be right up your alley.
