I received all of my goodies today (wideband, boost, oil temp gauges) & a 3 gauge pillar pod. The pod said it would fix 93-95 mazda rx7, but doesn't come close and looks like junk. I have a feeling (and correct me if I'm wrong), that any pillar pod I can find nowadays will be similar, and lack OEM look/feel/fitment.

I feel like a din mount will be a little difficult to see while driving.
I'm nervous to rip apart the dash to install a center speaker pod.

ideas/suggestions?

 

You don't have to rip out anything for a dash pod, them just pop in place of the center speaker.

 

You have to get the wires under the dash somehow right?

 

True put they snake in thru the speaker hole. You have to get under the dash to connect, etc. put shouldn't have to take anything apart.

 

A coat hanger or something similar makes snaking wires through things (dashes, etc) much easier. Just get a Pro Sport pod.

 

I think I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and do that. I really wasn't wanting to spend $100 on a pod, but I'd rather have it look done right rather than a cheap slap job.

 

I used the double center speaker pod. Fishing the wires is not bad, just make sure you pull them all at once. I used a piece of nylon boost gauge tubing and that worked very well.

 

My glowshift pod Fit right in perfectly. I was a little shocked as to the oem specs they were made to.

That's the one I bought. Mine doesn't seem to fit at all, can you post some pictures of how yours is setup?

 

I had one. It fit well enough.

 

One more option is a Pettit column pod for the boost gauge so it's in line with the tach, and a two gauge pod for the dash instead of three.

 

I have two pics that happened to have the pillar in them on the second page of my photo album in my public profile. I will take a couple of just the pillar later when i get off work

 

Here's a few up close pics of the fitment of the pillar you and I have. You can see were i placed the screws w/caps for best fit........Like a glove

 

Wow. I did'nt know how much dust and lint I had on my dash.
I hope these helped

 

Yep....I think I have a different pod than you. I wonder if they shipped me the wrong one.
