few months back i saw this online in japan.
A mazdaspeed 3 gauge pod for the fd .. while i felt that the whole piece was chunky i was like, im getting this.. I couldnt be any more wrong LOL This lil thing sold for a little over 3k usd and that didnt even include commission shipping within japan, and then international shipping https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a3336b5505.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a27edb415a.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...77a30d3fde.jpg I have my pre turbo dual EGT on the passenger airbag cover (no airbag obviously :lol:) currently with the KOSO dual Egt monitor. Switched to a 52mm gauge (digital dual egt) My AFR is in the din pocket (NGK AFX) that comes as a square box ... Hard to mount needless to say. found a 52mm gauge that hooks up to the 0-5v output of the NGK And i switched my boost control for a turbosmart eboost boost controller that comes as a gauge So long story short, i needed a 3 gauge pod ... After looking for one that looked half nice, :lol: i decided i had to make one ! Thanks to my buddy Jim Thompson, He hooked me up with a super clean 99-2002 dashboard. While i have no intention to use it as a dashboard, but rather as a test dummy for products as such (since my friggin car is half way across the globe) I figured this is a rare opportunity to get the dash; and If i Ever need a Dash, oh well i have one :) So since i can more or less fabricate fiberglass stuff, i figured let me find something that looks half decent and make it work... pretty much like what i did with the defi ZD "dash" monitor I opted for a GC8 Pod fiberglass. initially fitting as such : https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...db9b270470.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...229887a519.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8af1c10f4c.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8f560338ae.jpg Then some chopped up version :) https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e9e0d94818.jpg |
getting for some fiberglass makin! Since the location was finally found :)
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...74824a0c46.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1090440727.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...23450d642f.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...21aadabb3b.jpg as of right now i have no intention to use the Border racing mickey mouse pod but its the closest thing i had to a cluster hood to see how it looks from the driver's standpoint I will make a bracket that it will be screwed on together at the speaker mount much like the mazdaspeed.. just so much better :) :) :) |
3k? OMG :)
Nice piece of work man. I so much like the ZD pod, I think this is going to come out even better! Keep us posted. |
pod is near completion. maybe another week until im done with the brackets welding iriditing etc

Beautiful !! White FD's are just deadly !!
One quick question , did you simply go back to OEM hood , because of look or is there anything wrong with that orgasmic AD-9 hood. (I would of painted it white) |

That hood is terrible. Sell it to me :egrin:

a few updates.
didnt get to do much due to some personal issues but here's how the car came out I replaced the front canards with the genuine FEED 3 piece ones.. Replaced the rear wing . apparently this is a new(er?) odula version. looks much better than the previous version painted the hood to match the car.. needs hood pins for a better fitment New transmission (better for the street) My clutch lasted maybe 3 months of continuous use. slips like a mofo LOL. lasted more or less what i was expecting out of it. Time for a serious upgrade, Been debating between R3C or R2C from os giken. I know the R3C will be an overkill but oh well, dont do we all do that anyway LOL https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a593144188.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f44553f819.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a8d5164ddf.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b756a9d9c1.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ac5e99a463.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ca931d8582.jpg |

It's crazy how much more 'sportscar-like' your FD looks than those Nissans......
Lovin the exterior changes :nod: |
