FD gauge pod --- mounted above glove box
 
I seen several cars in magazines with these gauge pods that mount 3 gauges above the glove box in the dash. Does anyone sell these things??? The last turbo mag had an orange FD with these pods.
Anyone???

I would love to know as well. Just wondering if any one knows the guy who owns that orange FD?

I found out that Sp engineering did that car and they did make that gauge pod. It was a custom one off but they have had many inquiries about producing them. They might put them into production in the future. We can only hope.

SP Engineering number 626-333-5398
good luck!!

Actually it's not a one-off.....I have the only other one produced. So I guess that makes it a two-off:D

It's made out of carbon fiber and SP did not make it....I will talk to the guy who made it cause he said he was thinking about making more of them but he's good friends with SP so didn't wanna step on any toes.

I'll get back with more info......:)

0piston 10-04-01 03:42 PM

Carbon fiber even better! Let us know!

silvr94r2 10-16-01 04:12 AM

here is a pic of my guage holder .....let's see if it came through....:D

0piston 10-16-01 12:42 PM

I was emailing back and forth with some guy, and to my suprise he told me he worked at SP... :) He told me they are currently making more copies and should be done in about 3 weeks...I mentioned a group buy but he didn't bite. =D

silvr94r2 10-16-01 01:04 PM

Well at least I had the 2-off for a little while:(

Did he say how much they are gonna sell for?

alwan16 10-16-01 01:08 PM

i would be interested too depending on the price. keep us updated!

Where did you find that at?

silvr94r2 10-30-01 05:13 AM

I got it from the guy who made it for SP. I really don't want to give out his info.....I don't think he wants a bunch of people calling him. I have tried to get in touch lately but he's been at races so I haven't got a response yet.

cardmarc 11-03-01 03:27 PM

They are for small Din style gauges. I made one myself out of wood for 4 gauges and covered in vinyl. You got to buy very small gauges tho! I think Apexi and HKS also sell similiar items.

0piston 11-05-01 07:31 PM

Ok guys I phoned SP and they said it would be like $275:eek:
It will be out in 2 months. Dunno bout you but thats too rich for me right now, maybe I'll drop by the 7-11 from work, to get a lotto 6/49 :D

I have seen pics of someone on here with a left hand drive and "mouse ears". It showed up in a thread because he had moved the a/c controls too. Can't remember who it was; have to search.

JaySpec7 11-14-01 10:00 AM

FALSE..

Here's my FD..

the instrument hood and panel is the same on RH & LH Drive cars - Look closely at pictures of both and you will see they are the same - the shape is actually symetrical about the center of the steering column:D
