Re: Gauge pod

I've seen a lot, actually. Even OT has one in his car. It's a double one.

Kinda like this: http://svx-motorsport-accessories.st...pillarpod.html

Re: Gauge pod

I have one installed by a previous owner, and really don't care for it for a couple of reasons. First, it blocks an already limited sight-line in that area, and mine really doesn't seem to fit correctly. I'm planning to pull it and disable the voltage readout, relocating the trans temp to a more discrete location. Just one opinion.

Re: Gauge pod

Id like the pod painted the same color as the interior I will have air fuel trans temp and oil pressure or save it for boost gauge when I turbo I've also thought about a dash one similar to the wrx

Re: Gauge pod

what i wanted to do eventually if space permits was remove the stock radio, and seperate cdplayer, replace with a single unit, and use the old cd player spot as a 3 gauge spot, IF they fit. i have no idea if they will... thats been my plan, i figured id get there when i got to it.

Re: Gauge pod

unfortunately you cant use the stock cd player without the tapedeck since the wiring harness hooks into the tapedeck. if you get an aftermarket cd player you'll have space for a single din. and i know that there are gauges small enough, my friend has some in his 87 Monte

Re: Gauge pod

If you do change-out the stereo for a single DIN stereo unit, Subaru OE from another car, or aftermarket... Something like this (06-07 WRX/STI single disc)...



You could theoretically fit this underneath it. DEFI DIN gauges, a pressure gauge and two temperature gauges. (oil press, oil temp, trans temp, perhaps... depends on what you hook it up to.)



Quote:
PRODUCT FEATURES
DIN-Gauge is a 1-DIN sized triple meter for providing information on a pressure and 2 kinds of temperatures. "DIN" is an abbreviation for Deutsche Industrie Normen(German industrial standard) and the most of audio hardwares are designed in the DIN size. DIN-Gauge can be neatly installed in a DIN sized vacant space in your automobile.

Three guages are fitted into one DIN size.
The front cover of the gauge has flat face glass.
Opening and closing mode: The needle pointers of three gauges move sequentially.
The three meters are angled towards the driver for a higher level of visibility
Stepping motor: *Maximum angle 270degrees is controlled by the microcomputer up to 4,600 divisions(0.057degrees) to provide high precision in the accuracy of information generated.
*Quick response which is sustainable in racing scenes.
Bright transparent green gauge dials and red instrument needle pointers are used in the gauges to increase visibility at night.
The lights are produced from super high bright LED lamps.
DIN-Gauges for right-hand drives and left-hand drives are available.
This product is for use ONLY on vehicles with a 12V electrical system.
DEFI does good stuff, and I think they possibly even supply some of Subaru's OE gauges, as an OE supplier. Lots of Subarus use these, or larger DEFI separates.

Black dials, green illuminated markings, and orange/red markers, all behind a single panel of clear plastic... pretty much matches the main gauges.
