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