bluedrag Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 ok guys i have recently finished my NA-T conversion and aside from waiting for my new ecu to be installed all thats left to do is guages, unfortunately for me i cannot get a right hand drive A-pillar with pods on i have looked just about everywhere i can think of so i was going to get some gauge cups and run them down the side of the "cockpit" any suggestions on alternate locations etc? not a huge fan of the guages in the air vent holes etc cheers in advance something like this but less extreme only like 3 guages max https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSjCUGkAsBFwW2YvlRNB9NMo0CRp8T_JF-qj-5TtpHXGRO8ZTQO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 A less extreme 4x52mm? Made by Supramemole if you have the patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Whifbitz do a RHD double pillar guage pod Or "Noz" on here makes triple guage pillars for a fee. If you want it nice and clean, you can get a single din 3 guage holder, for 52mm guages. If you aren't fussed about the heater blowers, each one of those on the drivers side will hold a 62mm guage, and the clock position will hold a 52mm guage. Plenty of options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Be done with unsightly and impossible-to-monitor dials everywhere and install a DASH2 (or equivalent if you have a preference). I've had mine for a while now and - although I freely admit there have been teething issues and it's not QUITE set up perfectly yet - it's really intuitive to use. Just another option for you!

Rob_Mitchell Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just get a JT innovations touch screen setup. gauges and pods look a mess! imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Mine I like where it is, so would probably go for the 3 gauge holder in this position that Nic posted, if it were me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Modern digital dash's are now pretty cheap and far less messy than umpteen cheap gauges strewn about the car. If you feel you need to monitor lots of sensors they are probably the way to go unless you like the car to look like a showroom for a manufacturer's gauge product range The last car I saw with multiple analogue gauges that looked stylish was a 1600E Cortina, or a 1970's Ferrari. Adding them to an existing dash can soon look trashy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 A poor picture of the glovebox install on my old single. I hate seeing gauges stuck all over the place. Next time i'd probably do a HKS CAMP2 or a Syvecs equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
