Guage Pods? Options

[Komlofske]

Where would I get it?

y dont u do a search ? not trying to be mean but...

They don't make one. Some people ahve said the 93-95 RX7 dual pod one works with our cars, but i'm not going to spend 30 bucks on soemthing that might not be reutrnable if it's not guaranteed to work. I want to actually see one fo those in someone's car ebfore I trust it.

I perosnally bought a 20 dollar dual pod universal one from APC....if you use blacks screws to hold it, you can't the see foam and the plastic just bends right up to your current pillar which makes it look as though it was made for the car...pretty nifty. Pick it up at Checker.

RX7 pod???? Its the supra pod as far as i know...although the rx7 may work as well im not doubting u

I've seen a pod on a celica before... check the how to on installing a S-AFC.

[94celicaguy]

yea, i bought a universal one. any universal one can be adapted to the a-pillar.

I had a '93-'98 Supra dual gauge pod for my car's a-pillar, but it had to be molded with a heat gun in order to get it to fit well, and in the process, I ended up accidentally melting one of the holes for the gauges so that the gauge no longer would fit, as shown below.



So, I ended up cutting the pod in half and having a single gauge pod in my car for a little while, as shown below.



To sum it up, an Autometer '93-'98 Supra dual gauge a-pillar pod will fit fine as long as you carefully melt it a bit and then mold it to your car's a-pillar. And if your first name is Christian and your last name is Coomer, you should stay away from heat guns.

hehe coomer...damn the interior of yor car looks good though

[Komlofske]

Man, that sounds risky

[Komlofske]

and speaking of guages, what would it take to pute some gauges under the radio where that space is? There is a gap on mine, and how do I fill that in and pute some gauges there?

[94celicaguy]

i looked at that as a possible location for some gauges, but i dont believe that the pocket is tall enough to easily do that. but hey, if you got the time go for it.

Thats too bad about the guage pod. It looks funny. But your interior looks NICE! i think we have the same radio also. But your car looks sweet anyway.

I bought them from Charlie a while back for $20 I think. I'm not sure if anyone makes them anymore, but you may be able to find some on ebay.

[FallenHero]

lol, what type of gauge is that?
