tripple pillar pod?

Senior Wagonist
Does anyone know if the same ones that are made for 88-91 will fit. I was looking at the recycler and they look diff. I was thinking of going out and buying three single pods. Pulling my pillar cover out and graft the pods to it and then fiber glass it so it looks sexy. Any imput is valued.

The pillar is the worst place to position guages.
I would integrate them into the original cluster or on either side of the original cluster but like... made to look half decent if that's what you're after. Otherwise just slap them anywhere that a) they don't limit your vision and b) don't get in your way
Ive considered converting to ODD2, so I could just run a Scangauge full time.
Hence the aforementioned dash butchery! Now what would be cool is a little "pod" or nacelle in the shelf of the dash, above the center vent. IF you could make it look OE, sort of a miniature version of the instrument panel hood...nah, it'd still look hokey.
you can have circles, squares, digits ...
hell, jumping rabbits for what i care...
and, oh yeah, i dont know what im talking
about..
ps. try the look on people's face'
... driving an oldtimer and
neatly installed 5" inch gps
on the cluster...owh...
softly glowing in the dark
: )
Could make it nice and rounded etc so that it looks like another cluster.
(I have a picture in my head of how it looks, but cant really explain it)
It's still sitting in my garage. I've got no idea what I'm going to do with it.
I agree.
The pods stephan posted would be my choice cause there really isnt any really good spots in ef's imho.
The DC's and EG's have theose dash bezels that are available that place a guage on each side of teh gauge clusters. I really wish there was somthing similar that we could use.
Completely agree. I would not like the pillar pods because I feel like they would seem to be in the way all the time. There really is no good location unless you want to give up something-vents, radio, etc. Exactly why I would use the ones I posted. They are popular because the are decent looking and very functional with minimal sacrifice.
tach, speedo and add all you want, if it fits

pesky little birds who ate too much

In my turbo'd ZC CRX, I removed my radio and made a thin aluminum plate the same size as the opening for the radio. I used a hole saw to cut out openings so I could install 2 small Autometer gauges. You can do 3 guages in that space also, the outside gauges have to be all the way down and at the sides and the middle gauge has to be all the way at the top in the middle. You will have to trim the console slightly to clear the edges of the gauges but it does come out very clean.
Sidenote about the gauges I was running, the kid I sold my turbo Rex to removed the gauges (boost gauge and A/F gauge) and re-installed a radio. So he had no idea what boost was at or if it ran lean which was pretty important since it was my first "cheap" turbo set-up. I do not recommend FMU's at all, car always leaned out at the top end. Luckily the kid blew the motor and I didn't have to see him around my neighborhood anymore abusing my car!
i really dont want to change it for anything
in the world...uhmm o.k...considering universe...hmmm
tempted...but not like really
but now you mention it...
i ripped the cluster apart today
to see if there was enough room
for the digital antenna ...
forgot how easy that was
next time i'll give those bulbs
a close look, then you know
: )
I bet one of those flat gauge mounts could fit there, too. It's easy to see, but doesn't get in the way of anything. And what are you using that space for right now, anyway? Coins?
