I've got 52mm gauges to install in my STi and have been considering either the Subaru pod or maybe the Grahame Goode version. To me both look pretty ugly with the Subaru item rather square and the GGR modelled on the Sydney opera house! (and very expensive - typical GGR!)
Has anyone used either and if so I would appreciate comments, and any photo's of them installed would be great.
Cheers guys JohnD

I'm not sure if the Subaru one will accept 52mm gauges actually, as I think the ones they use are 45mm ones.

I've been looking at this over the last couple of weeks, and it seems the only other one available is the "sydney opera house" type one from GGR (via Nitosport??)

I saw one on Scoobymania's website (£80) but that looks the same from what i recall. Doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there.

I'm pretty sure the 52mm won't fit in the Subaru pod as well. Your only real option is the Sydney opera house version. I've got one in my 02Sti and it really does look a LOT better in the flesh that in the pictures (blends in nicely, doesn't obstruct the view, and looks factory fit).

I have the standard Subaru 3 gauge pod in my 01 WRX and the pod will not accept anything larger than the standard gauges!!

I squeezed 52mm items into the Subaru centre pod on my 99my with the aid of a bit of cut and file. If the 03 pod is a similar depth I may get away with it!

Iain,

are those gauges the BF black range, or the 'standard' Defi ones?

still to get mine fitted!

Hi Dave.

They're the normal ones. The black faced range were not available when I had these fitted. I've seen the new back faced ones, and I think I prefer the ones I've got to be honest...

Cheers,
Iain

... i think the same - the BF ones look a little dull in comparison to be honest.....

I was thinking of white faces though ..... might be a little MAX POWER

Iain Young

The white faces do look good, but wouldn't have matched my car. because I've got the prodrive sti, the back of the speedo etc are dark blue, so the black gauges fit in nicely. White would have looke abit silly. If you've got the white backed speedo (like I had in my old my00 turbo), the the white gauges would look great...
