Obviously the later cars seem to be awash with dash pods but does anyone know if you can get them for the early imprezas?

Also does anyone know who does 42/45mm gauges (except for Omori)

Cheers

If you want a really well made pod then Milsport are the people to go to

Syph i've seen that and it doesn't seem to fit properly https://www.scoobynet.com/interior-1...-din-slot.html.

Although function over form is better i would prefer a better/factory standard fit.
I want to keep the centre vents so the Milsport isn't an option

Syph,

If I remember right, there too big in hight & width. One of the members has this fitting with a bit of moding to get it fitting.

Beat me to it.


Then again, always can an eye for the lamco kit

IMO I would rather do a small amount of fettling than put holes in my dash.

It would be a small cheap job to replace a bit of plastic trim compared to a new dash.

true i wouldn't be too happy at cutting holes in the dash that i couldn't repair properly if i sold the car (not likely though as it's worth **** all).

As for the lamco gauges nice but having a boost gauge down there is a bit odd imo (prefer to have it in my view),volt meter just an odd gauge to have (possibly?) especially when there are more important gauges to have imo.

But then it depends what gauges you get as the Spa ones are normally 2 gauges in one.

Syph

What about this as an alternative?

Christ they've gone up in price, my 2 pillar only cost my £20 posted 18months ago.

Syph

woth the money tho i think. i have a single universal fit on my pillar and it required a bit of work to fit and doesnt look that good but the position is perfect for a gauge.
