Question Best quality triple gauge pod for MY99 Classic?

Hi all

I'm looking for recommendations/photos of the best quality/fit triple centre gauge pod for the MY99 Classic turbo.

I've seen a few different types on eBay but they all look slightly different with regards to how they mount. I want something that looks as OEM as possible.

Thanks

Going back to this one, it looks like a copy of the "Zero/Sports" one, available here (http://shop.edoperformance.co.uk/zer...c8-p-9274.html) for a lot cheaper! Question is, which is the copy!

I've seen one fitted to a car and it looked quite nice:

I think I may end up going for one of these if I can get one for a good price (prices currently varying from £80-150 apparently for the same item!)

I hope it's the right one. They had two listed on the website, another one which looked the same but said "RHD painted", which was £180! I emailed EDO for confirmation which is the right one.

I also found the Zero Sports website in Japan and the price over there is something like £200+!! Insane price for a piece of plastic!

Great, thanks for that Ray. I am guessing these are like rocking horse sh*t to get hold of. I think I saw someone mention on another thread they got one for £59.99, but unsure if this was from a private/ebay sale or from Subaru.



Going back to the Zero/Sports gauge holder above, I just had a conversation with EDO performance and we came to the conclusion that the part I linked to above is an old discontinued unpainted versions and the more expensive (£180!) one (ZS-0930001) is infact the correct item. Due to the mix-up he offered me this item for £100+vat but I kindly declined for the time being. I'm kind of against paying that amount of money for some injection moulded plastic that costs about 10p each to manfucture (yes yes, design costs and mould prices, I know ).


I'd really like one of those OE Subaru ones to mount a custom LCD module into with a carbon fibre fascia, similar to the Psi3 stuff I suppose.

Thanks. Does it have holes for 52 or 60mm gauges?

The one Ray T posted is an OEM Forester pod, and was part of the compass accesorie pack.H0017FC900OE is the part number.

Only problem is that only 43mm units like the Omori fit out of the box.
52mm can be made to fit, with a heat gun to warm up and bend the upper plastic ridge.

Thanks. I did eventually get the part number for it (and the compass gauge pack) and ordered just the pod from a dealer (picking up on Saturday).

I'm going to put an LCD module in it and interface to the diag port, a bit like the Psi3 monitors I suppose.
