BIG shout to MattH for getting me sorted with this a-pillar pod and autometer gauges. Top bloke, especially as he got the pod made and delivered so i could fit it in time for TRAX

the pod fits over the oem a-pillar trim, no cutting required.
the gauges i got are 52 mm autometer ultralite boost and AFR.

im no photographer, but here are a few piccies of the double a-pillar pod (triple is also available) and gauges fitted into my car.






as you can see the pod matches the original trim brilliantly and can also be supplied in grey.

as requested here are some pics of the gauges (in particular the AFR) at night:




i have wired the AFR through the bright switch (finally found a use for it), so if i get fed up with the flashy lights it can be easily turned off.

i have no connection what so ever with the supplier, but i promised i would give a good word

their website is here BTW j-spec

rich - TRAX was good mate. i was looking out for you, obviously not there

did the 0-60 but fcuked it up. slipped the clutch all the way in 1st and got a disapointing 5.2 secs and i wasnt prepared to pay another £7 to burn me clutch out trying to get a decent time.

Blitz_boy - cheers

Nice to see happy customers, eveyone I've sold to that has given me some feed back are very happy with there pods.

Its the first time I've seen the black pods fitted and I have to say they do look very nice.

Thanks for the praise!!

I'm considering sorthing out a vinyl cutter to do logo's etc, If I get a good responce, thinking around, say a door with upto 8 logo's for 15 quid.


Pods:

Twin 52mm in black or grey 65.00 all in and tripples for 70.00 all in.

Looking


What's the diameter of the AFR gauge? is it an illusion or is it smaller than the 52mm gauge above?

Any plans for a single pillar pod Matt?

Single pod are not on the cards unless I can get 5 peep that want them as Scoobymania etc do the little pods that sid in the corner of the dash.

The deal is that he'll make a mold as long as I order 5 min.

I like the idea of a single pod, but the price seem's very high for what it actually is..

mega_stream, these are very good quality products, I guess they are not for everyone, but when I was looking for one for my supa the Greddy one's where over a hundred quid and the lead time, well!.

As for price, I just have to quote a phrase from my favorite film
"Its a steal, its a deal, its sale of the f**king century. Infact f**kit it think I'll keep it (******)"
