I got the Pod from JW-racing and the BF's from here in the for sale bit. Then took out the silly cup holder and cubby.

Look great but to be totally honest, no offense intended, the pod does not appear to sit flush with the dash.. i.e. Overhanging the edge - is this the case or just the angle it was taken from.

Still very much on the cards however as they look great.

Does it come as a kit with all senders required I wonder or would I have to order each part then senders ?

Very nice, are those autometer gauges?

Any chance of a closeup on the pod & the a-pillar?

What kind of center pod is that, different to the Defi?

How are the pods attached... I assume you have to attach them to the inner tray under the original hinged cover comes out allowing access ??

Defi BF's on my T20.. Second hand from a mate who sold his gorgeous Scoob for a Noble, bur reasonably priced!..

Pods can be mounted a few ways. They can be clipped, screwed and glued in place. The controller can be mounted in the cup holder space as below, or mounted in the footwell. Litchfield prefers them in the footwell.. but I've heard that mounting in the cup holder requires some destructive mods to the area..

thats what i used to fix mine into place, little piece on each corner of the pod. surprising how well it holds in place, easy removal if needed.

Yep, don't want to loose the cupholder either.

V5 STi here... TBH I think I will not go for the BF's... I preffer the look but the stock items will blend in better with the rest of the dials i.e. white and the same green lighting ... hmmm the BF's do look awsome...

Not the best picture, as it was part of one done to sell the car.

White 52mm Defi Gauges, in a Nitosport Carbon pod.



My mates P1 with 60mm White Defis in a Defi Pod.

Ok guys, looks like I'm going to go for 60mm Defi (not BF) as I have a V5 STi (soon...) It has the white dials & IMHO would look better & at night be the same colour..

Now I need to know...

1. Where should I get a pod?
2. What do I need to conect the senders to for the Oil preasure & oil temp.. I would think the boost comes from a feed from the boost solenoid / manifold.

Do I need one of those mounting plates that sit under the oil filter?

Would that be compatible with the Defi sender units?

Just need to clarify what I need in addition to the Defi *kit.


Thanks guys.

I made that brushed part that the guages are sitting in with a piece of aluminum and a hole saw. It was free.
