New Age Vents Converted to Guage Pods
 

In the process of doing a bit of work to the scoob, and im having to change the boost guage and also fit an AFR meter.
I was unable to find a guage pod anywhere that i liked, as i hate having extra things slapped around the dash etc. So while sitting looking at the interior of the car, i came up with the idea that a set of guages could go into the airvents on the dash. I didnt really know where to start, but after posting on here got talking to KIPS. He agreed to modify them for me, and they have been returned to me today. Well pleased, cant wait to see what they look like in the car, but heres a preview of how they look out of the car.

Thanks again KIPS :thumb:

that looks excellent, hows he done it?

from what i can see, pieces of plastic are plastic welded in place of the vents, then holes cut out for the guages. He had to take a small nick out of the bottom of both sides to allow for the guages.

NO PROBLEM :thumb:
Cant wait to see them fitted with the gauges if you have any other ideas you know were i am :D

CLASSIC CONVERSIONS

Looks good, I hope you can still keep it cool enough in there in the summer without centre vents :thumb:

Looks good. Looking forward to a pic with the gauges fitted.
What car is it from? Doesn't look like my classic dash.

from an 02 sti mate, the dash is different from a classic. will hopefully get round later to fit it into the car.

set the guages into it and set them into the car, well pleased :)

no probs kips, will do. Heading to see the guy tonight hopefully, see what he says.

I think the clue was in the thread title:wonder: Sorry mate i couldn't resist.:lol1:

I thought a Newage was anything after a classic. Because they have names also: Bug eye, blob eye, hawk eye etc. Not that I know what an 02 STI would come under anyway :lol1:

dont worry joey, i drive one of them and i dont know which one mine is either, thats why i go with new age :)
