Yeah but I already have the gauges

Is there a synopsis somewhere of all of the options available right now? I was never really a huge fan of A-Pillar pods. I also would likely be using either the SPA dual gauge or one of the new Greddy Multi-D/A gauges. Even though it's 62mm it can display three things at one time. So right now I'm just looking for a single 60MM pod.

I have a number of 52mm gauges left over from a race car build (oil pressure, water temp, and EGT) but there is just no room for them in the BRZ without an A-Pillar pod.

The factory car just has the idiot switch for oil pressure.

That looks like its gonna work. Idk why I thought the brz had the leveler to left. Looks like we can do this!

More pics for Dave. I tried the best to place the camera where my head is in my driving position, but the lens still made it look like more of the windshield is blocked then there is when I am driving:

Doggy, any chance you can do those in RHD?

Prime, here in the UK the display buttons are on the right. Could you do a single gauge cluster pod so that the buttons are kept and the gauge is on the left? I believe the cluster is identical to the FRS just reversed (the dials themselves are exactly the same and same layout left to right so only the Speedo would be covered).

I would have to recieve a rhd core to make them. The cluster surround is asymmetrical and would need to be made off an existing rhd one. I have a customer in Asia who's sending me his so that I can make one off of that but it is completely doable. I've been trying to source some of these to make it available for the rhd cars without having to ship yours first.

Kodename47 · 01-24-2013, 01:11 PM

Mike, is it just stuck over the OEM surround? Is the surround not the same LHD and RHD just with the buttons on opposite sides therefore you should be able to take the measurements from a LHD one and mirror it?

I know it could be of interest on the UK forum once you have a RHD version available.

PrimeMotoring · 01-24-2013, 01:15 PM

Until I get these mass produced I make them by hand off of an existing oem core so they fit perfect.

Kodename47 · 01-24-2013, 01:24 PM

Thanks mate. I will follow your progress closely. I hope you do consider making these on single pod for RHD. For those using a dual gauge it'd be perfect.

Keep up the good work
