It will only push out the length of this green clip. I hope that will alleviate any anxiety you guys have of our pillars. (Again, we mold our pods into factory pillars so, all airbag functions are retained. We just received 10 pillar sets in from Scion, so we will begin production soon.)

For @Dave-ROR.

For those asking about the oil pan baffling, The lower oil pan (the black part that unbolts), is not baffled at all. There are 2 tubes that have rubber gaskets that mate with the engine when you bolt it up. The pan literally only holds less than 2 quarts of oil, the rest resides above it when the engine is off. The reason I know this, is that when you put the oil return line on it for a turbo and then fill the oil to proper fill, it fills up the oil return line all the way up to the turbo. The dipstick reads a little less than half full when its full.

My gauges are rotting away in the closet. I hope my cluster pieces are close

Hopefully I'll have time this weekend to install my MSA pod. Haven't even opened the box yet.

Pure Automotive · 02-08-2013, 02:06 PM

I test fitted an Auto Meter 2 5/8" in my vent today, looks like it's going to work well.

Dave-ROR · 02-12-2013, 07:52 PM

I finally mounted the defi's in an MSA 2 gauge pod. The quality of the pod is very good

I still hate A pillar locations for gauges

I hooked illumination up to the fog logs so I could annoy myself less at night by turning the foglights off which turns illumination off also.

Illumination on:

Foglights/illumination off:

Vision blocked by the a pillar pod (which is why they aren't my favorite setup):
