[LEMHEAD16]

Hey guys,

This probably belongs in interiors but this is my forum. You guys are like my KA-T family. I made this gauge pod from fiber glass and bondo. What do you think?

I can't figure out how to add the pictures to the post. Can someone help me out

good work

[Red-KAT]

I dig it... Now make me one that fits 2 :P

[skatanic28]

looks good. how much of the tach/speedo does it take up?i tried doing something similar but couldnt see 0-30 mph so i decided against it.

[LEMHEAD16]

I miss about 0-18 and 0-600 on the tach, but I figured thats okay

[Red-KAT]

Ya need a Defi HUD and then yer good... I want one but its not on the top of the list.

[AZhitman]

Damn, that's hot.

What would something like that cost?

[LEMHEAD16]

took me on ly about 40 dollars. But I did all the work. I bet I could make my next one better and cheaper

[AZhitman]

I;d like to see it on the car...

[LEMHEAD16]

there are a few small dust nibs I have to sand out and then shoot another coast of paint on. I get some pictures op soon of it in the car-Josh

[d-ta]

totally sweet! instructions on how to do this?

[LEMHEAD16]

I'll see if I can get a how to up. It wasn't that hard it just took alot of time and patients. And it makes a huge mess! But what doesn't

[AZhitman]

Lem - If you can figure out a way to make several of these, I'd like to talk to you about possibly offering them for sale to our members.

Looks really good, you obviously did your homework.

[LEMHEAD16]

Can I get a show of how many would be interested and what chassis its for. This is for s13. I would have to see an s14's column for some measurements.

Josh

P.S. anyone in the Tulsa area with an S14

[ILikeMy240sx]

I would be up for it. My car is a S14.

If you would like I can help you with the measure ment. I do not live near Tulsa but maybe I can send you pictures with measurement...

[LEMHEAD16]

I have a local guy where I can get the S13 steering column plastic from, I will check with some local junk yards to see if I can get some s14 parts.

Red I could probably make one htat fits two but it might obscure two much of the inst. panel. What size gauges do you have

[AZhitman]

Most popular gauges are 2"...

Yea man, that looks hot. 52mm gauges here . Also, if you make it a little higher, maybe you can get a turbo timer fitted underneath, I have a digital speedo, so I don't care how much space it takes up, hahahaha.

I smell groupbuy comin on.

[Structure240sx]

a write up would be great. i would love to make somethin like that for my wideband display i have in the same place. i have an extra trim peice too i can practice with

[boringdrifter]

shoot, if you make it for the S14 i'll buy one off you.

[DOOM240sx]

Ide be interested in purchasing one.....lemme know

DOOM out.

[LEMHEAD16]

It takes awhile to make one. But I will work on one for an s14 and see what you guys think.

[d-ta]

I will be runing... http://store.summitracing.com/...h.asp

If it blocks too much of the speed it could be an issue... Blocking the Tac is no biggie I don’t look at it much.

I have been thinking about just getting the gauge cups and mounting them there... But an intergraded look is always preferred.

I am also interested on one that would mount 3 gauges above the S14 middle air vents... Kind of like the WRX or 3000gt.

I would be interested to know what this would cost me... I guess I could learn to do things like this... heh.

[LEMHEAD16]

I went to the junk yard this morning and got some plastic from a 14. Could someone post a picture looking through the steering wheel at the instments. Just so I can get an idea of how much room there is.

Josh

[LEMHEAD16]

I was thinking about mounting three above the vents, but that would involve removing the dash and working on it, so I decided against it. I think it would sweet though.

[d-ta]

if you need bigger pics, lemme know.
