Knight Sports Gauge Pod Installed
 

Looks like a week for gauge pod mods after seeing ngkenny's post on his excellent mod. Here's an install of the KS two-gauge pod by team coupe07. Very good job on the install, great attention to detail and much appreciated by me :)

What I like about this pod is that it puts the gauges in my line of sight, don't need to look around to take a reading. Plus, I only wanted oil temp and press given the 13B's dependence on oil for aid in cooling the rotors. All said, I'm very happy with this little mod! Here's some pics:

looks very trick yo!

was the installation a direct bolt on or like mine(where you have to remove the center console and such but still a relatively easy job)?

Props for the fantastic fitting!

Hey bro....no bolts at the pod, no cutting...the main cable from the defi link slips in between the center dash and the main instrumentation consol into the pod...a good solid mount with double sided tape since the pod is CF and very light, but took the guys a bit of patience with getting the fit perfect, which they did nicely :beerchug:

Nicely and neatly done ! swee ! :ylsuper:

Wonder will KS do a 6 guage POD console :spank: :spank: heehee

Nice. But it will look even nicer with another one on the right.

Then it might look like a mickey mouse hat...

I like it.The HookUP Shop has CF for the OEM cluster panel.I think it would look good with your new addition.

COOOOooooooooooOL Stuff...

Sooon....with more gauges... the RX8 is going to be one nice BOEING 747 cockpit..

Lift Off....

Mutated mickey mouse.

I guess i like symmetry.

hahahaha :mdrmed: :mdrmed: :mdrmed:

no cutting, no drilling. Direct fitted on console. Fitting is usual japan high standard. Perfect fit.

I was also attracted to this pod too! It looked good. Damn good.

3 thumbs up if I had an extra thumb!! :rock:

Boost meter huh?
 

Yo,

Is that a TURBO BOOST Meter???? *wink*

Cannot see clearly leh. I thought its a oil press?

Yeah that's oil press...no turbo boost in my ride :fingersx:

The more I drive with this little pod the more I like it!

coupe07...I should have installed the mastervac ages ago...enjoying that as well :)

Its really a good idea. Now you can use the centre space for other purposes.

keep your eyes on the road ok! stop looking at the needles moving up and down. Heehee....I can't help it myself...always looking at the gauges

haha me too....out of curiousity, what's your oil press reading when you're up to speed? Mine's about 500 kPa.

that looks sick genesis! Good stuff! That would look much better with a boost gauge, hint hint..haha

hmmm....let's see..

default setting ivan set for me.

Oil pressure - max at 5.xx as well. Min setting is at 1.6

Can someone tell me if this is available for LH drive and if it would go on the right side of the gauge cluster.......where can i purchase this gauge mount and how much?


thanks

Hehe.. tough question. Thats for driving on the wrong side of the raod; or us driving on the wrong side of the road. :)

btw, theres one more KS gauge pod available.

I'd like to see that pod mounted on my driver's door side. Will that pod fit LH drive cars? - Gary, SoCali

I dont see that's a problem...... Maybe slight cutting......
