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

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.

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