Hello,

Goodday! Wondering if anyone has place gauges similar to the below on a FE32? Will it will block the airbag from functioning properly?





Thanks.

 

Yeah, that will most certainly screw up the side air-bag.

 

There is no bag in there, ask the guy who put the gauges in, it's hollow and clips off easily.

The side airbag comes straight down from the roof.

Actually, from what I've been told, the airback is behind half of the A-pillar.

 

No airbag in there.

See pic - note airbag deployed - note 'A' pillar cover still in place.

Another pic of the side airbag and how it deploys. It won't interfere with A-pillar. I have my boost gauge there.

 

I stand corrected.

 

that looks messy

 

maybe this suits you, made for 8.

 

That looks pretty cool. What brand is that and any shops to recommend to get tt fixed?

Thanks!

 

from jp, us. eonline shopping...
actually i saw one with 3 defi in it, oso for 8.
somehow lost the webby liao...

 

Yesterday, I picked up a friend in my car and she said... "wow... your car is very nice... looks like a sports car..." Grrr....

Then she spotted the meters and said, "what're those?" I told her those are world time clocks... for London, Moscow and New York. She said, "dun bluff me leh... oil temp and water temp... your car needs these meh?" Grrrr....

 

steady, u like can liao.
it's your car...

 

Bro dun fret !

Only a handful of girls knw abt cars and such !

Shld hav told her those gauges are turbo boost n she probably would agree !!!

cheers

 

I think those pictures shown are window airbags. The a-pillar airbags may be different. I am not sure about our 8 as mine does not have a-pillar airbags as its a jap spec version.

I think its worth checking it out further yourself as it can be a hazard.

 

But on the side pillars, there's a logo "SRS", so i guess that's where the AirBag is kept?
Because of the logo, i dare not installed anything on the pillar at all. I placed the guages in a row on the dashboard in the centre.

 

side airbag, window airbag, a-pillar airbag.... they're ALL the same. It connects on the very top of the a-pillar and extends on the side of car.

Here's a picture of my a-pillar removed. You can see the airbag and the bolt, nothing else in there.
Here's my DIY on installing a gauge on the a-pillar.

 

the a pillar will still pop off though if the air bad is activated.

 

No, it won't pop off. Read post #5. Airbag is deployed and cover is still on.

I also found a few more pics of the side airbag.

 

could anyone know where to get the monitor on the left???

 

I think its a option available in the UK and US. Navigation system.

 

that picture most likely is taken off from japan.
