There is an A-pillar Airbag yes....

 

There is no airbag under the A-pillar trim piece, only the end of the curtain airbag is secured there: https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...9&d=1162143688

 

Either way A-pillar gauges would be effed in an airbag discharge?

 

Nope.

 

I'm confused, thought that was why there was no A pillar gauge pod?

 

There were some, not sure if they are still available. I remember seeing various pics of these here on the forum.
There are even photos of a self-made one here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-pillar-3-gauge-pod-209596/

The airbag is no problem: https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...2&d=1127489342

 

I'm hoping that everone still enjoying their pod!...

Any pics?

 

Sure do Ben!! best interior mod ever! not sure if I posted on this thread before, here they are again:







Cheers.

 

Nice....those gauges are sexy

 

I only installed my boost gauge so far so it has an empty pod atm

I will post up pics when I get the AFR gauge in

Came out well. I have the digital prosport gauges so they are bright and this pod puts them right where I want them

 

Best looking wheel i have seen on the 8 so far, love the concave....
Awesome pics btw!




Cool, cant wait to see the picta.. :D

yeah well he can poop on you and then drive away you cant say that right now

 

ouch

 

True. But when I do drive away it will be way faster

 

your car look sexy mah friend, it woulda look best if the wheel color is saphire gray....
i always love the concave look.....
What size/width are those?

 

Thanks, I love the Speed6. Hopefully I will get one as a daily after this engine/turbo build is paid off. Nice wheels, when are you going to make a center stack gauge cluster or ash tray unit?

 

Thanks,
i don't have my 8 anymore to fab and test fit it, unless someone donate the center piece for me to make them.. :D

 

Damn I just got rid of my factory center piece. I do have an extra ash tray assembly though

 

I'd definitely consider sending you my oem BOSE center piece for you to test with! I'd have to wait until the winter, though...

 

i'll keep that in mind!

Someone on here was gonna send me the center piece+lotek pod to mold it together , but have yet heard back from him...



what do you want me to do with the ashtray? LOL

 

Make a dual 52mm pod out of it?

 

Would you need the lotek pod? I was under the impression that you just needed the center piece, and you'd fabricate the pod from scratch?

 

Don't you think it's kinda too low to look at it?

yeah, but i want to give you guys more choice on sizes..

 

Well for the occasional look, no. I have the dual pod and I will run FP and OP there, and oil temp, AFR, and EGT in the Lotek pod. Then for the ashtray location I would like to run a second boost gauge and water temp for backup warnings.
