word to yo ***** g spot

 

Hey guys, in my never ending search for gauge pods, i ran across this company that makes carbon fiber A-Pillar gauge pods for our RX-8. Check it out.

http://www.carbontrix.com/

 

Those might work just fine for me Good find - I wonder if they will match the dash gauge pod that I bought from cortc ???

 

isnt that where the air bags are though?

 

Dunno.. ask them for a more detailed picture to see if the color matches to your liking. I'm not a big fan of carbon fiber interior stuff, so I'm going to leave these alone.

 

AlphaGuy, no airbag in the 'A' pillar, just a logo, they are in the roof. (Pull one off and see.)

Hey guys, if everyone starts bombarding PTP Motorsports (info@ptpmotorsports.com) with emails asking them to hurry up their production of that 3 gauge pod they are going to make they may hurry up it's release. They are taking their sweet old time. Just send them an email.. here's their email address:

sales@ptpmotorsports.com

No - been discussed B4

 

Hi. JDM models have the airbag in the A pillar - so we can't fit the gauge pods

 

No your wrong. The string that attaches to the side curtain air bag comes out of the TOP of the A-Pillar on all RX8's. So, an A-Pillar gauge pod will work on ALL 8's. :D

 

defi link series bf guage. the white ones look just like teh original guage on the car

 

Look at what was just delievered at my doorstep by DHL. Thanks PTP for custom making one for me I can't give out details on pricing since they haven't officially released this yet.

 

NICE philly!!!!!!! I have NAV so no go but I have digital gauges up and running on the NAV screen

 

Like these?

 

very similar and I could make it look identical if I just changed the background color

 

I check in with and see if I can post them...they are from my camera phone so it is hard to see but use a better camera this weekend

 

Oh, I just saw.... Hymee sCANalyser - you dog you :p

 

oh right

 

Philodox, that looks great.
I'm definitely getting one when they're released. I put my defi bf gauge on the left hand side of the dash. I'm installing the turbo in next weekend. Also I received the greddy oil pan today.

 

Awesome phil! I've been eagerly waiting ptp's release of this pod. Please post some pics when you get it mounted!

 

The Mazda Speed digital Gauges look interesting. The ODBII standards don't specify "PIDS" for oil temp and oil pressure. So these gauges either use a manufacturer specific PID, or don't use ODBII. That would mean they either can still get it via the CAN bus, or directly connected to sensors.

I would like to learn more about this.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

How did you get that up on the NAV?

 

anyone fancy this setup? for RHD only though :D
the pods are designed to suit defi 60mm dia gauges


centre dash tri pod and ash tray twin pod are still under development
