various gauge pods from xmen car to mazdaspeed.

Pretty much, yeah, they've circulated. I'd not seen the third one before. At least not in any detail (just in the movie). Does it do anything?

truemagellen

we've all seen them but you are forgetting a few (like the one that sits on top of the original facial display and the one that resides on the right side of the window, for japanese cars (located where an airbag is...this one is from Japan where the side airbags are an option, not standard)

n00b question...what do you need all those gauges for if your car is bone stock?

truemagellen

so you can look cool...actually having the true oil pressure is very helpful if you take your car out on the track...there are many here with bone stock cars that take their cars out every weekend and they perform great...but when you are burning up oil at that frequency you don't want to be lifting up the hood, taking the cover of the engine, reaching your hand in a hole where there are parts of your car that are able to melt your skin right off and trying to pull out the dipstick to check your oil levels every lap.

How about adding this one to your collection.

truemagellen

thanks for the pic nemesis8...

just remember...don't try ordering these...we have an airbag there!

woah! on the first image on the display, it shows the strength of the airconditioning? how come my car doesnt have this?! i want this...

and nemesis... it looks kinda ricey, wat's the purpose of those gauges since you dont have a turbo?

truemagellen

nemesis doesn't have those...he is from the US and the steering wheel is on the RH Side
that is a pic from japan...when you are racing you need more information about your car so you don't destroy it

the first pic is from a European or Japanese model with automatic climate control...sounds nice but from what I heard it is more a pain in the *** then helpful

Correct - that is not my car. I just wanted to contribute to your collection of photos. I do however wished that Mazda would have made the gauge cluster more sports car like, with actual calibrated gauges instead of idiot gauges.
