Has anyone installed this pod on there steering column ?? It says it can be secured with a double sided tape ? That sounds realy hokey to me ! But the guage is Defi . What do yall think .

Trust lancershop they are a great company and I get most of my parts there. I bet it would stick on there with double sided tape, but I would probably find a better way to secure it.

 

I'm pretty positive it's just an Autometer pod...You can use clear silicone to secure it, it won't rattle and will be easy to remove/reinstall over and over. In a way it's hokey, but that's what you get unless you can make your own, or choice a different route.

 

I am still so on the fence about whether or not to buy its not funny. I mean i don't want to turn my "depreciating Investment" into mattel hotwheels car with stick-on gauge pod but then again the gauge tha the are offering alone is sooooooo expensive and a man on a budget with a taste for quality and only the best (obviously , i bought an EVO) i want it to be a good looking addition to "Evie" (my car. I mean would i just overlay the gauge pod on the preexisting steering column or would i disasemble the old one and do a one-for-one swap ?

 

Ive got that pod and used the double sided tape to attach it. No problems what so ever with it. It looks like it came with the car.

 

i got a dual guage holder from autometer....I didn't even use the doublesided tape that came with it...I used those plastic nails or whatever you call it...just drill a little hole and push in the plastic nails...perfectly blends in and the fit is good...

 

So do you overlay the gauge pod on the re existing steering column or do you just remove the old one and install the new ??

Sweeeeeet good lookin out man ! I knew you old guys on this site were worth more than complaining !

 

no problems dood

 

the combo works good. but definately need to use better double sided tape / velcro / glue

 

dude..when i turn my headlights on at night, you can barely see the word lancer on the cluster...is that normal?

 

I haven't gotten one yet but being an electrician depending on what you tapped into when you wired up your gauge could play into it, you could also have a bulb blown on that light or, the shine from the gauge could just be making it look less bright. I know your know retard but i thought i had a lighting problem once too till i found out my two year old had been playing racecar in "daddies special car and the dash illumination brightner had been turned down ... its worth a check ?!

 

does anyone have any nightshots of this gauge?

im actually thinking of going with the defi's.. but would rather see a nightshot of them first.

 

they look like the stock guages...

well this was even before i put the guages on...i brought it into mitsubishi to get it checked but nothing was wrong and i ended up paying 78 bucks for nothing...
