Gruppe-S pod FTW!

 

Did you have to drive 2 holes to mount this one?

Has anyone made their own plate for the upper gauge location, like the 42 draft design piece?

 

+1 ^^ I had the steering column dual pods and hated them. if you sit low in your seat or have aftermarket seats that are lower at all then it definitely hinders what all you can see on your cluster. i would not recommend these to anyone.I hae a triple pod on my a pillar and love it. although i would love to get one of those dash clusters

 

I found the HKS CAMP setup... does anyone have this? Seems perfect

can cover all these functions:

here's the camp on an oem screen, obviously on the evo youd need to buy a screen










thing is, the HKS CAMP 2 seems a bit too expensive. I think it's 2200 for the kit basic, and then you need to buy a few extra sensors....

what do you guys think?

I like the idea of having all the readouts in one spot, as much as I love analog gauges, i dont really want to clutter up the interior with too many gauges......

 

Gruppe-S Gauge Pod 60mm (Boost, Oil Pres, Water Temp) For now, thinking of moving to a AiM MTX Display

 

^^agreed

 

Well you can set it up to display warnings for just about everything and it helps me to re claim some much needed real estate on my dash, plus the Back-lit blue display is just sick as well as functional.

BETTER?

 

I think this is the best, maintaining everything else in stock location

 

if you want something easy to look at then go with the a-pillar gauge pod

 

Keep this going! Im liking the AEM gauges... TRU BOOST, A/F, Fuel Pressure

A-Pillar position maybee?????

 

I wish there were more stealthy spots with a good viewing angle.

I have 3 gauges in the center console lower gauge pod, but they are hard to see when driving. Yet anything on the pillar is a big cop/ricer magnet. I thought about the 2 gauge steering column mount but you guys say you can't read the fuel gauge which might be an issue....

There are just so many decisions especially with all the newer LCD based monitoring systems.

 

A-pillar is better, easy to see.

 

I've had my A-pillar triple gauge pod for almost 3 years, and I can honestly say that it hasn't been a cop/ricer magnet. Just don't drive crazy on the streets and you'll be fine. BTW, it took me a lot of trouble to finally find a good pod. I ended up with the GlowShift pod, which cost about half the price of other pods. I ordered and returned a couple of other pods before I got the Glowshift one too. What I liked about the Glowshift is that it is intrinsically gray plastic, which matches the factory A-pillar. Other pods were black plastic with gray paint, which could get scratched off. The only issue I had with glowshift was that it is kind of shiny plastic, but I took care of that by putting it in a box of fine sand and rubbing it down. Now when people see my gauges, they think it was put in by the factory.

 

I like having the gauges at that location. But hey are too high, wish they made one with a shorter height were its barely higher than the gauge diameter.

But I'm thinking another great idea would be disabling the center AC vents and fab gauges to fit there. This way your still looking at the road as you glance over.

Currently I have my 2 guages on the A pillar. Great place to glance over and still kind of see the road. But it kind of blocks the view from seeing the corner area during turns.
