My gauge pods
Tuesday, March 25, 2008 8:16 PM
Got bored so i decided to make myself some gauge pods for when the car gets the turbo setup and new engine dropped in. Tell me what you think






^got cracked when i put it in.

Im thinking about removing the pillar pod but i have to see how many gauges i want first.

wow apparently your cav is a jet in disguise... in all honesty though WHAT do each of those gauges do, and in tuning, monitoring, and driving, why are they needed in your cavalier.... seriously.... i want to know... i race.... a car that is decently fast..... with lots of work done to it..... with nitrous... and lots of horsepower.... and i honestly dont have or need that many gauges to keep an eye on the important things.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Like i said I made them for when i drop in my new motor and turbo set up (2.4 5spd.) in the near future. The 3 tinted gauges i had from before and will be sold soon. I'll be installing a Autometer Cobalt series wideband, Oil pressure, fuel pressure, boost/vac, volt, and a Pyrometer/EGT gauge. And its a sunfire.

Your Door one looks almost the same as the ones I have made in the past...

door pod looks decent, but how you supposed to adjust your mirror? well i guess you could tweak it manually but why delete a factory option for a gauge that could have easily been put elsewhere? you could also have made the pod so the adjuster lever was left intact.

Just an idea but you could move the door mount on and put it here. Then whatever gauge you decide is most important to monitor could be kept in plain sight.
Joe Shultes made this one.

Well for me, I adjust the mirrors once in a blue moon. So cutting off the lever was no big deal. Power if you have power mirrors (or in my case toyota mirrors) just mount the control some place else.

The Door Pod is just as easy to see as the one people have done on the column.

For me when I had the door pod and Manual Mirrors, opening the window and adjusting the mirror one or two times a year compared to blocking off part of the cluster at the time, made my mind up.

It just comes down to which one YOU like better, not which one IS better.
