on the mounting of that pod. i would think extending it on both sides. so it can mount to the screws that holding the brackets for the sun visor. just an idea though

You are correct. My original ideas was to mount it to the already existing 2 holes for the sun visor. After initial testing, the way we had planned won't work with the gauges installed in the pod, so we are mocking up a bracket to mount first, that we can then mount the pod to afterwards.

loving it. A few paychecks away from stepping up from the cheap a$$ gauges and up to some really nice black ones. Just a few paychecks...

I used to have my wideband on the steering column but I've since moved both up to the a-pillar. It's a '94-01 Integra pod as people have already said before.

(I know my carpet is disgusting, and there's no glovebox back in it yet because I put a shift light in my center vent and I'm still adjusting it)

so how hard was it to mount that tach in there? i plan on doing something similar. i still have no clue where to get all of my signals for gauges. i also am debating on trying to keep part of the stock cluster functional. not really sure how i am going to do that either.

I may have missed it, but how did you get the dash looking that way??? Was it dyed or just a rewrap.. that is fresh.

From what I gather it was very difficult, the previous owner put it in, but he CUT the clear plastic cover between driver and gauges so the bottom rim of the tach would fit (GHETTO), Furthermore, he drilled out a whole of the plastic so the lighted shift toggle switch could poke out (GHETTO). However, since then it has stopped working and I have just been relying on my SAFC for RPM count, need to get in there and do it but...

Default Custom Gauge pods

I made a custom gauge pod for my boosted sc300. I was wondering if there was any interest in these or if some one has any ideas for something else. Please feel free to give me all feedback. Thanks

there is totally a thread for this already. its like 15 pages long.
thats where i read how to fit an acura integra A-pillar gauge pod to the SC.
It needs a little trimming but the general shape is dead on.
I went for a triple gauge pod, but I wish I had gone double.

I like this a lot. When I do mine I am looking to do like the one in the link below # (90 & 113 & 114 OR 207 ) If I do like the one in # 90. I will only use one vent and leave the other vent operational
