gauge/pod

gauge/pod

hey guys.
have a 01 corolla i basicaly want to put a gauge pod but not a tripple one. a dual would be fine.
wondering were i can find one for a 01 corolla. and the fact that i don't have a turbo/ don't think gonna put one. what kind of gauges u think i should get??? like water temp or something. i just want to put it in the car cuz it kinda looks cool
so any idea??? thanks

you can get a dual dash mount and have it moulded in to your dash... but unless your running boost there is realy no point in having more guages then what tehy give you... but if you realy want one.. then an Air fuel, and maby uhhh... battery voltage (especally good if you have a system..

u by any chance know where i can get those gauge pods?? . i don't like the gauges that are mounted on the dash though
i prefer the other ones, that r connected ***..don't really know how it's called . on the left side of the driver side..lol

A-pillar.

exactly.

This may be the truck guy in me talking, but if you have no plan to boost, why do you want a dual a-pillar guage cluster? Looks only?

basically yes. i know this might not be an excuse but i don't live with my parents, have my own place , go to school pay my own stuff..blah blah blah..i've invested a lot in the car....do i want to put a turbo in it?? HELL YES. but not right now. so i just wanna put a gauge in it . for looks?? sure why not . won't hurt.
thnx

get one custom made at a shop im gonna try to get a trunk lip spoiler custom-made for mine.

You can get a 3 gauge A-pillar I believe.

get a cheap plastic integra pod off ebay. trim it. screw it onto yours. mold it in. custom and only takes about $20 and then you paint it.

you'll want one with a smooth finish because when you mold it in it might look funny...

thanks guys . i'll see what i can do with it.

that ebay link..is it really that cheap or is that just a piece of garbage???

You can form those pods to the pillar easily using a heat gun.. just be patient and not try to do too much at once.

However I never understood why people use A pillar pods.. I mean the A pillar already block a lot of your vision on the left as is but having gauges there would really obstruct your vision for left handed corners.

Not only that they stick out like crazy to everyone from car thiefs to police officers. I personally would got w/ something more subtle, like mounted in the dash where all those extra compartmets are...especially if there is no boost to go w/.
