New gauges!

I got some wonderful new gauges today from Freestyle. He made the pod himself. The gauges were already wired into the pod so I just had to wire them all to the appropriate sensors. There is a new A/F gauge, oil press. gauge, and voltmeter. They are all Autometer Lunar series.'I think it looks amazing I dunno about you guys Here are a few random pics of Nick's twin turbo Z:

Looks pretty cool! I don't need that info, but it's a nice look. Good job!

Yeah I don't need them either but they are fun to have The Volt meter is nice because my batteries allways die from my leaving the acessory on too long. The A/F gauge I had before helped me out when my trans slipped and the engine kept stalling. The gauge was giving crazy readings so I figured I would check the MAF sensor and sure enough I found that the intake was disconnected from the throttle body.

How much those gauges cost you? I've been wanting to do something like that for forever, but I haven't yet been able to justify spending the money!

on ebay i saw a 3 pod pillar under "toyota matrix" search... its like 60 after shipping... but its about 18-24" and has two holes on each end to drill into the stock pillar!so its something if you have the time to mess with.. to get a 3 pod pillar.

I need pods that do red background light to match the rest of the car. Yeah theres no direct pod pillar yet, sucks big time cuz i want one for when i SC. I was looking into the CF group buy but $400 is way over my price range (for 3pod and plain) maybe i could just do the 3 pod but thats still about $200

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:11 am

All they cost me was my stock A-Pillar. Gauges came with it. I still have my old A/F gauge.

Hey merz... bringing up an older thread. do you have your older air/fuel gauge? what kind is it. does it light up. ima work on a pillar gauge set as my next project.

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 4:50 am

It works perfectly. It is an Autometer Sport Comp. series A/F gauge. I actually gave it to my dad for his van just for fun lol. I was going to see if anyone wanted it on here but I figured he would get a kick out of it since he is dying to work on cars or bikes and the two house payments are shorting him out on cash Let me know how it comes out! The one on mine is a three pod pillar from a Mustang molded onto the stop A-pillar cover and then repainted. Fairly simple, hardest part would be matching the paint ont he plastic and tecturing it to match the otehr side.

New gauges!
