Autometer nexus. Had to wrap the gauges in tape to pressure fit them, and they fit like a champ, no dash rubbing. Make sure you're positioning the pod far enough forward too.

Make sure you're positioning the pod far enough forward too. You have to position the pod far enouth from dash. I used 3 different types of gauges installing the pod and all of the fitted fine. I used SLM gauges, AutoGauge, and DW gauges. Heres how the SLM gauges fit and look:  -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

i have this doggy's triple gauge pod sitting in my trunk. I have an n/a engine. The only thing I would need to monitor would be oil pressure, oil temperature, and voltage, because I plan on running a small lightweight battery. What do you think thats all I really need right???

You dont really even need that unless your going for looks. Turbos run gauges because if your pressure or temp goes up or down even a little your turbo may get fried, with a NA if doesnt matter because the light will come on when the pressure is low, and the temp is usually fine. Voltage however is a great gauge, i bought a little electric unit that shows the time, outside and inside temp, and my voltage all on one screen, and its fairly accurate as well.

So I just might sell it to you Andrew just maybe. -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts
