A few members of this here site are looking at some kind of group buy for gauge pods either the 2 or 3 gauge slot variety, that locates in the middle speaker slot on the dash board. Obviously the more people we get wanting one particular type of gauge pod the cheaper we should be able to get em for! :cool

Links for each type of gauge shown below:

3 Gauge Pod (http://hometown.aol.com/flyrx7/Rx7-Gauge-Pod.html)

Double Pod (http://www.tri-powerperformance.com/paypal-page/pod-home.html)

So if you could post your interest up here with the type you would prefer, that would be great.

Cheers, Paul:)

P.S. I\'d like a triple pod

I like the triple\'s best,  but I\'ve been trying to contact Frank at Flyrx7@aol.com for the last  few days and got no reply. I guess he\'s busy! If any one has a spare 3-pod they don\'t need, please let me know.

Yeah i\'ve had no reply from the triple guy either:(, Have you had any more contact Tomrex?

Anyway i\'m in no rush at all now, as my current insurance company want an extra £500 to change over to the rex for only 7weeks til the end of the policy:mad: So looks like i\'ll have to wait until May to drive my RX:(, although it does mean i can buy and fit some more toys to it ;)

No you are not too late, but the triples seem to be tricky to get hold of at the moment, something like a 7 week wait plus shipping time:rolleyes: But i\'m in the process of getting a few sets of doubles in from the US, will keep you posted.

Cheers, Paul:)

i\'ll have a double

I assume theres right hand drive versions these as they are angled towards the driver slightly and those being left hand drive cars on that page mean they will be facing away from us?

**edit** ignore me i read the bottom of the page where it said right hand drive versions available
Title: Initial interest for group buying gauge pods!
Post by: Shaq on April 22, 2004, 11:54:06 AM
yes there is is RHD version available but they have to be specially fabricated hence why they are take so long....

how much we looking at?

im up foe either really.

Post by: Wav on April 29, 2004, 09:42:01 AM
It should come out at approx. £80+p&p(£5) for a rhd double gauge pod to your door, 5 will  be ordered to start with, just to test the water and establish a link with Tri-power, then if successful and there is more demand we can do a proper group buy hopefully securing more discounts:).

Still no news on the triple front though:(, TomRex you got anymore info?.

Kind Regards,

Paul

FWIW, Henning of FDUK used to get them, they came in at £95 but the $ has improved since then I guess.

Frank is over whelmed with orders for the triple pods atm I believe so they will arrive when they arrive :(

Post by: AdrianE on May 01, 2004, 12:54:39 PM
I\'m not sure if a group order is already underway ... but I\'ve also ordered 1 for myself ... the more the merrier
Title: Initial interest for group buying gauge pods!
Post by: 20B_boy on May 01, 2004, 01:16:24 PM
Frank, the guy making the triples hopes to be done with his curent batch  by end of next week - payment and shipping just after then. Geff has 10 of them on order.

The twins are Henning from FDUK\'s baby, Geff\'s trying to sort some thing out with him for future orders, but I think Henning has 5 en route...

HTH,

Post by: Wav on May 01, 2004, 06:29:14 PM
Right I have bought 5 doubles and will be keeping one for myself, meaning 4 will be up forsale @ approx. £80 each plus postage. They are already at my friends Uncle\'s house in the US and should be with me by the end of next week.  If all works out ok, then we can set up a proper group buy (where people will pay up front) for more if there is enough of a demand.

The reason I\'ve done it this way round is so that I don\'t unintensionally mess anyone around and if any money is lost it is my own money that is lost and no one elses. But obviously once this proves successful then the link will be established and hopefully we can get some real discounts for ordering in bulk:D

Regards,

Paul:)

Right I\'ve finally got the 5 dual gauge pods at my house:)

I have sold 2 already, am keeping one for myself and have provisionally sold another leaving just one left. Now I\'m away from tomorrow until Saturday, so the first one to post on here can have it and i\'ll get back to you with payment details etc next Saturday.

I\'ll happily order more if the demand is there, still not sure on the 3 gauge pod situation, but I can definitely get the double pods:D

According to Geff he should have 10 of the 3 gauge pods within 2 weeks as the guy is on top of his backlog and is about to ship.........

I know I am a bit late for this but is there still enough interest to do the 3 pod group buy ? I am itching to get one, be grateful of an update, let us know if we are better going direct.

Cheers,

Mart.

I have a 3 pod 60mm one being made at the moment in the US by that guy. I e-mailed him a week or 2 ago and he said he had started it so it shouldn\'t be long now. Will hopefully arrive just as the car does :D

Going to JAE Wiggy ? Might be fun to laugh over a few beers at just how silly the GT4OC got and why people left in droves !!!

Interested in the gauge pod, lemme know how much it cost you, I\'ll mail the guy and ask him to make me one up too.

Cheers.

Hi M8

I would be going to JAE if the car arrives, bit of a waste if it doesn\'t but I may well be tempted to pop down anyway for a nosy ;)  

I don\'t have a final cost of the gauge pod yet with shipping but its not heavy or big so I can\'t see it being too expensive and the guy seems very nice and helpful. Need to get these Defi\'s in ASAP for the bling factor if nothing else hehehe

My moby number is 07788588351, drop me a text if you go and we can arrange a beer tent to meet up in.

Take it easy
