Dash mounted guages?

Anyone know where to get one of these from, but for our lovely RHD cars? The guy i know in Cyprus has one, he got it from Mazdatrix but i can\'t seem to find it on there so they must have stopped making them. Anyone any idea?

i wouldn\'t bother putting them as shown in the pic mate, i used to have a pillar pod and it was bloody anoying, just gets in your line of sight

I\'ve seen one on a guys FC who lives out here they seem to look okay, but then I wasn\'t driving. I\'m not to into the pillar pods to be honest, what other choices are there?

just put it in the centre console somewhere? its not like you need to be looking at it constantly whilst driving

Ive got a triple gauge pod that goes into a DIN slot, much easier

Pics? I didn\'t want to loose all my heater switches or my non working cd player. Perhaps I could get a triple pod and put it on the dash opposite the passenger side, but boost and engine temp really could do with being in plain sight.

check my fb pics.. i put a boost gauge to the bottom left of the cluster, it covers the top end of the speedo.. but then if u goig that fast u wont bother lookng at the speedo lol

Apparently run racing in Japan make them, not sure if they\'re still going Tasos got his 10 years ago off them!

I took the 2 air vents out above the radio and mounted a plate with 2 gauges in instead. Might not be ideal in Cyprus though.

Well it turns out my car has aircon and I didn\'t know it, all I need is the belt and it re-gassing. Although its no good to me as I am going back to England to live in April and we never need aircon at home! I might remove it all and sell it, I hear it\'s quite sort after as most uk models don\'t have it.

Back on topic, I don\'t need heaters out here but I will in England!!

You don\'t need the heaters blasting at you though. As long as they do the windows then your fine, the cabin still gets warm. You only really need the middle vents for cooling down in summer. Well that\'s my logic anyway
