where to mount gauges

[GVR40]

guys, i'm after opinions on where to mount my gauges, looking at putting 4 2" gauges in somewhere, and i would like them all in a similar area, without ditching my ac vents...2nd din panel is out as well because of stereo

hurm.... i think we have talked about this before in a different thred.... but any ways..... WRX gauge holder for the top centre of the consol can be slighty modded to fit VR4 dash

mine are attached to the front leg of the roll cage :lol:

 

[GVR40]

well, i don't have a roll cage, might go the wrx one, or even the gsr ecs

i have a gsr pod and a wrx pod in fibreglass if your interested,

 

[GVR40]

do you have any pics of them baz, i may be very interested

 

[dedant]

how well does the wrx one fit

 

[JayRome]

WRX dash's have a rounded surface, we have a flat one. so you would have to just shave the bottom of the gauge pod to fit it on a VR4 dash, just to flattin it off .... also depends which WRX the gauge pod is made for?

I doubt you could fit 4 gauges into the GSR pod, they would have to be really dman small gauges.
Anyone actually fitted the WRX one?
wouldnt really be too hard to DIY, just take a mould of the base, make a few lil rings to sit gauges into, wrap, reasin and paint it.

I might do one soon if i get a couple more gauges, only got one now so it hardly seems worth it

Not really a big fan of the WRX style holder... Would kind of look weird to see a WRX part in a lancer tho ...

 

[WRCVR4]

well, i don't have a roll cage,

Well you can fix that, also fix your handling issues while at it (2 benefits from 1 mod :lol: )

Edit: Me backs away and rolls eyes :roll:

 

[GVR40]

i don't have handling issues, i have oil pump issues, and lack of time issues, but not handling

i saw a good idea today on mounting gauges, boost gauge in the centre of the steering wheel, it looked pretty sweet aswell, was on an old chrysler

 

[GVR40]

baz do you have pics of the setups you have, may be interested, email me at [email protected]
