Triple A Pillar Mount

[2bclutch]

What is the best fitting Triple A Pillar Gauge Mount that you've seen? Are there any that completely replace the trim piece? This is for a 98 GST.

Don't be trendy like everyone else and get a triple pillar mount, be creative and put your gauges somewhere neat. Think about how many Civics you have seen with those things......

I was looking at that one on slowboy. So it doesn't need to be screwed to the trim piece?

TwoLiterLaser : Is there something honestly wrong with you? How is it ''rice'' to have a tripple pillar pod? The gauges are right in front of your eyes, Therefore you do not need to glance all around the car trying to see your read-outs. Wait, Some ricer cars are the same color as yours... You better get on that and spraypaint your car flat black you inferior god of sleeper status dsm material. Ya don't get a pod, Just let your shit hang all over the place.. You own a dsm, It's what all the ''cool'' dsmer's are doing.

I guess I'll just sell my GST and go buy a Buick.. I mean I don't want to be labeled as Rice.. what ever will I do?

Check out Lotek Inc.'s gaugepod. They are supposed to replace your driver side A pillar for ease of reverting back to stock.

I have the Lotek one and it fits very nicely. It replaces the whole a-pillar and mounts with 2 screws. There is also a coupon that will get you $5 off. Its "clubdsm" and you can find their pillars at http://www.gaugepods.com/products.html

It screws into the pillar itself not into the trim piece right?

I got an Autometer triple pod, but I had to put a couple of screws through it to keep it from sagging from the weight of the hardware.

You take your old stock A-pillar trim off and screw the lotek one directly into the metal.

The SBR pillar and Lotek, both require you to remove the oem driver side pillar and replace with the 3gauge pod pillar and you drill a hole to screw it in on the top of the pillar and you're done.
3 gauge pillar is not rice at all. The steering wheel gauges are also a nice piece but the side pillar also is great and like Rob (1993eclipseGS) stated the gauges are right in your face.
Here is a pic of my 3pillar pod. I plan to put my UEGO wideband gauge by the AC sense I don't use my AC.

Rice? I think not. You can see the screw on top of the boost gauge (Top one)

 

[TwoLiterLaser]

Hey, I gave my OPINION. The gauges I suggested also put the gauges right there in your face so you can stare at them the whole time you are driving. I don't like advertising to the rest of the world that I am using some advanced engine controls and probably gonna smoke your ass if you want to try me. Why do you need to look at them the entire time you are driving? If you set your tune then you will only need them when something goes wrong, you do not have to check your boost or egt every time you stomp the pedal to the floor.

My problem is that I do like Buicks. Man can they be fast.

I like these alot. Do they have them for the 1g? I too dont like to flash my hardware because the cops see it and it gives them reason to pull you over. I have all my gauges mounted around my radio. But Gauges like Boost and EGT need to be somewhere easily visible and I would LOVE to have that.

If you'll notice my gauges, I've rotated them so that they'll point straight up when it gets to the desired reading. That way I don't have to constantly stare at them to see what's going on. Rather, I can use my peripheral vision to passively monitor those engine functions.

Nice. That's what f1 cars used to do when their readouts were analog.

I just feel that A-Pillar gauges bring on un-needed attention from people-ie cops when you get pulled over, someone looking to crack a window and get some gauges etc.

i had them on all my last cars, but my wideband and bg are in my center ac vent. looks nice and clean

 

[jepherz]

I agree with both some posts above and turbob5's post. I have a pillar gauge mount in my galant because it gives me the best view of the gauges I have, which is the most important point. However, I don't like the added attention it gives my car; the gauge pod is the only part that draws away from the sleeper effect.

Just because some honda has an apillar pod, doesn't mean that it is defined as 'rice'. Rice is making stupid mods to your car that don't have anything to do with performance, such as adding an AFR gauge to your stock 02 sensor. I would like to see all of your cars who are calling this pillar pod 'rice' 'cause I bet I could point out a handful of things on your cars that actually ARE rice. The guy asked an honest question, so keep things on topic!

Thanks for all the info guys. I'm going to definately get a black lotek one.
