more like something nifty.. i got the idea when i was watching nascar, how they have all the guages in Autometer.. i thought it would look nice and a bit more up to date to do something like that..

all the regular guages and a A/F ratio guage in the consol and then anything else whereever i feel like putting it..

i'll get some pics of the finished project... i've had it on the back shelf for a while but i'm gonna have to finish it in a few weeks since my cars almost done

Ok guys- Looks like the guage pod, CAI, and S-ACF holder are winning. What are the most common sizes of guages that you all will want to use(I will only use one size making a bunch of molds will be too much of a hassle). I have one copy of the CAI box but I need to change it because I had some problems with fittment and how closley it molded to the edge.

Ok my plan(for now) is to have the base of the pod cover the opening from the idiot light cluster and then the pod will be at the front closer to the ocupants. Having the guages tilted to one side is a great idea but I will have to make sure I do it correctly.

So this pod will obscure the idiot light cluster?

Please more people vote and voice their oppinions the more I see the more people that want products the more I will be able to justify the expenses for the materials.

What would you guys say to a Cold Air Intak(not box an actual intake system) for 175 with KnN filter for the AFM and the air pump?

Minor cutting may be required depending on what tubing I use.

CAI Box, Idiotlight Gauge Pod deal or a plate to mount a Profec-B below the stereo would be cool. All of those are reasonably inexpensive to start on and would sell good.

52mm gauges

It would be nice to have some light weight door panels made because that is where most of the weight in the rx-7 is. But no one cares about light weight door panels and stuff that will help performance gains. they wan't triple gauge panels for their NA. Oil temp/brake temp/exhaust temp or some other useless **** like that.
Make sure that you make them universal so they fit Hondas! as well

Please learn how to use the edit button, or think before you post. Posting several times in the row to get an idea accross is unacceptable, especially when they are only a few minutes apart.
