FlyRx7 Gauge Pods

Hey guys,

What ever happened to FlyRx7 and his fantastic gauge pods? He no longer makes them and/or left the Rx7 scene?

Be prepared to wait around 3 months......

Edit: *But* having just installed the quad 60mm pod, it was worth the wait. The quality is outstanding, thanks Frank

i already have one of his gauge pods. I was going thru some old links and saw his AOLHome page is no longer valid. I wasn't sure if he still makes them since I see alot of wanted posts in the parts section.

THAT has nothing to do with him not being here. I like the "MSRP" though.

I just bought one from him and had to wait all of 3 days! He had a few 3 pods instock and was in the middle of a 4 pod run. AWESOME product, super high quality! Was expecting a cheap thin plastic pod, but this thing has got some weight. Highly recommended!

No doubt that everyone is satisfied with the Fly Pods. I enjoy mine! The others do the job equally well. I just thought Frank had moved on to bigger and better things. Last I knew he was cranking these things out like hotcakes in 2006/2007. Apparently, he still makes them and he is exclusively on another Rx7 Forum.

I had to wait 3 months for a quad 60mm gauge pod. Worth every penny.

you can make your own and be proud of it. Check out some pics of my pod that I made for $25 here. https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/60mm-center-speaker-guage-pod-884885/

You could also make it hold 3.

I had a FlyRX7 dual 60mm pod in my FD and loved it. The only complaint I had was that the plastic on the outer radius appeared to be a bit thin, which led to warping after extended exposure to Florida summers. Fitment and overall appearance was fantastic despite this one issue I experienced.

I'd purchase again without disappointment.
