Gauge mounting placement - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #43580 18 posts Started by Shocker
I know there was some where that had a lot of pictures where people mounted there gauges.. I have a tripple a pillar but i cut off the bottem pod and only used it because i dont care for how the two up top are placed..So im looking for other options any i deas would be great..and pics would be even better..
Thanks peeps.

Made mine like this out of a double and single. I like the way the boost gauge carries the eyes to the other gauges. Had to add a volts meter because our alternators/batteries suck so bad. LOL. The SAFC-II won't display volts in my chosen viewing mode, WTF?

Thats nuts looking..But i like how you have every thing near by..im might have gotten a good idea from that..I guess i might have to try out my fiberglassing skills again.

Nuts looking? I like it and I havn't seen anybody else with the same setup so all the better. The SAFC-II matches the radio and can be stowed in the sunglass case underneath [where it is velcro'd to in the pics] for dubious parking lots [a must as I travel often and must leave her at the airport] or it can be stuck to the top of the steering column via almost invisible velcro strip for track days. All in all, a very usefull setup and easy to veiw important information when necessary.
BTW - Everything except the radio display and the SAFC-II display [which match perfectly] light up red. Every gauge, every light. I love it that way. Gives it that "submarine under attack" look in the cockpit. LOL. The illusion of danger as they say... wink.gif
RED ALERT... I have my safc in the shifter surround..all of my gauges are the cobalt series A/F,Oil Temp and Oil Press..And Greddy profect b..
im gonna try to work somthing with somefiber glass thoe because i like how you have every thing in that area..

Very nice! What gauges are those? o0black0o and I are putting in a few gauges in his car tommorrow and those look really nice.
I have actually started making a fiberglass mold of the dash area above and around the steering wheel..im gonna make my own gauge pods.. I just hope they dont turn out to bad.

Did you custom that?
^ oh ya. lol. Its definitly custom. He had a thread on it too I think. Search around and see what comes up.

I still have to mate the bracket to the dash piece then it will be done, but I just did some metal work to make that bracket. Not the cleanest looking, and thats a bad pic, but I'm not into interior that much anyway.
