on the 96-00 civic EK or Civic Type-R etc... Id like to mount three gauge pods into the space where the pocket is currently.

Does anywhere sell a pod like I need?

its to go in the pocket at the top of this picture

Click to enlarge..

 

maybe a din blockoff plate from the type R? then drill out three holes for the guages, or a carbon fiber plate with the same idea.

 

thats the kind of thing that im thinking but if theres anything off the shelf it'd be alot neater.

 

i think that defi makes a plate thing with 3 gauges in it....$ though

 

Sizes are:

1-Din radio size is= 7.5"x2.5"

Pocket is 7.5x2, surrounding fascia area is 8.25x3.75" and 3.25 deep.

 

whats the black box for under the cup holder.

 

Clifford Concept 650 MK2 alarm system that also has remote start, turbo timer, window roll-up/venting by remote, dual zone proximity sensor, digital tilt & motion sensor, black-jax anti-hijacking and various other othtions.

Its a fresh inport from Japan, EK9, extremly clean, inside and out. So I didnt want to take my chances with having it stolen as NO japanese car comes with an alarm, some newer ones come with transponder immobiliser key but not the 98 Civic Type-R which is what mine is.

 

bump for more ideas / help

Looks like a main unit for a alarm.


I've place my radio in that pocket, so its the same size as the upper one.
Easiest way is probably using a block off plate with three holes.

Not the same size!

 

If you have a radio in place of this pocket then please give me your cars make/model so I can order this part to use on my car.

Cheers

I have ordered the triple-gauge single-din pod like in the website BUT, I need the part of the factory centre console that IS 1-DIN sized so I can put it in

 

ok maybe i said it wrong. i've replaced the pocket with my radio.

i have a 96 EK4

 

you need to get a block off plate.. nobody makes a guage pod for that spot. just get a block off plate... Drill the holes for your guages put em in and wire em up... its actually simple..

52mm drill bit.
the block off plate
drill.

only things youll really need.

 

^ yep.

heres a pic of someone doing it in an integra.

 

Thanks guys, ive realised i measured the outer edge of the radio fascia, not the actual size. D'oh.

Im ordering a 1-DIN sized triple guage pod from a tuning shop here.
