... does anyone know of or make a custom gauge pod for a 92-95 civic that houses 2 2" gauges at the stock gauge cluster as opposed to the pillar... similar to the pods here pictured below but for a 92-95 civic...

This doesnt help ur question but please if someone knows if something like this is made I would love to know as well, I've always wanted to find a guage pod like that.

 

Im pretty sure that they dont make that for the 5th gen.

 

i/ve never seen one for a 92-95
i just looked in autometer and tsuanmi and neither have one

 

yeah... i havent found any retailers either... i was hoping someone here has made one before and could give some directions... or if someone owned a fabrication shop and could make one... i guess we'll see... ^^bump^^

they make one that goes along the right and has a pod for the large tach, its made by autometer thats about it..

 

how would you mount it in the 5th gen civic?? the way the dash is designed it woulndt support it

 

Just in case nobody has seen this before its the one i mentioned from autometer

 

I'd hate to have a passenger's side air bag with that thing...

 

^^^

anyone else???

thanks

 

why....the airbag is on top of the dash...the gaugepod is on the front

 

that's horrible

 

Sorry I should have given a better diescription of the potential problem.
Think about it ..........
The air bag is deployed from the top of the dash but where is your face? The right side of that pod is in the bag's travel envelope.
Why are A pillar mounted fire extinguishers a no-no?
It's not something I'm willing to chance in my passengerside air bag equipped Civic, so I'm making my own to eliminate that situation.

Don't get me wrong it is a nice piece....but it would have been better if Autometer had thought it out better. Considering my experiences with Autometer, they don't and can't think that far into the product cycle. IF only it was sans the tach mount and didn't stray so far to the right.

id rather spend my money on an EX/Si cluster so i wouldnt have to have that huge tach..

 

SLPR - I stand corrected
