Kev.O Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'm thinking of getting an a-pillar as I don't want to loose both my air vents. I know Miami gt do them and so do Envy, but I was wondering which fits and looks best ??? Opinions please Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Ill be selling my double pod all cut and ready to fit and it looks like stock trim once I get the Mami-GT tripple in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Greddy pods are excellent too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURT Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 got a 60mm greddy pod from whifbitz, fits really well, good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Greddy are good - but personally I dont like the 'fitting over the existing' look Can get them for anyone of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez_p Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 i have the miami-gt dual gauge one which replaces the stock trim it comes in a state where you have to bore out the holes for your gauges so you can choose 50mm or 60mm very pleased with it, my comment being that it only just reaches where it goes over the door so you have to be spot on when fitting it fitting can be done with adhesives etc but i chose to go for a couple of black screws, one which fit snugly into an unused thread on the a pillar and the other a self tapper into one of the metal fixings that the stock item clipped onto i figured this way i wouldn't have to re-stick it all back on if i ever needed to get to the gauges or re-wire etc i'll take a pic tonight & post it up for you if i get chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Nic can supply GReddy one's for a reasonable price. Fitted mine recently and it's just like stock...(60mm though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvy Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 thanks for that wez i too have one (ebay purchase) and was having the dilema of how to fix it in position. wez, how did you manage to drill a hole exactly where you wanted it? Any other ideas as to how peeps ahve attached theirs? i positioned mine where it would be fitted..and had previosly stuck some sticky paper tape to the underside roughly where the screw would go and screwed the screw in the hole...when happy with the positioning i took some white correction fluid and painted the top of the screw....pressed the pod home and there was my drill mark the correction fluid wipes of the screw when dry. The pod is held in at the top without an extra screw. make sure you get fitting perfect tho...cos i have two holes...the first went wrong!!!

MR.B Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Yep mine was fitted exactly the same as Irvy - except I got mine right first hit so I only have the one screw hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof. Monkey Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Make sure you save the plastic lugs from the stock a pillar cover, so you can glue them onto the fibreglass Miami-GT offering as they do not have any. This is what I did and they fit fine, use some black insulating tape to cover up the gap between the pod and the a frame. Let me know if you want some piccies of mine!

Ulrik Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 The best one is from Lotek http://www.gaugepods.com/ They custom make one for you. They even paint it in the Original Supra color. I paied $69 including shipping to my door. BUT it was for my LHD supra. So you gonna have to ask them if they make for RHD. I can get you some pictures of mine, when i get back from work. I have a Full Pillar Pod, 3x60mm. It replace the original part....really sweet setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
