merckx Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm just wondering if an a pillar gauge fitted with 2 - 52mm white faced gauges are a little distracting when you're driving the car? I'm not sure if most of the pillar pods are for the 60mm gauges. The reason I ask is that I'm not sure to whether to mount them there if I can find a decent pod or remove the radio which I hardly use and mount them in that location.

Stonkin Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 At least you can check them easily whilst on the move if there in the a-pillar, looking down at the stereo area could be a bit dodgy. I'm after a single pillar pod but dont seem to be able to find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I don't find mine distracting on the pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Cheers I'm not sure if there are any 52mm a pillar gauge pods that are specific to the Supra. I might have to make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a miami-gt two pod thingy and it can be used with 52mm or 60mm depending on how big you trim the holes I have 2 52mm guages so will be cutting the holes to that size of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I believe MiamiGT *might* be attempting to source new ones as we speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I have a 3 pod and I don't find it distrating in the slightest. In fact you can sneak a glance at the guages without taking your eyes off the road, almost essential. If I had to look at the glovebox I'd probably hardly notice them and it would be too late if something was going wrong. not really a massive difference between 52 and 60mm tbh in any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Cheers I'm not sure if there are any 52mm a pillar gauge pods that are specific to the Supra. I might have to make one. Got mine from Envy. It fits and looks good quality. I had one hole 52mm and one 60mm - custom order, same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darragh Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 ill admit it is a distraction for the first ten minutes of driving for the first time but u get used to it:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 oh ok well i bought it from Voo51 on here and she said it was from miami-gt. maybe give them a ring? I'm sure they're about £80 Yes mate, the full A-Pillar pod is a Miami-GT original jobbie as I sold it to Voo51 in the first place (she made about £20 profit out of you - bless her! ) I ordered one when I was away and my wife did the same as a pressie; hence the reason why I had two. They cost £80 at the time but Miami-GT don't sell them anymore as their supplier has gone bankrupt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 LOL I don't blame her for making money, she won't get rich by giving them away I got it at a cheaper price than buying from a trader so all is well Surely there is another supplier of the same/similar product?

Do you have any pics, ideally close ups Pete? I brought one a year ago and tbh im not happy wit the fit nor the finish, thus looking for a change. How is yours secured?

ChrisR Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks Chris Not cheap but they do look very nice. Did you have to wait very long after ordering it? The one i bought for the Supra was in stock so it was just a couple of days. I had one in my old GT-Four which i remember having to wait approx 2 weeks. They are excellent quality and have a stock finish, at the time i couldnt find anywhere who did 52mm ones. There were a few generic ones that accepted both 60mm & 52mm however what i liked about these was that the pods were no bigger than neccessary as they were specifically for 52mm gauges Hope that helps.
