Does anybody have any ideas on an A-pillar gauge pod. Maybe pictures if someone has built one ?
Thank You

I have seen some great pics of some here but I don't remember when. Possibly you could find them using the search feature. Expand the dates to all dates and the forums to all forums because I don't remeber if they were on Car talk or 70-83 tech. I do remember that they looked great and i'm pretty sure they had step by step pics and story on how they were made.

Check hybridz.org, there are a couple of threads on building an A-pillar pod. I think the guy started with a Miata pod and made some mild modifications.

Yeah, the Miata pod looks to be about an inch wider than the S30 pillar and requires some cutting and molding. It's not a perfect fit, but does the trick. I've also heard the RX7 pods work too, but have not seen any pics of it done. I'm still searching for a better fitting one. Have even checked out some universal pods on ebay, but they rarely say how wide they are.

This is the closest thing I've found on it.
It's for an S130 though.

NEO stands for Nissan Ecology Oriented. Not sure how that relates to 20 more HP and a better torque curve, but it works for me...

you will be the envy of the club thats for sure. So you decide on what color your going to have it painted? Is it going to match the orange stitching that you had done with the interior?

The rear spoiler is getting removed and it will be a pearl orange. Not as dark as the stitching, more like the new Solar Orange. The front spoiler, tail light panel, and engine compartment will be staying satin black. The paint supplies will be purchased shortly and hopefully it will get painted in the next couple months...

what are you doing with the spoiler? I might be interested if I dont get the whale tail hatch.
