damn it, makristal beat me to it. (kind of)
they filed it under oil systems, which is rather odd but I guess I understand the 'logic' behind that.


Here's the link for just the pod, not the whole kit. http://www.racingbeat.com/RX8/Oil-System/11815.html

what pods hold 60mm?
I haven't researched gauge pods since I installed mine so I'm not sure what else is out there.

evo-r has a CF and flat black version. For some reason I thought there were others. I left him a vmail Wednesday and sent a PM. I know they have a rep for being sloooowww so I do not have my hopes up.

I kinnda like the CF ones.
I think if Evo-R has them in stock, they're pretty quick about sending things out. I know I ordered my endlinks and had them in a week. (they came from Hong Kong)

Phil just mounted some gauges and they appear to be 60mm. (referring to the ones on the center dash)

If it was dry carbon fiber, would like them more, some wet CF stuff just doesn't like as good to me. You could always try to make the 52mm sockets bigger right?

Hopefully he gets back to me soon I will probably get the flat black. I plan to get he single vent gauge pod as well and it only comes in black. I will move the boost gauge to the single pod when I get it.

PDX, what are you going to put in the 3rd slot if you move the boost gauge to the vent?

Looks like a good way to mount your 60mm gauges but I fear you won't have it in time for the dyno day.

To be honest, you don't NEED the gauges for Jeff to tune your car, I've seen him do it before.
The dyno can read afr and boost.

That is true. I just really wanted them installed for after the tuning session. But like you said it is not urgent.
