Pity 'cause if they offered them with the digital I would buy them ASAP.

I was installing the gauge pods this weekend but I got stuck. The instructions I have are only for a manual transmission and I have an automatic. I figured it didn't matter I could still install them with these instructions. However I can't figure out how to get the gauge lines to the engine compartment. On the manual transmission all you have to do is slip them under the rubber shift insulator to the tunnel. But on the automatic the assembly is very different and I need some reference.

Just ordered the kit. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard or used this company prosportgauges.com. They have digital gauges in 52mm. I might swap the auto meters that come with it for these.
Heres the link to the amber/white gauges. Obtw they switch between the two colors and dont need a controller.

Considering what it was in response to I reckon it would be a good guess that its what he asked for...
But you are correct in that it could do with a little more info, sorry. I emailed RB and asked if they are offering the pod minus the guages. The response I got was that they do, however it is just that...the pod. No guages, no sensors, no lines, nothing except whats needed to fit the pod in the ciggi' tray.

It sure doesn't react when the car is hot.....I think it would need to be running with no water pump...or coolant to see a difference
If you wait for it to tell you you have overheated...you will be too late
