Hey guys, in my never ending search for gauge pods, i ran across this company that makes carbon fiber A-Pillar gauge pods for our RX-8. Check it out.

Those might work just fine for me Good find - I wonder if they will match the dash gauge pod that I bought from cortc ???

alphapenguin

isnt that where the air bags are though?

philodox

Dunno.. ask them for a more detailed picture to see if the color matches to your liking. I'm not a big fan of carbon fiber interior stuff, so I'm going to leave these alone.

AlphaGuy, no airbag in the 'A' pillar, just a logo, they are in the roof. (Pull one off and see.)

Hey guys, if everyone starts bombarding PTP Motorsports (info@ptpmotorsports.com) with emails asking them to hurry up their production of that 3 gauge pod they are going to make they may hurry up it's release. They are taking their sweet old time. Just send them an email.. here's their email address:

No - been discussed B4

Hi. JDM models have the airbag in the A pillar - so we can't fit the gauge pods

No your wrong. The string that attaches to the side curtain air bag comes out of the TOP of the A-Pillar on all RX8's. So, an A-Pillar gauge pod will work on ALL 8's. :D

truemagellen

truemagellen

Philodox, that looks great.
I'm definitely getting one when they're released. I put my defi bf gauge on the left hand side of the dash. I'm installing the turbo in next weekend. Also I received the greddy oil pan today.

Saxman

Awesome phil! I've been eagerly waiting ptp's release of this pod. Please post some pics when you get it mounted!

The Mazda Speed digital Gauges look interesting. The ODBII standards don't specify "PIDS" for oil temp and oil pressure. So these gauges either use a manufacturer specific PID, or don't use ODBII. That would mean they either can still get it via the CAN bus, or directly connected to sensors.

I would like to learn more about this.

Cheers,
Hymee.

How did you get that up on the NAV?

EZZY
