Guage Pod for RX-8
Check out these guage pods for our RX-8. They have 2 versions. One require cut the dash cover and the other is direct bolt on. I personally like the cut dash one. They will work with any 52mm guages. These are for left hand drive only. Here are some pics.

Yes, they're available.
I've ordered the version 1 (first 2 pics, must cut dash). It should arrive soon and I'll post pics once I install it. I'll do a DIY also for those wondering how to put it in.
Due to forum rules, I can't disclose the price here.
PM fd3s777 for info.

I got my pod in today and started to install it. It looks to be made out of fiberglass and is very strong. Again this is the version 1 pod and you have to cut the dash.
I was hoping to install it parrallel to the dash but due to it's shape it can only go in slanted. See picture.

I can't discuss the price it cost, but it was much, much cheaper than the PTP one or the Mazdaspeed gauge kit one.

Just got my gauge pod from fd3s77. Easy transaction with no trouble. i got version two,the bolt on. (the second set of pictures). Came just as promised and as Adrian said up above in the thread, seems to be a quality piece, very sturdy. I however have the Defi Bf gauges (60 mm) and will have to modified the holes slightly to get my gauges fit, but it can be done easily with a dremel or like tool. There is enough lip around the holes that once that is finished, you will never be able to tell that the holes were modified. I may start work on mine today and when finished will post a DIY and if anyone needs any help with verision 2, just post or pm me as there were no instructions. Off to the garage!

Update on version 1 pod.
I did not know how to attach the pod to the dash so I took it to my local bodyshop and they used some black silicone stuff. They charged me $30.
I'm still waiting for the gauges to come in. They're the Defi Link meter ones (not BF) in 52mm and black face w/ an adjustable red arrow on the bezel. Getting EGT, water temp, oil pressure.
