Do they make a 2 gauge pod for like an air/fuel gauge and something else. You know what I'm talking about so you can mount them on your door pillar to the left of the steering wheel. This shop looked in their books and couldn't find any. He thought mayb I could modify a 86 civic gauge pod. I want to put my air/fuel gauge there and I don't know what other gauge would be good. Got any suggestions on another gauge to buy? I am going to buy them like a day after christmas so I them to install all of them at once. I'm getting the sweet autometer a/f gauge that lights up. And have no idea on what other one to buy so thanks for your input. Is it hard to install the pacesetter header? Is it all bolt on? Or do you have to weld stuff? I was going to get the header and a bolt on straight pipe in like 3 weeks.

Dude I know I can mod them but I was just wondering if they made them for us. A20A1 do you just have the A/F gauge? or do you have others?

someone was talking about one from a CRX might work, but I dont know if that is right or not. I do know that they do not make them for out car.

Ok I think the guy might have said like a 86 CRX instead of civic so I'll probably buy that one and mod it. Does anyone know if the pacesetter header is hard to install? I also would like to know if the pacesetter short shifter is hard to install.

Talk to mantis about the pacesetter... I have a A/F ratio and Boost/Vacuum guage. (both are good for carb tuning.)

i'm pretty sure there is something in the how-to section about this. they tell ya how to do it without a pillar mount at all..

anyway. a/f guage is handy, and i am getting oil pressure gauge, since its a good thing to keep an eye on. hopefully i will be getting a few autometer phantom guages for x-mas... grandparents are having a hard time finding them in 2 1/16, and i dont want 2 5/8" gauges.. :)

That's exactly what I want. What is the boost vacuum gauge tell you? I don't quite know what that is or does. And 88turboaccord did you make that (most likely) or did you buy that and it fit? That looks sweet.

For Justin's car, the boost gauge is for the pressure off his turbo. You can put a boost gauge also, but not much use if the car is not forced inducted.

Well I plan to put a functional hoodscoop on, would that count? And what car was that pod for ?
