piller pods

[spades27]

does anyone know where i can get 3 piller pods cant find them anywhere if somone can hlp me!

[AccordEpicenter]

youll have to fab one to fit or use one from an 88-91 CRX Si. I used a dual from a 99 eclipse but they all need a little bit of tweaking to fit good

[spades27]

thx man i know they dont make them for this year but i knew there was some other one that was close ill try what you said by the way is that one a 3 or 2 pod one for the crx id really want a 3 pod

[AccordEpicenter]

i think rob is using a 3 pod from a crx. Ive used a heat gun to bend/mold them a little bit and that seems to work good if youre careful

[1987HondaAccord]

are there 1 guage piller pods that might work?

[spades27]

you guys are a great help if theres anything else i can do to to improve the performace of my car that is very inexpensive pls let me know wife will kill me if i spent to much money LOL 2.0L 2 brl carb 5 speed. Once again thx im going to order the pod and hope it works.

[bobafett]

honestly spending $40 on a pillar pod, and $200-$300 on guages shouldnt be your priority unless you already have nitrous or some other serious work done...

since your a carbed guy i would suggest doing the following:

free : vaccum line removal mod, there is an article in the how to section here on 3geez.com

$104 if you dont provide a core : get a delta 272 cam, this woke my car up quite a bit, with really no adverse effects, stock-ish idle, reasonable low end...

$250 : custom 2.5" catback exhaust from any old muffler shop...

$80 : high flow cat off ebay (get a weld in, should be cheaper, and u can have them put it in at the muffler shop when u get your exhaust done)

* also if you order a cat online ,u might as well save a buck and order the muffler online, the shops are usually at least twice as much money for the same product..

$200 : pacesetter header / justins header $? : will really open up the topend...

at this point thats about $600 in mods, and your accord will be about 1 second faster in the quarter mile lol... terrible... if you really want performance, you should rebuild your motor, get higher CR pistons, and a sturdy valve train, and go with a custom manifold and some good carbs...

have fun.. and dont bother with guages yet... they are useless (unless you are talking oil P, and water T (most people want AF/ vaccume, and other pointless ones...)

[spades27]

LOL well to tell you the truth i had the guages giveb to me water/oil/volt so just thought id put them to use but thx for the other stuff i might have a zc motor comming to me so we will see what can do witht that!

[bobafett]

thats cool... at least those are good guages,water and oil are great since we have no way to monitor otherwise...

i used a CRX dual pillar (for sale, 20 shipped if you want it) and without modification it fits "ok", good enough i would say, and i am usually sort of picky about that type of stuff...

i also had a triple guage holder made, i bought the console with the tape holder, and made a face that would hold the gauges... i will sell you that too if you want it (blue) for $30 shipped

if your interested i can getcha pics

[bobafett]

no worries man..

the pillar pod is only a 2 guage pod
and am i understanding you that you dont want the console piece either?

Another way to do your guages.
My shifter is just like yours. Is there a way to have a "stock" looking cup holder between that and the cd player. Like bobafett's console except instead of guages they hold drinks.

[bobafett]

very rare, but they do exist... :) good luck finding them. i find a good cupholder is between the ebrake and seat. :)

Haha. Nice. I think I might be to bootylicious for that. Do they come off of a certain accord or do you just have to find a car taht it looks like it would fit?
I'm pretty good at fiberglassing. Would it be just as easy to make my own? Like are they that difficult to find?

[bobafett]

im pretty sure they mostly only come on SE-i's, but i think i have heard of a very few LX-i's that had them. :D

I'm so confused about all the diffences of the LX, SE, DX and what not. All I know is that the DX is like bottom of the line which is what I have. :)

[bobafett]

DX and LX are carb'ed accords, LX-i and SE-i are fuel injected. SE-i came with bose stereo, 4 wheel disc brakes, sometimes a factory bronze 80s style tint, and steering wheel audio controls i think. they also came with cupholders and tape holders and things like that. :D

there is something that breaks it down in much more difference, but for all practicaly purposes, its whether or not the car is fuel injected or carbed.

[bobafett]

from the faq



Alright here is what I know about these 2 models, and the differences between the two.

LX-I - Is basically the top of the line model for the 3rd Gen Accord. It has pretty much every power option. Power windows, power doorlocks, power antenna, power mirrors, A/C, fuel injected engine. As far as power sunroof go's that was an option while buyng the car, so not all have them. Well these are the main things, I may have missed a few things.

SE-I - is basically like the LX-I, except is a step-up from it. It actually has many more cosmetics, and other options.
The SE-I stands for "Special Edition injection".

Here are some things that the SE-I has, and the LX-I doesn't

1. Dual outlet exhaust
2. Leather seats
3. Honda/Bose music system, with remote on steering wheel.
4. Front center Armrest
5. Center console with beverage holder
6. Covered cassette holder
7. Bronze tinted glass
8. 4-wheel disc brakes
9. 2 of the special colors are Brittany Blue and Asturias Gray, there are a couple of other colors too.
10. Special Alloy wheels
11. Center armrest

Besides what I listed, they are basically the same.

[spades27]

what about the ex ones mine is carb too

[bobafett]

ex is the same thing as a USDM LX, EX-i is the same as USDM LX-i :)

[spades27]

oh ok cool thx
