Gauge Pod Placement


Recommended Posts

Hey guys was hoping to get some feedback on where others have placed their gauges?

 

I currently have 2x Prosport JDM gauges mounted in the A Pillar. I have a new Defi Boost gauge getting installed next week. Currently, the Pillar Pod is only held in by double sided tape as I am waiting to get this final gauge put in before I drill through the pillar and connect it and feed it all properly as once I do that, it is basically locked in.

 

I always wanted my gauges on the A Pillar as I thought it looked amazing and I love the look. The only issue is driving at night. If there are no street lights the gauges are very dazzling as they are extremely bright. They are set to illuminate with ignition and they dim slightly when lights are turned on but it is like 15 - 20% dimmer and I'd like it to be like 50% dimmer.

The other issue is my driver side has 35% tints and sometimes at night I struggle to see out the side with the light from gauges creating a sort of blind spot.

 

I am considering moving them into the clock dash position but I first wanted to ask if that was worth doing. Will it be just a bright there? Maybe even worse since I am wondering if it will create a small blindspot at night looking straight ahead and I wouldn't want that! Or is the dash location definitely better?

 

I was also thinking of making some custom tint covers that I could easily clip on and take off so if I ever do drive at night I can just clip them on.

I don't do that much night driving and even less without street lights but when I do, I do notice it.

 

Kinda wish I bought the Prosport gauges that have 6 different tint levels but too late now :).

I'd lose my A/C tho 😮

 

You must be thinking of something else. These one's clip into the defroster vent hole on the right of the dash cluster and leave part of that vent still functional.

Just checked and they don't seem to actually offer one for WRX/STI’s older than 08 though.

Another company Legacy additive does them too but they're more of a raw/rough 3D printed look.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
