Need some opinions on gauges.
So I've been looking to get some gauges put in the car so once I get my christmas present (not quite sure what it is yet) I can monitor everything I need to.
The idea I had going was to get these. http://www.aeroforcetech.com/products_interceptor.html A dual gauge set-up. Now my question is, whether I should mount the on the A-Pillar (which I'm not entirely sure how much that entails as far as removing stock A-Pillar, taking dash apart, or what) or should I get the center dash mount with dual cut-outs for the gauges? A-Pillar - http://www.stage3motorsports.com/pro...__Hardtop.html Center Dash (but with two instead of three and no gauges) - http://www.stage3motorsports.com/pro...ercharged.html My biggest concern is taping something to my dash for the second, and for the A-Pillar I'm just afraid I'll have to take my entire dash apart to get the stock A-Pillar off..... Any advice? |
Why not go with the ones that AM.com has? The dash mount on stage3 is pretty expensive. I was looking at these for when I come back from deployment next year after I get the supercharger for my car.

I was just finding something to show example. Plus for some reason AM's site was down last night when I posted this thread.
I just want to know which would look the best. I like the A-Pillar, but I think the center dash is easier and better looking. |
Yea the center dash looks nice but both are pretty cool... I think I might try to do both though.
|
pillar gauges are t3h suck. Keep em low and wait till you have a reason to install one to select which one to install.
|
I don't like how the center gauges look like they were stuck on the dash. Me I lilke A pillar setup with the least amount of gauges possible. I have a 2 pod setup for oil and fuel pressure.
The A pillar goes over the stock one and you drill threw it and use push pins to hold it on. Super easy and simple to install. |
I do have a reason to install them....and holding off only means more money will be poured out at once versus over time. It will happen, so why push it off. Plus right now I need them for oil pressure and one as a shift light (since the 4.10s and my new rev limiter make me think my cars going to blow).
I don't need both. That's possibly the most ricerish thing ever if your car has like 9 different gauges. Especially if two electronic gauges can scroll through everything I'll EVER need. From A/F ratio, to boost, oil temp, charge temp, RPMs, bleh bleh bleh. |
I agree I can't stand when I see cars with a 3 pillar setup, and have the dual cluster setup and the single steering wheel setup too. I'm like why the fuck do you need that?
|
Exactly. I saw a TT Supra at school this weekend and asked the guy to see it (he was an older alumni). So I got it and looked, the entire radio was taken out and replaced with two gauges. The he had a triple a-pillar set-up as well.....
WTF?!?! lol. It just looks like you're trying to hard to look fast. I think I'll go with the a-pillar. Save the trouble of potentially f-ing up my dash with sticky tape. |
I have a friend that has a old 300 zx and he has like 9 guages and they are all needed..... pretty bad ass car..
|
Those Interceptor gauges are badass for sure. If you go for the a-pillar pod setup definitely go with the speed of sound pillar, thats what I went with and I love mine.

I'm pretty sure 9 is still overkill, but I guess safety comes first. Thats why he should just have electronic gauges anyways. By time I bought a shift light and tach, oil pressure, and water temp gauge I'd be at the cost of one interceptor almost (for the price I can get them) |
It has a few in it but he added a lot of different ones. Its a crazy set up. Do you have to scroll through the electronic gauges or what? How does that work?

Oh man I just watched the videos on the website. I'm sold. I'm going to get those instead. THANK YOU!!!

I was hooked lol. They're customizable to the color and make-up you want as well. Plus if anything starts to go wrong with temp or pressure it'll blink letting you know. So it helps ALOT. |
Yea I'll pay the price for those. I think I'm going to tell my buddy about them also. Maybe he'll spend the money on them and take all those damn gauges he has out.

Yea I like the way the A-Pillar looks. The dash doesn't look bad either though. It'll come down to a "game time decision" probably. Still have to wait a little while til I get ready to get my supercharger though.
