I bought a generic pillar pod and used heat gun to mold it in place. There was a company that could have wrapped it for me but I figured that's not really a good place for it. I didn't want the gauges to be visible much.

The steering wheel mounted pods were just a generic pod I picked up at a local shop. They're made by Auto Meter. I took off the top steering column cover, drilled few holes for the screws and wires and that was it. Simple and looks good.

Ed, 94-01 Integra Pods fit our pillar. I'm sure a single pod should be able to fit. I know Val and my other friend used a dual and triple pod for an Integra in their SC's.

I just installed two 52mm gauges into an MVP Motorsports Supra pod... It bolted right up, but didn't fit flushly so I made a few dremel tool modifications and drilled two extra holes for mounting. I am pretty happy with the results.

Yes, I know my car is seatless.

Wow this thread does indeed continue to self rejuvenate! I can't believe it has been over three years since I posted this below. I have since built a new turbo set up and sold the one that was in my car at that time. I now have a new Gauge pod that holds 5 gauges and the Defi Link controller. It sits on top of my dash next to the stock instrument cluster. I will try to post up some pics this weekwnd.
