I haven't been able to locate a full pillar Din.

You may want to contact Lotek at http://www.gaugepods.com/ Maybe they have or can make one for the SC.

I would never buy products from the above link. Lo-Tek have cheap qaulity pods. If you are looking for cheap qaulity, be my guest. I had a Lo-Tek pod for my Cobra, it sucks.... never again.

To each their own.

I've owned three of their pods, mustang, dsm, and supra. Never had an issue.
What I can't stand are the small sectional auto meter ones.

some extra gauges can be very helpful.

DIN: I wanted to go A-pillar but it looked a little cluttered.
I took off the handle (on the A-pillar) and looks like you can turn the clips(on the car side) and take the clips from then handle(it will be useless after this) and put the clips on the Gauge pod and kinda clip it on. so you can remove it if you want at a later date.

As for one. I'm not turbo but just bought

Equipment: Greddy electronic EGT 60mm black face Peak Hold.
reason: I am going to lean out the engine with S-AFC and want to make sure that my engine won't reach ciritical temperature. If it does I know to shut it down before it can damage the engine.

Equipment: Apex-I electronic 60mm black face Air Fuel meter:
reason: same thing as above but easier to read it from the meter than the S-AFC screen

Euqipment most likely not necessary on sc400's
Boost gauge - if anything vaccumm gauge
60mm clock - already have one no?
60mm compass - no rally racing in my SC
gigantic shiftlight with Tach - can I say automatic?

top 2 helpfull
bottom 4 rice.

You could do the blitz gauges with the suction cups that stick to the windshield. A little pricey but the way I am going this fall with the swap.

ummm....yeah i think the a pillar pod looks tacky. go with the blitz guages that have suction cups. much cleaner look i think. but that is if u got the $$ to spend.
