Gauges on the passenger side?

1) What additional gauges do you need ontop of the A Pillar on the driver's side?
2) How in the world would you even see them on the other side of the car?
3) How safe do you think that would actually be?

what's the point? You won't even be able to read the gauges that far. Very dumb idea

First of all, I doubt you are boosting. Secondly, why would you need 6 gauges? Please, take a minute and ask yourself why you would need 6 gauges. Thirdly, it would be pointless to put gauges on the passenger side because you won't be able to read the gauges!

I think what the man is looking for is a reasonable alternative. How about you put guages in that little slot below your radio? I've just got a useless shelf down there. I do agree that guages waaaaaaaay over there won't help very much.

importuner - there is nothing wrong with doing it "for looks," as long as you admit that's what it's for.....even the boosted maximas really have no need for more than 2 or 3 additional gauges, much less 6. If you want to do it for looks...that's just fine.

ive got a triple pod for the passenger pillar, but i just use them for change purses. nickels, dimes and quarters- respectively. i would have put another triple on the driver side, but in all seriousness- who keeps track of pennies anyway.

just get a single din and a metra kit, grab some abs plastic and a dremel. done deal. make sure you get a wideband o2 in there, cuz a/f on a 01 with bolt ons is really key to breaking 14s.

the less you move your eye around.. the better.. try keeping everything in one position or close to your center of sight..maybe mounting gauges in the ashtray or on your instrument cluster.

You should be able to find the pods pretty easily. Use Google and include right hand drive in your search. Find a shop or catalog that sells products in Japan or Europe. We aren't the only ones who modify cars. Our passenger side is their drivers side.

Put as many gauges as you like. You can also get gauge clusters to mount on the center of your dash. You may also be able to unplug and remove them when you aren't racing.

i think the clock pops off pretty easy, you can get a cluster to go in it's place.

Here, do this as well, that way with gauges on both pillars and on the center console, you can have at least 9 if ya want...
