Default Defi Sti Gauges in Carbon Pod on dash



As above for reference Gauges were 60mm Turbo, oil pressure and oil temp fitted left to right.

The pod was manufactured by Kakumei.

It has fixing lock lugs already made on the carbon lid in manufacture. Its the same as the fitting coming out. It had five push fit lugs if my memory serves me, the pod is a very neat fit, and the lugs very snug tight fit as well.

The standard alarm light was fitted to the rear of the pod which was on the display of original pod, on hindsight maybe to the front would have been better.

Its a german din fitting, absolute pig to fit, a ground all the rear casing to nout to get it to fit including the grey trim as the Unit is bigger than original hole, it still portudes a few mm. Must be the picture angle but believe me its nearly flush but the unit is deeper, and its surround is larger than an my old alpine, though it looks slightly squint in picture, an optical illusion or the angle or shadow a shot the pic at.

Oh for Jap made unit they do fit nice and easy as I fitted a Alpine prior as there standard size and fit neatly easy peasy stuff, but dont sound as good.

Consider myself now shot

Yep, I'm after those but in BF.

P.S. The Nakamichi would sound better still..... and fit

Don't know whether to go for the white or amber ones, as I'd like to get hold of the JDM STI instruments that are BF and amber (that the amber BF Defi gauges were modelled on funnily enough) in the future. Have no idea where to get it from though...
