Neil-h 29 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 Does anyone happen to know of a decent looking gauge pod for the GT86? I've been looking around for a while now and the best option i can find is the P3 vent gauge but I'd rather have analogue gauges if possible (I find they're better for spotting changes in measurments, i don't really need the accuracy/resolution of a numerical gauge).

Leeky 84 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 Block8Head gauge pods are quite popular and clip in to your dash to replace your existing air vent. I personally went with a Scangauge2 for an all in one digital gauge solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully mine has never had this issue. @Neil-h are you after gauge pods or actual guages? Your post doesn't make sense as you ask about pods but then talk about guages?

Your post doesn't make sense as you ask about pods but then talk about guages? Yeah i kinda crossed purposes slightly. Ultimately i'm looking for a complete gauge/pod setup but i can't find any decent looking gauge pods. The best looking solution i've found is the P3 vent gauge but at the same time i'm not really a fan of digital gauges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's probably not clipped in properly. Mine wasn't at first. Once they're in place properly they don't move at all. 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 This is what I have in my GT86 , although the Exhaust one has stopped working ever since the Engine Recall !! The control button next to the pod on the drivers side is for the Head Up Display.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, I've figured it's not in properly. Getting it in properly isn't the easiest though with the dash not being rigid. Tape is fine for now as I need to move the gauge elsewhere otherwise it's mostly useless with it getting too hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best way I found to do it was to remove the circular vent below (just pulls out) then reach in with one hand and push the dash up while you push the gauge pod downwards.

Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted September 29, 2020 They are Prospect R-Spec Step Range Gauges, I think Block8Head Pod for 3x 60mm Gauges, but they also sell sizes for 52mm Gauges, along with 1x and 2x Gauge Pod Units The 60mm Gauges were between £65 to £85 each, although they were slightly cheaper because I used the RX-8OC Discount Code that we have The Block8Head was £113.00 I think The Passenger Side Pod Unit was £200.00 from Fensport The whole lot came to something in the region of £800.00 including all the Sensors and Sandwich Plates fitted, but you do get what you pay for at the end of the day I find this all incredibly useful on trackdays 1 matrixprotein reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
