GI: "Pure Sex Guage Pod" - Page 3

mr2magic · 08-29-2008, 03:43 PM

Well now you have a problem because we're certainly gonna kill ya if you don't offer that version!!!!

jazzcornet · 08-29-2008, 04:01 PM

So I should cancel having the pure sex pod made since everyone is going to want something else?

You got it buddy. I'll scrap this project and keep this one for myself!

J/k

mr2magic · 08-29-2008, 04:04 PM

You started it!!

So the silver version is definately no go?? That is a pity.

I already got one guy interested for the other version though!

jazzcornet · 08-29-2008, 04:20 PM

Correct. The silver one is definately a no go, unless someone wants to make one themselves and then I'll reproduce them

Mr2insane · 08-29-2008, 05:36 PM

thats looks really good..but i wouldn't sacrifice my A/c Vents like others said...i'd rather it be molded right under the H/U ...so that you have to use an aftermarket HU

Gairloch · 08-29-2008, 05:47 PM

I like the idea of maybe fitting a vent in place of one or more of the pod holes ...

I love this idea but I don't need 3 gauges and I really want my vents.

jake1052 · 08-29-2008, 06:10 PM

i would like the pure sex, I dont have air condition anyways

PETC · 08-29-2008, 06:27 PM

I like the first one better anyways. Second one is rice-tastic IMHO.

jazzcornet · 08-29-2008, 07:07 PM

I agree. The second pod looks good but is most definately ricey as hell

Luni · 08-29-2008, 09:22 PM

Oh damn... Id buy one of those for 95 I think.

Damn that looks good.

Ive seen other cars where people delete the vents, and honestly it doesnt do much for the overall air output so much as creating a dead spot with no coverage.

It wont necessarily make your car any colder in the winter though, your other vents will just blow more air.

I think its worth it. I really dig that thing.

Maybe offer it with 2 gauges and one vent?

canadam · 08-29-2008, 09:40 PM

When could we expect these? Are they injection molded?

jazzcornet · 08-29-2008, 09:54 PM

expected date of delivery is stillyet tobe determined. this is the prelim stages of getting these things out here

Pritch · 08-29-2008, 11:36 PM

ya I'd be all over that too. no way they'll come in RHD configurations though will they?

jazzcornet · 08-29-2008, 11:44 PM

you mean like this??

it's not even remotely close to the actual pure sex guage pod, but there is currently a group buy going on for the plates. you would have to mold them in yourself

Pritch · 08-30-2008, 07:37 PM

very nice!! same price im assuming or? Do most mr2.com members have LHD?

jazzcornet · 08-30-2008, 10:43 PM

a guy is hosting a group buy for those panels for $40/ea but its just the panel. you have to do the mold yourself. his board name is panelle

OutkastxKai · 08-31-2008, 08:16 AM

Yeah your Gauge pod is cool find out if you can make them with the panels in the back of the gauges so it redirects the Air to the other vents for more air out of those if you can do that then im in.

pothiawala786 · 08-31-2008, 11:00 AM

I'm sure there would be a way to retrofit a center 52mm vent as one of the gauges, hard part would be making a nice shroud to redirect the flow to only that "gauge" and not the gauges.

jazzcornet · 08-31-2008, 12:47 PM

true statement. i'll see what i can do

pothiawala786 · 08-31-2008, 01:00 PM

Only reason I mention a center vent is because I think 3 gauges might be a little overkill, I'm definately interested in one either way, but not sure what gauges I would put, probably oil temp, pressure, and wideband A/F.

Honestly, my MR2 wasnt equipped with AC, so the only thing the center vents would be used for is heat in the colder months. Plus, with a proper block off shroud for the entire center vents, the air will be redirected to the side vents anyways, so it shouldnt be that big a deal, just shooting out an idea.

Any rough ETA on when the stock/plastic ones will be available?
