awesome!

anubisx99 · 11-08-2009, 04:43 PM

ok, for the install we'll be making a DYI and we'll also include it with the pod, video will be up soon..

kustom play · 11-08-2009, 04:56 PM

so how does it attach? by those 2 big bolts on each side?

would of been cool if you lowered it so it fit around the steer wheel plastic so the door could open

bobselectric · 11-08-2009, 05:00 PM

meh- looks really bulky, and I wouldn't want to lose the glove box

thats one option on how to install it, or you can hot glue the pod to the door

you can still use the box, the door does not open all the way but can still storage stuff there.

kustom play · 11-08-2009, 05:22 PM

hot glue would be the best i guess

the bolts make it look cheap

Can you fire up the car and drive it around so we can see this in action?

Gideon · 11-08-2009, 06:28 PM

Ugh, it looks so good. (I'm annoyed because the TRD gauges by Defi are so expensive. ;_; )

FYI I believe even the factory pod installs with bolts. Four of them IIRC.

anubisx99 · 11-08-2009, 06:30 PM

the pod will be shipped without any holes, that way for those who want to "hot glue it" they can, as far as the bolts, 1- the original (see: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...t=23584&page=2) it uses 4 instead of 2, 2- they are not that big once it's all together and 3- this is our first model as we go I'm sure better ideas on how to install it will come out, also as far as still be able to use the compartment, you can, you can install the pod as low as touching the steering column, the lower it goes the more the door will open, it's that simple....

next question...

yes, we'll make a video for the install (just as before), we'll have the tach installed, as far as the other gauges there's a few things to keep in mind:

1-depending on the user gauges may be different
2-installs are also different by the user, one may installed different than others
3-the pod function is only to give the user the placement for whatever gauges they need/want, VAC, TEMP, PRESSURE etc...

for these many variables the gauges that are there are just for you to have a good idea of the final look, also AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT:

different gauges/tach brand have different depth so, the pod was build to hold certain max depth anymore than that and you'll have to "cut" the door to fit them, in the install pics/videos we'll go over everything...

next question...

+1

losing the glove box would be something I wouldnt do considering I use the toll 4 times a day

SilverBack · 11-08-2009, 10:47 PM

+2. This showed much promise, but I'm not too crazy about that size blocking the door and having to cut into it for the center gauge. Originally I was thinking you were building an exact replica of the one in the pics I posted in the initial thread. Sorry guys, have to pass on this (at least until it's redone)

kustom play · 11-08-2009, 11:17 PM

theres something about it that doesnt look as slick as the TRD one

maybe because the TRD one is smaller and thinner? hmmmmm

gmodder · 11-09-2009, 12:11 AM

I have to agree...It just seems out of place to me...Wish you could make it smaller somehow...
