Robski Member 64 Member For: 15y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 04/01/11 09:16 AM Share Posted 04/01/11 09:16 AM Hi guys and gals,I am looking for a 2 gauge pod for the dash (F6 style)!! Not after the gauges but just the pod. I know SS Inductions do one but it has screws that hold it in and I want the factory look (SMOOOOOOTH).I have been looking for weeks now and just can't find them anywhere. And even more frustrating is that I keep coming back to the same ones eventually (witht the screws) I have also heard that you can't get the pod from Ford without owning an F6, is that true??? I have heard that you have to provide them with VIN and Rego and all that stuff.Does anyone have any information on this that could help me?? There is currently a genuine pod with gauges on ebay for $450, but I only want the pod!!!PLEASE HELP Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72491-dash-mount-gauge-pod/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauges are glowshift from the USA, 7 interchangable colours but I find I only use one anyway.Pod - $150Gauges - $120Install - $160heres a pic.

Robski Member 64 Member For: 15y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 05/01/11 01:53 AM Author Share Posted 05/01/11 01:53 AM Just called my local Ford dealership and IT IS TRUE!!! If you don't have a Typhoon or GT then you can not buy the FPV gauge pod. They require you to give them VIN, Rego and Milage off the car, before they can even place the order (FPV rules). This is so people can't mock their cars up to look like the Typhoon or GT (well that is what the dealership said).HOW POX IS THAT!!!!I don't want mine to look like a Typhoon or GT, instead of spending the money doing an XR6T up to look like one I could probably go out and buy one and still have some cash to put into the engine!!!Thumbs up for good business FPV Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72491-dash-mount-gauge-pod/#findComment-1069194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the bits are separate thou so I didnt bother with the bezels or gauges, gonna run defi ones instead.

Tockley Member 51 Member For: 16y 8m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 05/01/11 03:31 AM Share Posted 05/01/11 03:31 AM (edited) Did everyone install their pod/gauges themselves?Or get a workshop to do it - if so, how much did it cost you?I don't think I have quite the capacity to do it all myself...
