A Pillar Guages
Has anyone out there seen a gauge mount kit that fits the "A" pillar of the xB? I am getting ready to put mine on the bottle and want a place to mount the gauges.
I'm looking for this type:

I see there are a few people out there with the kits to mount the gauages up on the dash, don't care for them much...

Autometer does sell them I am ordering mine this week. If anyone wants the stock number for the Xb autometer pillar pods they are 22683 for the 3pod and 22684 for the 4pod ones. Peace

With the quality of product that Autometer puts out, they definitely can fit 4 gauges on the pillar pod.
I have this product on my bB and it looks great. This pillar pod mount saves my sanity when it comes to saving space and keeping my interior look nice and clean.

Wow talk about overkill. There are more gauges in that thing then I had in my old Turbo AWD Eclipse.

I'd like to know how hot my engine is tunning, along with trans, oil pressures. I'd rather go to for and actually know what's going on inside my car than break down for an unknown reason. Looking good Steve!
Anybody, is Auto Meter shipping those pods yet?

Reminds me of my wife's remark:
Why do you need new wheels? The ones on it work just fine...

I definitely WANT the 4 pod. Why? Cuz i want to see how my engine is running, and not have the idiot light come on 10 seconds before it blows!
As for the overkill statement, to each his/her own. I'll need at least 4 gauges myself.
AND, Steve does take his xB on the track, and IS very clean too!

Let a 40-something former SRT-4 owner chime in here.
All those gauges in his car are fine, since it is a SHOW car, and he's sponsored by the gauge maker. However, running an xB on the track is just wrong. I don't get that at all...
And the original post that started all this, putting an xB on the bottle? LOL...that's funny. So now an xB with juice will be able to run with what, a stock Civic Si, Focus SVT, Sentra SE-R, Mini Cooper, or what?
If you want to make the car seriously fast, I'm a firm believer in "there's no replacement for displacement". I'd like to see some of these aftermarket tuners drop a V6 into the xB, or maybe a bigger 4 (2.0 twin cam) that's has a turbo or s/c. But I think it's a waste of money to put serious go-fast goodies into that tiny 1.5 motor.
No "ricer" or "ghetto" mods for me...
