IIRC I don't remember ever seeing an actual application specifically for S13 or S14, at least not in this country (Autometer, etc). Chances are you're going universal to get that Fast and Furious look for your car

Triple Pillar Gauge setup is not good. It blocks your line of sight when you are turning..and makes the third one too close to even see.

I'm rocking Double..and I might change it soon, taking turns on a MT. = No Bueno.

If I were you, I wouldn't do triple.

..but that's just me.

nice wheel dude!!
Those pods don't like like they block much but maybe its just the angle...

speaking of blocking... why is your radar right in front of your eyes?

Thanks Cape 240.........Those gauge dont block anything......i can see just the same with or without them.........

and as for the radar being right in front of my eyes...lol

it has saved me more then a can remember and i would recommend to anyone who like to drive fast every now and then.....to get on........and like i said...it has saved me so many times, just because it's right there where i can see it and i know the second it picks up radar.

there is no direct fit triple pillar pod made for the S13 or the S14. Autometer makes duals for both and even makes a dual for the RHD 13's and 14's if you really need that extra space.

zOMG Pictars!1

Ignore my EGT gauge, I still can't decide if I should tap #1 Runner or #4..Decisions, Decisions!
1

2

3


Clouds are cool, camera phones aren't.


anyways, they block my line of sight when I'm making a long left turn, I always have to look around em to make sure that there's nobody ahead of me or an incoming traffic.
