homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

Just wanted to see what you guys think of my gauge pillar. The one shown is just a prototype, I know the gauges are a bit high. I have another one with them centered, I was just anxious to wrap this one and try it out. Looks stock, I was thinking of putting a turbo timer in there as well, just below the gauges.

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

looks good man. so what did you use to do it?

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

Plexigalss -2.00
1 yard black vinyl -6.00
3M adhesive spraym -free

One yard of vinyl is alot, I used the rest to patch up my roof that had tears in it.

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

that looks good man, the turbo timer would be a cool idea also.

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

yeah, definitely looks good. i definitely think a turbo timer below the gauges would be sweet.

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar

the civic center vent thing is different, I took out the whole piece and my tv fit's perfectly in there, then the cords run out the back where the heating/cooling unit was. fez didn't do as good as I did with placement.

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

That looks nice. I wanna know exactly how you did it. did you use the factory panel and just cut most of it out and lay the plexi on top? or something different? I really like that Idea opposed to my gauges hanging in the window. :P

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

Nah
This piece is all original. I'm thinking about mass producing these units, interested in carring them in product line up Steve ::)

I'm still working on them, maybe I'll do a write up. The only thing left to tackle is actually mounting it, which has become the only issue left, piece of cake.

damn sure beats mine

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

did you get like 45 hp out of the steering wheel? I notice the shift knob is at an angle, is that to help during cornering?

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

^^^^this coming from a guy with a tv in his dash.

the tv is for the bottom end power, then the remote start helps with mid range and the playstation takes over the top end where the bov finishes her off during the shift.

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

Ok, this isn't an item that would sell. This is an item that anyone can look at and duplicate. I'm just wanting to know the way you did it, so I don't have to think before I do it. ???

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

He didnt post to sell it stevemode... Hes just seeing what we think, i think that ---- looks dope and is a very nice factory looking piece, haha, way to take ur time and do it nice, i think a tt slot would be sick as well

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

LOL i like how you snuck the turbo timer on the a/c control :P
(at least i think that's a turbo timer)

that's a nice little unit you made there number and number man :P, and i second you sendin' the prototype to renr, not saying his isn't a work of art (but i'm not saying it is either :P, then again, i probably woulda done it like renr, my ass is lazy!

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

I think RENR did it for practicality. It was pretty smart of him to leave some room so he gets some air going through those vents in case he gets hot or cold :P

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

---- manG. you already hacked up the controls, atleast you could have drilled a hole for the wire ;)

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

nah MANG! the cuntrols arent messed up. the wires for the timer and afc are just coming out of the back of the dash and layed on the front. at night time i just put the timer and afc away out of view. the controls hold up the timer perfectly. lol

Re:homemade CRX gauge pillar
 

actually the steering wheel came with the car but i believe its good for atleast 50 whp, however i'm not sure because there are no stickers. tilted shift knob definetly, definetly helps during cornering it makes me feel like i am drifting
