Help??? A-Pillar Pod for 92 Touring Wagon

Post by NuclearBacon »

Yes I've searched! High and low, but this is a pretty simple cut and dry, yes or no question...

Im recieving a 2002 WRX 3 Gauge A-Pillar Pod for basically free.

Will this fit in my 92 touring wagon? or should i go find an impreza pillar pod.

thank you!!!!
Luigi

edit: ive seen the CRX one, and it'd be nice to have the full pillar, but i understand our seatbelts pose a possible problem.... and this one is free! if i can find out wether to get another kind, i can order it and have it here ready for when i get the gauges

WOW. the CRX one fits almost PERFECTLY. the amount of the material curves around the a-pillar, but stops just shy of the slot for the seat-belt. i will be putting my gauges in soon. NEAT!!!!!

...with pics as soon as its done

cuz i couldnt remember exactly and it was pertinent info to add to the thread. now when someone searches for info on the a pillar pods all the correct info will be in this thread too.

plus i didnt have a turbo car back then so i didnt file that nugget of info away for later use.

If more people searched there would be less threads like this though :)

excuse me, i searched.... and read EVERY POST on the subject.

I found a lot of blind corners and NO DEFINITIVE answers. hence the reason for me making my OWN post. To give a DEFINITIVE answer. But thats ok, use the space to gripe about the search function instead of just using the time to ANSWER the question. now someone WILL search, and find an answer besides a bunch of links linking to other links with NO answers.

if you'll notice at the beginning, with over 100 views, i just had to answer my OWN questions.... i understand the answer might not have been discovered, or the people who had the answer might not have read this post. but complain away.

and by the way Greg , its from an 89, 90, 91 CRX/civic

I am all for answering questions, it's just unfortunate to now see threads made that ask questions that have already been answered because they are what slow new people down when they search for something. Once you receive your gauge pods and install them, take a few pics and make a new thread for your install. After that, link to it in your original post this thread. It would help a lot of people out.
