As in the ones that skyline owners and the like often have ?

universal pods are ten a penny - you'd have to offer a custom service of people sending in their a pillar trim and making GRP pods to suit.

anything else looks a little bolted on ( I know mine do )

Pod? For what? I am desperatley trying to think what for? Alien pods? Ipods? Pod-dington Peas?

Pods are for gauges to tell you when your about to blow up your engine

yea pods for gauges sorry for not explaining right, lol, i will be turboing my car eventually so i would like a pod for the boost and oil pressure gauges, the universal pods look sh!t as they just attach on top of the a pillar, where i want to make my look like a standard part, like in the pic above, so wanted to cut up some spare a pillars ive got for my fiesta and use them as a template and use resin on them or something like that, i think i saw i guide on here to do the tweeters on the a pillar, cant find the guide no more, but i could do something like the way he did the tweeter one,

cheers

whilst i hate to be oveerly critical, take whatever money you are planning on spending turboing a fiesta, (together with the ludicrous amount it will cost in insurance) and just buy a better car to begin with.

It would cost less than you think

and besides , tuning cars is fun. I enjoy upsetting M3 owners with a rusty 15 yr old Datsun

if you are going to get into tuning , then you have to start somewhere.

Yes its a skooby but i just lifted it off google images so its probably a yank skoob.

They don't come in LHD, no. Nissan never made a LHD Skyline - that R34GTR has had some guys go at it with a lump hammer and a grinder and various other tools and they have manually converted it to LHD. Impressive job too - must have been alot of work!

i can get all the stuff done to it fairly cheap, and i like my fiesta plus i will be doing all the work myself, so all the labour costs wont be there, all i will need to pay for is for it to be set up at a tuners.

[Moby-Dick]

mind you a good setup isn't cheap as I'm finding out

[mcmiller]

sounds kinda interesting how do you go about tuning your car, I'd be interested to know which fiesta you have and what your planning on doing blade
