RobSheffield Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 im going to fit a 4th Defi BF guage into my car (got 3 in a pillar pod) and want to put it in the dash above the ignition and next to the airvent (i dont want to lose the vent) i was wondering if anyone else had tried this, and if so, if anyone had pictures. if im not mistaken i think Terry S had something similar?

terribleturner Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 That's were i'm thinking of installing my digi RLTC controller. Can't see it being a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 ahh, a reply forgot about the digi controller, hmm, may have to move my potential mounting position. problem is there arent many places, since steering wheel obscures the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Yeah tell me about it Spent a good hour or two once sat positioning the controller round the panels trying to decide on a convinent place. I'd put it in the glovebox but it looks so cool it'll be a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 yeah, i might go for defi above ignition, and RLTC control under it...wont leave much dash space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Rob have you considered a 52mm in the clock space? Also RLTC - fit into the dash over on the door side - frees up the left? Or in the centre glovebox itself? You can drill out the clock hole - but centre needs to be lower to miss all the fixings at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Rob, i was playing with my AEM gauge today and found it sits really nicely in a gauge holder sat blocking the drivers view of the stock tweeter. I took pictures but not sure where the camera is right now. Doesn't block the view of the road but is still in a good position to see out the corner of your eye.

Homer Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Interested to see pics of that James. I fitted the AEM gauge in place of the clock but its awkward (maybe a little dangerous) glancing at it from that position when at WOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Yeah i was playing with where to go and it sort of fitted perfect. I'll fish it out and put it up tomorrow sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 As soon as someone said about firing a load of gauges randomly into your car I thought wheres that pic of that car with the stupid amount of gauges stuffed in it, and up it popped, thats excellent that one....

terribleturner Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Here are the pictures, pretty shit quality but they give you an idea. As you can see the angles arn't great but near enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
