Tricky-Ricky Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Just wondering where people have fitted their controllers, been thinking about the box under the stereo, but i'm wondering if it will get to hot, not very good ventilation and the heat from the stereo? also same goes for boost controllers, anyone have pics?

supragold Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Mine is here mate. I made a bracket for the display and cut a hole in the underside to the dash to fit my controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 My EDFC controller is mounted under the steering column. Boost controller (Blitz I-color) is velcroed on my dash just to the right of the stock clock location. My Defi controller is mounted on the inside top of the top glove box on the dash.

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Also been thinking about removing the traction control and spoiler switch and fitting the EDFC there, should look quite neat, also getting an I-colour and would like to sink that into the dash, but i'm running out of room, i also don't want to make things to obvious.

Sheefa Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I saw Rich's (TrickTT) the other night and that was mounted under the stereo slot iirc? Either way, it was neat and tidy and rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supragold Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Also been thinking about removing the traction control and spoiler switch and fitting the EDFC there, should look quite neat, Thats where I put my turbo timer. I have no idea where to put my RLTC. I'm running out of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burna Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Did you move your dash lighting dim switch, and the other one whatever it is?? The switch above his dimmer is the rear fogs. Hopefully Trick will put a photo up of the other side of his dash, you will see there's not a lot of room left in there now! Work of art if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 The fog light switch is a stock uk one with modified internals. As a J-spec doesn't have a 'fog light on' warning on the dash (must have one for MOT) i modified the switch so the fog light symbol on the switch lights up blue when the sidelights are on, then turns red if the fog lights are switched on. I've got an illuminated mirror switch that i made to put in next time the dash comes off. Heres the other side: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Looks damn good Rich. I have a rear fog swith mate under the dash that has an LED in it. Don't actually know if it's working though. If it is, will that suffice for the MOT, or do I actually need one on the dash itself? Is this for the front fogs as well????! Shit, looks like I've got some modifications to do..........or someone else may want to do them for the right price Supragold - Chris mounted my RLTC Digi to the left of the steering wheel column. Fits well and easy to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 You dont need a front fog light warning. The rear one only needs a warning light fitted in the car and able to be operate the switch from the drivers seat. http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_110.htm Yours should be ok.

Sheefa Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Phew. Will check it lights up tomorrow. Cheers Rich! Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I got mine installed last week, here is the unit on the left of the driving seat between me and the centre console. It fits fine, I can reach it ok and I'm not a fat ba$tard so I don't even notice it's there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
