KaoriFan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi, Hope someone can help. tomorrow my EDFC unit arrives ready for install. just wondering if someone has any photos showing their install inside the car, and where is it positioned for use when driving. Not sure where to locate it so it is easy to reach when needed. Any help really appreciated, thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Mine's inside the centre glovebox thing, with the RLTC adjuster. How often would you need to change it whilst driving? You might be over-estimating how useful it actually is. It's just a gimmick really. I almost never change mine. I certainly wouldn't want it on display all the time.

hogmaw Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Contrary to the above post, I use my adjuster each time I go out, usually soft for getting out from where I live (town) and medium-hard when I reach the motorway or dual carriageway. Adjuster is on driver side of the centre console, next to where the seat belt goes in. I'll post a pic tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jake, down here in Sussex the roads are dreadful, recessed rain covers, badly patched surfaces, so many bumps - a nightmare. You have to drive the other side of Bexhill or Hastings to get to any good roads where the normal suspension feels good. didn't help when some guy in a Skyline came towards me on my half of the road and forced me into a recessed drain cover and killed my suspension :| Contrary to the above post, I use my adjuster each time I go out, usually soft for getting out from where I live (town) and medium-hard when I reach the motorway or dual carriageway. Adjuster is on driver side of the centre console, next to where the seat belt goes in. I'll post a pic tomorrow Hi Gerald, thanks for the the reply, appreciate it. I think it will be used same as you, in town on the bad roads - soft, then on the good roads set to a more hard setting. Thanks for the pic, look forward to it ta dar! http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9839/imgp1289sizeci7.jpg Hi Daman, thanks for the photo, if only i had the space to have it fitted thatway, but still need 2 Din slots, for DVD setup. btw, what colour pain code is your dash, i like that colour and am getting mine repainted in a couple of weeks? Cheers guys for all your help, appreciate it ja ne Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaoriFan Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Its toyota 199 silver Thanks Daman, for the info, looks nice in 199, from the photo not as bright as the silver dash panels you normally see when painted. looks like a choice between 199, graphite and gunmetal now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Thanks Jody - I was hoping you wouldn't say that. I've tapped into the clock for either AEM UEGO or Defi - can't remember which. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaoriFan Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Had the car back since last week, and have the EDFC installed atm between the drivers seat and centre console. When i get my car worked on for the dash conversion maybe will think of having it installed in the dash somewhere, liking the looks of the install Tee from China has. Wondering if their is enough space in the right hand side of the dash to install both EDFC and RLTC(if i ever needed it), as well as space for switches for front fog lamps. I find EDFC is a good addition to my setup. ja ne Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
