i was thinking of putting it in the ashtray since i dont us it anyway. But because i have the hks type 1, i dont think i will be able to make it fit and still have the flip up lid.

Easy. Pull off your AC knobs and remove the brass colored screws. Unscrew the bezel screws around the instrument cluster (the right edge holds the left end of the dash trim in place). Both panels unclip from the dash. Be firm to pull them off but smooth and gentle. As shown, you may have to remove part of the bracket behind the clock.

Super glue, ABS plastic, and velcro. Pics tell the tale

Good luck!

A few of you have PM'd me with requests of a write up on how to put the turbo timer in the ash tray. I added some instructions and have a pretty good set of pictures showing how I did it. Can only post the pics in one thread so here it is:

First page shows the finished product....further pages have pics and details of how to make it.
