I moved the clock from the top of the dash to the stupid cubby hole. It's red so I can't read it at all in the daytime. Plus down the road I can put a wideband 02 in the old clock spot. I just took some sheet aluminum, 50 grit sandpaper, and wiped it horizontally to look like brushed aluminum then cut a hole for the clock in it. The old clock hole is covered with black vinyl. The hardest part was splitting the hazard and clock wires then working it down behind the hu and hvac. Figured I could come up with a better mounting solution for it eventually. The real test comes tomorrow to see if I can see it in the daytime.

But this also could work for an a/f and egt gauge setup. I'll end up doing some more brushed aluminum for that and try to squeeze a small wb 02 down there, too. I'm just so damn tired of that stupid cubby.

 

hmm. seems like you're the first. now what are you going to put on the original clock location.

 

Right now it's just a piece of black vinyl. I figured eventually I could put a wideband 02 display up there to maintain a good line of sight on it. Just kind of got bored and am waiting on parts to come in to keep me busy while my gf is gone haha.

 

Hahaha woah AZN she's actually visiting back home in Seattle. Weird.

 

I've also thought about putting one of those tube LED shift lights behind a tinted piece of glass in the old clock spot so I can be a bum and not look at the tach when I'm driving. Plus I can never hear my engine over my music. http://www.raptorperformance.com/

 

Actually here's a cheaper one: http://www.harlan-engineering.com/st...hiftlight.html

 

that would be a good idea

 

Actually that'd be a great place for a turbo timer like a Blitz FATT.

 

Yeah it's a good idea for you two, more or less wishful thinking for me hahaha. I maybe could fool some people into thinking it was an air filter controller or something.

There's really a lot of space behind that little clock opening once you take it out. The possibilities are pretty vast for it.

 

looks good man. Very original

 

I put my high end head unit in the extra din slot so I have 2 HUs one or everyday driving and one for weekend cruising..LOL
