Where you mounting these at? Pillar or dash?

 

Pillar. I got a triple guage pillar pod en route. I don't like the dash mount. I like a clean double din look

 

Whaaa? Really?
I wish I had a dash mount instead of a pillar mount.
Dont like my pillar mount so much.
Maybe its just because I dont like the specific pillar mount that I have.

 

This one isnt too bad. It's color match to interior

 

I just want a clean double din look in the middle. I don't like too much going on in that area lol

 

Huh
Mine is also color matched to the interior
I could honestly say I feel like my pillar gauge could be a lot better
I didnt want to clutter my center console with gauges either and I so I did the double din conversion and Im more than happy with the results
I would want to see how the center mount gauge pod is like
The one that goes on your dashboard
If that doesnt work out
I would settle for a better pillar gauge pod

As for installing your gauges
I forgot where I tapped in for power
All I remember is running the cables through the passenger side of the engine bay

 

For power just use a fuse jumper and jump a fuse that is switched aux power... No need to cut any wires etc

Anyone got any ideas how how to disengage the TOB for the evo x clutch job? the two screw driver trick isnt working and i think i crushed one side of the ring. any help would be appreciated.

 

what's up guy! it's been forever since i logged on......just been lurking around to see what **** you guys been talking about. >.>

 

Not sure if its the same concept as the 8s...was the fork in the right position and did you try it w/someone popping the collar on the top n also you trying to work it on the bottom? If nothing else work, we've removed the individual bolts from the pressure plate to flywheel to pull it w/ the tranny then cut the TOB off....sorry if its totally diff on the Xs, good luck!

 

Same thing happened to me on my last clutch job. The TOB was stuck in the ring clip thing and that flimsy spring in between the clutch and TOB got mangled while I was trying to use the screwdriver to pop it out. I ended up unbolting the clutch from behind the flywheel then cutting the friction plate out with a dremel.

 

Oh and dammit, I forgot about Friday! Car was down anyway. I replaced my head gasket and head studs. Got it done around 8pm last night, cause I had to help a friend move on Saturday. Dennis help me tune!

 

What time you get out on Wednesday? lets tune w/ an older map, non tephra and see how much power you can make.... its got 300 load cells and patched for omni and egr delete... let me know.

 

Sounds good. I can probably dig out at around 3:30 - 4ish. You still got my number?
