Hitorikos Civic

[hitoriko]

yeah they ater called stepmaster (model STS26B) i still need to work out what sensors i can use since these didnt come with them and defi sensors are really expensive, im not sure where im going to mount them i was wondering if there is a pod that you can buy that would mount where the centre airvents are, i dont really want them on the top of the dash nor on the apillar but we'll see what i think up.

Yeah i went and got defi's because well i always liked them, and i want to do this car right and yeah i think the future holds an engine conversion too...

shame you not in WA. i know of a guy here who makes up guage pods to suit almost anything. i'm sure he would love to add civic to the list.
getting all the visual stuff out of the way is nice touch. least then its nice to drive around. having speed and a shitty exterior isnt as satisfying.

you do? ... can i get in on that action? lol

Yeh i wanted to get it looking decent inside and out (where possible) because you spend the time in the drivers seat not looking at the car from afar so yeah thats the way i look at it, id rather it be pleasing to my eye white driving then the clowns on the street looking at me

i think the hatch and sedan share the same cluster surround with the centre air vents if thats the case and saint wants to do the leg work i'd be keen for a pod to sit there - ive seen them in some US cars and theres even one on this site i saw ages ago

i probably wouldnt replace my airvents ... i would make an ATI style triple cluster and tuck it in the corner where the a-piller sits

i would velcro it down and cut a hole in my dash matt so that it juss sticks up out of it - that way i can run lines under the dash matt too lol

im thinking of changing my dash lights to red soon as well ... than ill get the other maching SAAS gauges - already got vacuum - so OIL TEMP / OIL PRESS / WATER TEMP - and set them to red as well

[hitoriko]

yeah thats a good idea actually the triple pod

PS My Defi's are green so im not sure if i should go green lights in my cluster or just a nice bright white

[TheSaint]

stick to white =)

my SAAS can be changed from red, blue, green and white - but its mechanical ... so it whirs and buzzes at different revs =/

I would be happy with losing my centre vent. I actually dont know what it does so no troubles blocking it off. lol.

ah your talking about the one up top on the dash? yeah thats where i would put mine - like in the pic of the subaru i posted

either that or under the a-piller =)

Yeah the centre of the dash. Like the subaru or a R34 skyline. Whats the vent actually do anyways????
Not a fan of the a pillar guages. Very rice... im trying to avoid that.

[TheSaint]

yeah i would have it under the A-pillar ... not ON the A-pillar ... like the triple gauge ... but on the driver side

another good idea is the 'frog' style gauge holders
