Thanks Paul, more to come, doing mostly reliability/monitoring and suspension mods this winter. Hoping to go to a white face cluster with 320 kmh speedo too soon, but sadly not in the budget for this year. Got the white face Defi's too. I'll try the trick with the H cut, seems like the way to go. What have you got planned?

[cortexx]

Hey colin , nice pile'o'parts - im in the process of parts accumulation myself Youhave the same gauges as i had last winter to install I chose the white face ones because eventually i want the 320klmh nismo cluster , the standard cluster wraps the speedo needle too fast now

I cut the H pattern into my dash with an xacto knife and then drilled through the hard undershell with a 1/2 inch drill , if you remove the pod the H pattern can easily hide the hole as you not removing any material.

[ColinR33]

There is a thread/trick here to cut in the vinyl and not leave a mark if ever you want to remove your gauge. Cut a "H" hole and push in the flaps. Pop them back up if you remove the gauge.

I'll have to check that out, thanks for the tip.

Colin you used to get hesitation after 5k rpms? Mine just started doing this yesterday

Yeah, up around 6-7k she'd start to miss a bit. Took my coils out, cleaned them and taped up one spot and that seemed to help, but the Splitfires do make a noticeable difference.

I know, but unless I can come up with a better idea, could run them thru the vent, but will still see them, ditto if thru the defrost vent.

Face palm, really man? That would be a shame

[ColinR33]

As much as I shudder at the thought, I will probably drill a hole to run the wires up directly under the pod and keep them hidden, going to try to keep it clean as possible.

[cschepp]

After seeing that essential gauge pod in cortexx's car man does that thing ever sit nice. That's going to look excellent! How do you plan on hiding the wires though?

[ColinR33]

Well, the pron content of this thread has been seriously lacking for the last little while as I have been far too busy enjoying the car, but now I am starting to accumulate parts for my winter build:
Defi link & gauges, gauge pod, Splitfires and new coilpack harness arrived today courtesy of Adam @ Feast. Like a little kid I couldn't wait and ran out to install the Splitfires and take it for a rip. Much smoother response, feels a bit peppier, no more high rpm stumble.

Innovate MTX-L wideband

Greddy oil cooler to go along with my relocation kit (needs a good cleaning

More goodies to come!
