The thing is i want to be able to easily remove the pod if i need to, i have my gps and xm antenna down there and in the event that i need to remove a gauge or something. If i use 3m im gunna leave shmeg behind when i pull up the pod .

FYI i am not using my speaker grill if thats what you were thinking

laythor

small black screws. keep the spacing even and it would look decent

I would definately do more than velcro it. If you're in an accident, your gauges will mess your face up!

Ooo very good point. Screws are good but I don't have anything underneath the pod

Nice gauges! I'm still not done installing mine... getting close though, should have it done Sunday.

Question. Can I tap the gauges wires to the radio harness? The wires are pretty damn short.

Edit: eff it, I will go to pick up some wires and an add a fuse

Aipex8

iTrader: (1)

I extended all my wires. Red to add-a-fuse (room fuse), orange to the glovebox light (which I chose because it doesn't dim, white to the yellow cig lighter wire, and black to black cig lighter wire.

Gotcha, did the same thanks for the tip. Wiring is all set except I am an idiot and bought the wrong add a fuse (the large fuse kind). Back to the store i go

Got my add a circuit. Question, what size fuses should I be adding?

Aipex8

iTrader: (1)

Put a 15 in the B slot for "room" and a 5 in the A slot.

^^ Perfect, thanks. Any suggestions for the orange wire down in the drivers fuse box? I have everything else wired up and tested the gauges and was able to get the "opening ceremony", just need a good place for the acc wire. I have 3 add a circuits. I have red on ROOM, White on Cig Lighter, Black wrapped around some bracket under the steering column. I routed all my wires and bundled them down there so unfortunately i cant use the glove box or anything.

First boot... just gotta set up orange wire and i should be good to start sender wiring

paimon.soror

iTrader: (15)

Firewall routing is all set, now just the senders which I will have to do tomorrow. I see what you mean now Aipex about wiring to the glove box since it doesn't dim with the dimmer. I will have to just route my orange in there at some point.

Looks really good!! How did you manage to fasten it onto your dash?? Now waitin for Aipex8's install, then I'll decide which I should do

Combo of 3m outdoor (heavy duty) tape and some industry strength velcro. I will take detail pics tomorrow . I will also try and make a stencil for the lotek pod for others

I guess I might be the only one that thinks it looks off. It's angled too high, but if you are tall I guess it's okay.

Good effort on the cutting and fitting, but take it a step further and line up the sides to the rest of the dash. It would make it a lot cleaner.

paimon.soror

iTrader: (15)

Once I get the final mount it should all be flush against the dash. As far as height goes. I can see the gauges fine from where I sit so I don't know. Hopefully once I get some good daytime shots you guys can see the fitment

Water temp hooked up and working ... reading about 160F driving around town with the outside temp of 28. Stops at red lights get about 180

I promise to get better videos, these were just some test shots. Oil Press left, water right.

BTW getting that god damn sender in the oil pressure spot on the S2 motor is one hell of a task. The sender's from prosport come with the crud on the threads to seal it up nice when you screw it in (same garbage that is on the stock plug). Being that it is in a rediculous spot, and that you needed like 15ft/lb of freaking force (not accurate) I was only able to get it in half way. I checked for leaks though so i think it will be fine the way it is.

Driving to work today was promising, i think the readings are coming out fine. I get a range of 80-130psi oil street driving while highway gives about 80-90. Temps on highway today were 135ish @ 23F outside, while street was more around 160
