    Tired of your boring ash tray?

    Then put your greddy profec b spec II in there. It's a bitch to do, as it took me 2 1/2 ash trays, and better yet the corner chipped off while I wasn't even cutting near the area. Freak accident. I'll seal that up better and repaint it, but it definitely looks good there (and the crack isn't noticeable from drivers and passenger view).

    I would fix that Automatic problem before the ash tray, lol. But then again, everyone has their own flavors.

    Really? I have not seen many people mod the ash tray for much, but then again i've only been in the community for 2 years. I've seen the turbo timer on the spring, but don't see many people attempt to cut the ash trays. I can see why people don't touch these ash trays though as they suck!

    that is BADASS! nice setup.

    he gives me shit all the time about the money i spend on my car but he simply doenst understand what type of "high" you get from watching a stock car transform into something alive with as much emotion and feelings as any human.

    Hey i got one kinda related.... Got a system in your car??? With a bass nob?? Want to hide the bass nob so it can't be seen? Well mount it behind where cig lighter goes and take the actually coil off cig light and super glue to bass nob.... Now your cig lighter is your bass nob :-D

    ^ That's what I was talking about. I like that idea, but I'd prefer having my spec 2 in the ash tray where it's visible at all times considering it's my only boost gauge right now. I would just throw the turbo timer in the glove box or center console if I ever choose to get one (doubtful, I just sit and leave the car running for 30 secs myself lol)

    But I did get paint matched for my tan interior at home depot tonight and will hopefully make the ash tray look brand new tomorrow.

    so you do a pull, then check peak boost? no way you can see it while driving.

    You can see it while driving. It's just as unsafe as staring at any of your other gauges at WOT. I have a three pillar gauge mount and I can see the profec just as well as the wideband located infront of my face.

    Yeah, on mine I just notched the back out of it and stuffed the E fan controller there. Makes for easy adjustments.

    yeaaah, there is definitely no way thats anywhere near as visible as a gauge even at the radio's height. For you to compare it to a-pillars? riiight.

    this thread needs more SBC-icolor…mmmm
