Anyone have secret stuff on their FCs? or hidden stuff?
 
I was thinking about how cluttered my FC(S5 TII) will get with all its guages and stuff once its done and I wanted to see if any of you have tried to make things hidden like guages, switches, electronics, etc. Pics are a must if you all do so I can copy ya'lls design!

SAFC2 kinda like how scott89t2 did his.

I bent a piece of aluminum to make a bracket and it wont budge at all. The ashtray lid also fits over the top of it as well.

When you lift up my armrest, there is a panel for the nitrous system inside that storage space there.

I have 3 gauges mounted above my cd player, a/f water temp and oil temp (old picture but gauges are still in the same place):

The sending wires go through the firewall on the passenger side right above where the carpet meets the firewall. All power/ground wires are hooked together into one single 10 gauge wire for ground and one for power. Power is ran to ignition under steering wheel and ground goes to the shifter bracket bolts under the shifter surround. This was the cleanest I could make the wiring, putting them all into a single one, works out well.

I also have my alarm brain/wiring hidden, not telling where though ;)

Then I have my safc where the AAS/side mirror adjustment buttons in the armrest used to be, fits perfectly, and the wiring for it runs under the carpet and comes out through a hole at the arm rest mounting point.

inflatablepets 08-10-04 07:19 PM

RETed 08-10-04 07:23 PM

So you're going to rip off our secret stuff if we tell you? :)

My secret weapon is my ports. Fools with riced accords don't know about rotary engine porting.

Its not so much a secret once ur in the car...but hey...idiots looking in through my window won't see it.

BTW how the hell do you post pictures with this new format?

gxlspeeder 08-10-04 08:48 PM

i found an fcon under my carpet, but i guess its supposed to be there so its not really hidden

Digi7ech 08-10-04 09:15 PM

I bought a Carbon fiber hood and hid my engine ;)

I am contemplating doing a car computer like one member posted a week ago.
I came across a 1.2ghz dell w/ 20gig for free and I don;t have any place for it ;) :D

I'd have to say that Aaron Cake's MP3 player is by far the best hidden thing i've seen on this forum to date.

look at his webpage if you don't know what i'm talking about.

Matt :)

:edit: i am a total moron. i meant the computer that guy threw into his dash center console. but aarons setup is still worth checking out. :end edit:

CoreyMH 08-10-04 10:46 PM

Scott had to cut off some of the plastic when u take the ashtray out. did u have to do the same? where'd the wiring for the SAFC go through?

alwayssideways 08-10-04 11:33 PM

lightweight flywheel. hidden amp, and 8 disk changer and 5.6 in screen

igottafc 08-10-04 11:34 PM

gummy worms in my storage compartment

flamin-roids 08-10-04 11:40 PM

I had a laptop linked up to my CD/player. I could watch DVD/s and play my MP3's. But I kept spilling soda on it. In a tear in my seat I have close to $80 in change just in case.

marlaman 08-10-04 11:41 PM

Best place to keep a bag is in the shifter boot. allthough don't keep them there for too long or the contents will dry out. i don't need that happening. :/

Yes I had to shave some of the stereo surround where it meets the ashtray. It's really easy to do with a dremel just eyeball it and test it fit. The wiring went under the passenger side footwell where the ecu is and behind my center console. I dont have a deck yet so it's just kinda hanging around right now.
