where do you guys think the best mount for an Apexi SAFC II is in an s4 coupe?

 

either under or above an aftermarket cd deck or in place of the ash tray

 

yea i was thinking about that but i also thought it might be cool posted up on the dash or something or somehow mounted onto an air vent

can anyone post pics of where they have theirs mounted?

 

Yeah, I put mine up on the dash for the ricer look.




if it dont work, just go show picture

 

Take out the ashtray and mount it in there, it fits perfectly.

 

 

i am going to mount mine under the right turn signal on a hinge so it can flip backwards and be out of sight .
So the car looks stock when you look through the window and does not invite thieves...

note i am going to get the black version to match the interior

and i can still see it through my MoMo steering wheel

 

****i am going to mount mine under the right turn signal ******

There's something that does not click with those words above. Those series five must be really funny. One flipper on the right side of the steering wheel for turning right, and one on the left for turning left.

 

Definately in the ash tray. I think the SAFC is made to fit in that spot. I have also seen people put it in their glove box so its not out in the open.

 

My setup






And all the other questions answered..

* Yeah thats a FD RC car on my messy worktable.

* Thats an aftermarket shiftknob

* And no, Danish GLX models did not come with A/C

 

thats beautiful

 

not a SAFC but you get the idea

 

thanks guys...those look sweet

 

i was wondering if you can give me those measurments

 

thats a sweet *** setup

 

I dont have them on paper and I really dont feel like taking it apart again.

Basicly I just removed the stock radiosupport and measured along as I went on.
Its pretty easy, get some polycarbonate/Lexan, mark the outlines and start cutting. Primed witrh pactra R/C(polycarbonate) paint and painted with cheapo flatblack

The SAFC isnt taped or anything its a snug fit(by accident) so I never worried about using the dual adhesive tape that came with it.

If I were to do it again, I would have bolted the backingplate on from behind so no screwheads are visible.

i built mine similiar to rx7 922's but i have radio on top, a/f gauge on lower left and safc on right. looks pretty good just slapped together with some 3/16" plexiglass and my safc i used the apexi bracket and stuck it to plexi using the bracket to angle the safc upward. sorry no pics no dig cam.

 

sorry that was kim's not rx7 922's original. my bad

 

hey thanks guys youve been helpful

 

Is there really any benifit to having out in open other than rice? Once you get your car tuned DONT MESS WITH IT because it has the power to blow up your engine.

 

any chance you'd sell a similar setup?

 

It's feature's aren't just for tuning it also it great for monitering things thuss a great resoan for it to be in view. you wouldn't hide away your gauges would you, are they rice??

 

Nope.

As you can see on 1SxyRXy´s pictures, our radio surrounds arent the same. All european models came with a small pocket underneath the radio. So making a surround for U.S. versions arent really that smart

Just do it yourself, its pretty straight forward
