safc placement
 
im tired of mine being in the ashtray. anyone ever mount therse where the stereo surround vents are? if so got any pictures? and how you did it?i suck at fiberglassing so thats out of the question.

i mounted mine right on the steering column

88rxn/a 09-29-05 04:47 PM

?interesting? like it there?i think if the rest of it was filled in with somthin like from a cd mount install( the plastic), it would look nice where the vents are,

I just put mine on the dash with the mount it came with. But I'm thinking of getting one of those plates in the for sale section to mount it under the radio.

I always kept mine in the glove box and took it out only when I wanted to tune the car. I thought its appearance looked like a classic ricer interior decor, and besides some ricer might come and break into my car to steal it if it was out in the open being displayed.

Keep in mind I'm an old man and I like POS FC's, hahahahaha.

88rxn/a 09-29-05 08:59 PM

^ did you just run the wire through the back of the glove box somehow? i kinda like having it handy and on display so i can make adjustments fast. plus i like to lie to people that have no idea what it is and say some stupid comment about it!! gives me 58 hp to the wheels!!lol, joking.

SonicRaT 09-29-05 09:04 PM

Why would you need to make adjustments fast? You really only need to do them once, and it gets kind of annoying at night if it's in the open.

I feel the same way, ummm if you want to hide it and still let it be accessable then modify your ash tray to make it fit in there.

Turbo II 09-29-05 09:36 PM

I keep it out there so I can go back and see what I've been running while I'm scooting around. As far as at night it doesn't bother me at all up on the dash.

This guy is making plastic pieces that go under the radio and hold SAFC, gauges boost controlers ect pretty much anything you want.

I have my SAFC in my ashtray with black tinted plexiglass around it to fill up the gaps.
I have my AVC-R in where my vents used to be right above the stereo offset to the right. On the left side of it I have my switch for the "extra" boost mounted in the tinted plexiglass.

Looks pretty slick.

Sorry for the crappy pics....but you get the idea.

I personally like my turbo timer here instead of the bulky safc.

What is SAFC? I looked in the FAQ but it wasn't in there.
