Well, I got done with my AC relocation project...I just have to extend the wires..Here are some pix, tell me what you guys think...I just have a question, I can't seem to put the shifter panel back into place cuz of all the wires...There are so many wires under the shifter panel now that it wouldn't go back in place..Did I do something wrong?

 

Turned out really nice!

looks amazing, i've never done the relocation so cant help you would with the wires.

 

what year RX is that from i have a 94 and had a 93 and the center console didnt look anyting like that....looks awesome by the way

 

You started another thread on this again? Extend the wiring toward the front of the car. That will move the PCB out of the way. That the only thing I can see working.

 

how the hell did you do that?

 

i like those gauges

 

DEFI BF, so nice, and expensive

 

Did you try reading the thread or just skip to the photos?

 

How the christ did you do that and make it look so good? Damn...looks factory.

 

The center console is from a 93 rx7, but I had it repainted with texture coating...

Even when I do extend the wiring, the wiring under the fan speed is still too long and it won't fit back into the stock location....Can I please get some more help?

thanks,

Sorry but i have no helpful information, but that is an amazing job that you did, howmuch would you charge for something of the sort? Just regular cd player and bin tho?

 

nice man

 

thanks guys....I can't wait to put it into my car, now I just need a short shifter(probably pettit short shifter kit) and a double din LCD(eclipse AVX, the one that has an internal 20g HD)....

I know that I'll be able to do the wiring, I just got a question which is why doesn't the shifter panel fit back into the original locaiton?

thanks,
thien phan

 

I for the life of me cannot understand how someone could do such a bloody good job and yet still need advice on wiring.

 

Very nice, it's quite tight under there even without any extra wires, only thing you could do is probably raise it up onto a platform you could use a wooden frame then texture it to give it the factory look.
Will require a bit of innovation but you've done well thus far.Not sure how it will look but it will solve your problem.

 

seriously, I really think you have just solved my gauge mount issues, I have already made my mind up, how did you do it? did you use two different consoles? please explain

 

Yeah you're gonna need two A/C panel... There use to be a website that shows how to do the relocation but it is down right now...The website shows you all the details.

 

I'm not quite sure cuz I have seen that the shifter panel directly fits after the relocation but for some reason mines doesn't...What the hell is wrong??

The problem is not the wiring, you ****. It the clearance between the console & tranny tunnel.

The further back you locate anything on the console the less clearance you will have.

IM using two fog light switches for the "fan mod" & intercooler fan. They are located in the two blank switch locations on the console (R1, no factory fogs).

I tried to move them to the two side locations that house the warning lights, but the switch with plug is too tall.

To answer your question, put some clay on your tranny tunnel & see where it's making contact. Then either beat the crap out of the sheet metal (to dent it enough to clear) or cut a section out.

 

Outstanding job! Would you or anyone else capeable of doing this job be willing to do this for others if we get you the parts?

Kinda looks like mine!!!! (or should i say Jays)

Yes, are you right, the tyranny tunnel does get in the way.....Are you sure, it's okay to dent the tyranny tunnel? So, I did make a mistake when I did the relocation cuz, it is way too far back making less clearance..

 

You don't need two A/C panels, and this is not a hard job at all. Anyone with a Dremel and some plastic filler can pull it off.

The more you move the controls towards the shifter, the more clearance you will have. I still had a little clearance issue, and I have mine really close to the shifter boot opening (pm me if you want for some pics/extra explanation).
