I did this it's not hard just timely and intensive.Just go by whatever pics you can find, and do ALOT of test fitting.Take your time,you will not get this done over the weekend unless thats all you do besides sleep.

My interior how-to section has some links to pages that show how to do it and where things go.

Too those of you who have done this, is it holding up good? The wiring, connections, looks, paint, etc.... How do you like where the controls are now, ease of use, and stuff of the like? Any kinds of problems? Also what gauges did you put in the dash?(boost, turbo timer, ????).

Thanks Gun

Great site Viper! I was trying to download your temp gauge linearization and it gave me the "page not responding" crap.Any suggestions? My temp gauge has to be off because it is reading a bit above half and I know that temps are fine.i am not even getting any coolant bubbling after a hard runs. Its been like that since I got it. I had a third gen before this one and it never read over half and that care seemed to be noticeably hotter than this one..The first one was basically stock. This one has dp,catback,intake.should run a bit cooler.dont you think??Let me know.Thanks!!G.....P.S. Car has never overheated...57000 miles..

I just checked the link and its good, so possibly something weird was going on with the site at the time - might want to try again. The stock temp gauges seem to be just slightly above worthless when they're not modified. They're either full cold, somewhere around the middle, or full hot - and once they go to full hot, you're screwed

Where would you put them? On the FD, once the ashtray is removed, there is plenty of room b/c of the width of the center console, which then opens up more dash room for more guages. But the FC interior is a lot different in the center cosole makeup, and I just don't see how possible it would be.

Yeah I would also like to know for the FC. For people like me with an aftermarket radio/cd player, usually there is a spare bay there where the stock one was. This would be an awesome place to put the controls.
