Ox, any suggestions for the stereo to go?
depends how much you touch it, if you only ever use the dash control and use USB or hard drive instead of CD you clould fit it under the seat
or use the Ricks method and have both

I like the radio door method but the AEM gauges are quiet cumbersome and wouldn't work there, Im not sure they would fit in the position that Phil and Jay use either.

Hmm- stereo relocation under the seat could be a ballache too!

Wheres my motivation i need to find it soon or they are going to go back to the old gaffer tape on the dash!

this looks good
It is an amazing solution and they do come up from time to time on the US board.

If you can get the gauges sunk a little bit on the passenger dash panel?

You can just see my 2 gauges in the picture (not the best picture sorry) mounted in an SOS dual pod.

I have an AEM AFR gauge and a smoked boost gauge that doesn't light up until the ignition is, so people looking at it cant see what type of gauge it is (i see someone mentioned sleeper)

I clattered on for ages trying to get the audio control panel loose, after developing a mega sore neck I gave up !

SO went down the shops bought some single gauge pods, cut the swivel platform bases off them and trial fitted them to the dash -




Couple of sticky pads and I reckon that ll do me!

Then I fitted my new spoon mirror and did this -




smashed :< totally gutted
