Default New gauge set up and camara mount

I moved my gauges from the ash tray into the air vents. the reason for moving them was because i couldn't look at the boost gauge when getting on it. The vents still work except you can't adjust the air direction. the vents are still strong and the gauges donot move at all. the boost gauge is right in yo face now! On one of the pics you can see the empty gauge pod on the ashtray where the gauges use to be. Excuse the handicaped sign my mother was driving the car that day.




heres a free camara mount that i made from a small tripod i had laying around. it can swivel, tilt and all that. The view is pretty good i just need a good camara to take some in-car footage.

I like the camera mount, Just make sure you get a camera with a decent zoom, otherwise you will get the back of your head, and not much of the road

Any chance you'll be parting with your ashtray gauge pod?

so do you not have A/C? like the innovation but taking the amenities away from a car like the V kinda defeats the purpose of making it fast if you ask me.

It says in the post that the vents still work but aren't able to be moved... It looks cool, but there is NO WAY I'd sacrifice that for the gauges.. TO each their own.

I have my wideband gauge in the ashtray right now not mounted to anything...I've been looking for a better place to put it higher up w/o drilling holes anywhere. I can't sacrifice being able to point my a/c either...haha.
