wow this is an old thread. time to bring out the old pics then!

 

swing

 

Let my thread Rest in Peace!!! j/k...

 

LoL. Well people keep on bringing up sleeper guage locations, and stealth and stuff, so I bring up for thread.

 

Pritos - Do you have any pictures of your a/f rear mirror install while the car's running, meaning with the gauge illuminated? How much do the lights interfear with your rear view, did you dim the lights with a resistor or add a toggle switch or something?

Here's my Doug's bezel with z-series autometer's (f/p not plugged in), looks stock... but not very sleeper:

 

To the guys with the mirror install...PM me. I want to ask a few questions.

 

Does anyone remember the post of a guy with a turbo type R and the custom guages that were on his dash underneath the passenger air bag lid?? It was custom made by that guys buddy who was an electrical engineer and created a worm that sensed when the car was on and would open up when the car was started. That some some sleeper good stuff and I want to do mine that way.

 

Finally a use for them utterly useless 6th gen Civic cupholders! I hate them damn things!

 

I guess that you have never seen how bad the cup holders were in the 5g huh?

 

dude thats ****** nice!

good job man .. props!

 

The 5th gen ones break if you fart to hard. Pieces of crap.

 

 

Whoa its back from the DEAD!

Here is a video I usually link to when I show those pics. I"ll probably reach my bandwidth limit in a day so get it while its hot.

Vid quality sucks and the file is huge for such a small vid. But my pc vid editing software is really bad.

Cool stuff. One of my buddies has a single pod for his boost gauge that has suction cups on the top. So when he takes it off of his window (like a radar detector) he can do whatever with it.

 

sorry im poor and cant afford another gauge

this is in a CRX where the heater vents above the radio. just dont turn on the heat

 

what type of work is done to that lude? it's fresh from what i can see..

 

 

I've been wondering about something. Obviously its vital to be able to view the gauges while driving...Has anyone fabricated a shield or face to hide their gauges when not in use. Something simple, but I haven't seen it yet. Hence sleeper.

 

better late than never...made this.

 

looks cool, can you take a picture farther back so i can get a beter perspective of their position in the car?

 

heres my bezel i got off of ebay .

 

What is the point of putting gauges in the glove box where you can't even see them? I have a hard enough time monitoring all of my gauges and they are all right around me, let alone looking at them across and down in a glove box while accelerating.

Unless its a show car, put the gauges somewhere that you can use them or don't waste your money. Profecs, hondata, stuff that you don't need to touch is fine, but even my profec I want access to for Overtake!

you can pretty much say that about everyone here with their gauges in the glove box or under the radio or in little slots and trays etcc. my gauges at least have angle rings in em so they face towards me when im driving.

 

What good do the gauges do in the glove box/ I mean besides hide them from theives...I'm not flaming,but how are you going to drive and look over at the glovebox?? Just wondering...

 

Look at the topic " "Sleeper gauge locations"
