I went into the search but none of the pics work anymore....Please post some pics of some good install locations. Thanks guys.

 

YES it's difficult to make it fit like this. it took me a while to figure it out and it's quite nerve racking!

good luck!

 

I dont know if I'll post mine like yours. I wanna be able to see the meter when I'm driving.

 

Mine is on the steering column.

 

well........you shouldent be watching at the dispay while driving anyway......about 98% of the time i leave it inside the comartment. i hardly ever take it out to "look" at it. only to adjust it........

 

 

Dustin:

I like the way you did yours. How did you run the wiring? Was it a clean install? I want to be able to hide as mich of the wiring as I can.

 

my vafc is where the ash tray was

 

The install was entirely clean. It looked like it was meant to be there (I no longer have a V-AFC). I mounted it by modifying the Apex supplied bracket slightly with my dremel, and then drilling 3 holes in it and bolting it to the plastic cover over the rearview mirror bolts. I ran the wiring under the edge of the headboard and down the passenger a-pillar directly to the ECU. The wiring is perfect length.

is the peice sturdy there...it looks like when ever you put down your visor is bumps it...what about when pushing the buttons?? does it shimmy a lot or is it a good hold??

 

It held strong, the bracket supplied by apexi is pretty sturdy, and it was BOLTED to the car.

Actually, as long as you are careful pulling down the visors they do not hit really. The only issue is if you want to flip the visor to the left to block the sun out the side window, and then all you have to do is pull the v-afc down about 1/4" since it pivots.

i mounted mine in front of the ashtray. Sorry the pic is kinda big [img] file:///C:/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/atl%20imp%20me%206.jpg [/img]

 

To post a picture friend, you need to upload it to certain webspace areas... then link it from there... You have the idea, but it has to ALREADY be on the inet. Good luck!

 

cant wait to install mine It will be the cleanest yet I would say where i am getting it installed but then there will be 30 other peepz with it just like that by the time i install mine. i will post pics when I install it.

 

Hopefully this'll work:

I used velcro on the face of the ashtray and the back of the VAFC and then set it on the cup holder.

I have since connectd the bracket to the ashtray so that it doesn't slide around on the cup holder like before. And I can angle the VAFC so I can glance at it really quick.

 

okay...to those who have vtec controllers....

was there any difference in power? like track times
did you notice any difference?
from some people i heard that vtec controller does anything

Really?!

I use it all the time to record/playback using peak mode, as well as using the realtime rpms at the track.

Whoops, wrong forum

mine was exactly like yours. i used two pieces of plexiglass, one behind the unit, the other i cut and made 'shelving' inside the compartment. i was able to slide it in and out, and had a velcro strip to hold it when out..

worked great. kept it in normally, and theives cant see it. (so instead they took my whole car. )

 

screw it, i tried to fix a link but it didnt work oh well

people who have a vtec...does it make a big difference?

what are the times on the track or something?
do you guys feel the car any faster then before?
give me some feedback here....

 

usually this wont help if your car has stock internals. IF you add anything that requires more or less fuel/air, or the adjustment of VTEC, then get one of these. If youre getting some tuning done, either get a reprogrammed ecu or one of these.

 

 

I finally installed mine. I put it on the Autometer gauge bezel, and its in between my 2" voltmeter and water temp gauges. It kinda blocks my factory speedometer/tachometer a little bit, but it only blocks the lower numbers.... It looks real nice.
