Go to any junkyard in the area and buy a stock mitsubishi radio. Rip it apart and have the face mounted on a panel. When its race time pull it off hing it open etc. The afc can be mounted there plus 4 gauges. Only problem the radio will have to be mounted in the glovebox or under a seat unless you buy a big baller type with the face plate that mounts anywhere and the brains go else where. Alpine sells these. Interior will look bone stock. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif
Use some of that change for the vaccum at the car wash... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Heckert, I removed the stock hvac controls and kept the blower switch, added like a foot of wires to it, and adapted (jb welded)it into the lower hvac controls. The gauges are installed in a flat piece of sheetmetal and angled toward the drivers side.
AlphaMale, the hvac control im using is from a 99-03 Galant, which is the same as 00-05 eclipses and some 02-05 monteros.
Guys if you want more details I can dissassemble the whole thing and take pictures so you can have an "insider" view of it. thanks!!
That would be really cool to have in the how to section if you could find the time. I really like it a lot.

I've got my wideband unit in the flip pocket /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Powerplay has 2 gauges mounted under the tray with all the coins in it (above).

Here's what I've done...
This houses my EGT and Wideband /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
2g deck???
The deck is actually mounted from the side with only 2 screws...and yes, I know it's an old ass deck /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif And the S-AFC is just mounted with magnet tape /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I just have to say that I am impressed with the solution gtluke and mrmitsu have of hiding the "good" stereo and gages behind the oem stereo. Nice idea.

My fav was Gabor's car - he had gauges behind his center vents and when the vents are close you couldn't see them....clean install.
Ive got one of paulos speaker pods and the gauges are wire with weather tight plugs.i just pull the pull off and disconnect the gauges and put the speaker cover on.i also a digital din gauge things which keeps my car low profile.

Can you explain this to me, not H8'n just want to find all the sleeper tricks I can. I have the same plan to fit a couple of gauges, SAFCII and my stero behind the factory radio but mine came with a cd player so if anyone has the faceplate or a whole stock tape deck then shoot me a PM.
