Stereo surround modified... destined for dremel

by Mrs HollowPoint, 15-07-2021, 08:34 PM

I've nearly finished Version 2 of my centre stereo surround.

No clock again, but the new boost controller is now in there.
No centre vents, however I have matched up the the heater unit behind and made a vents out the top of the new cubby hole. Some very fine silver mesh is going in so wont look like a fugly random hole when am done.
USB into the stereo in the cubby hole.
Able to hold any phone or tablet, portriat or landscape from eg Galaxy S2 to a 10" tablet.
I have put in a permanent charger for our samsung tablets.
I tried to make a bit of a sun visor for the stereo but glare is still a problem. Never mind, it looks good.
The second stereo is in there as a dummy unit at the moment. We are buying a dvd player/pop out screen for in there.
I wired in some blue LED's into the illumination live so it comes on with the headlights.

Still in primer as the last component for the mods is a dual USB adapter to go beside the boost controller still hasnt arrived in the design that I ordered. I want a very specific one with a flat face and a chrome ring around it. Also the usbs will be able to power more hungry devices like tablets.

The whole thing will be a Gunmetal grey to titanium silver, and the interior of the cubby hole is going to be a light grey flocking.

I got around to wiring up the A-pillar 3 gauge pods aswell since theyve been relocated from the old stereo surround.
Also bought a digital volt gauge so all is matching up now.
The turbo timer was a bit loose so thats fibreglassed back in never to move again lol.

So after all this, I have to get the dremel out again and make it into a double din stereo as I have bought a new toy!

Custom A-Pillar Gauges

by Mrs HollowPoint, 14-07-2021, 07:15 PM

I will put this here rather than in the 300ZX section since I think this problem is the same for any car.

We recently bought a triple pod a pillar from Zcentre and it seems to me that the Gauge pods are REALY OVERSIZED on the one you can buy. Another thing, is that I hate fiddling around with those stupid brackets on aftermarket gauges, and never have done. My cure for this is to put it in a hole that fits the gauge in the first place and secure it by some sound proofing felt. If you do this, theyre easier to put in and take out and they dont need to fit into a housing that it massively oversized.

I have decided to make my own, much tidier replacement triple pod A-pillar.

Here is how it is now...

Comparison shot:


I have put a screen in the bottom which is to a rear bumper camera operated by a switch to turn it on and off. I got really annoyed that I couldnt see things coming up behind me on my last track day. This will be cured






A few in the making pics lol






I have a few more things I want to do to it before it's finished - such as decide where the screen switch is going, maybe make it wrap the a pillar a bit more to compensate for the thick covering not being on it, and make allowance for the screen to tilt back a teeny bit more.

Flocking could be a good finish, but it's undecided on the colour. I'll probably be painting it gunmetal faded to silver since I'll have the paint out for other mods in the meantime.

Will update when it's finished

Hi all from Rome!

by Maiozzo, 09-07-2021, 09:00 PM

Hi guys!

I'm Lorenzo from Rome in Italy but i'm well known as Maiozzo!
In my garage is sitting a quite modified Honda CRX EE8 and an almost new entry Lexus IS200!
I've been invited by Moley's that told me i'll find here everything i need to supercharge my Lexy!
So here are my babies!

The CRX has a complete 60mm exhaust, modified camshafts, port&polished head, DC2 inlet manifold and TB, Simota "Tsuchinoko style" air filter, remapped ECU, D2 coilover, E.S. bushing kit, DC2 front caliper with 282mm discs and braided lines, and a lot of other bits...

The lexus is still completely stock except for the wheels, some Drag Wheels in 8/9x17, but i'm already working on her!

Hope to find what i'm looking for guys!

Cheers!!!
