where do you guys put the electronics? i.e guages, turbotimers, boost controllers... any suggestions for a spot for an HKS type 1 turbo timer would be great. pics would be superdupper. thanks.

I picked up one of those car garbages that hooks to the passenger headrest. Holds more trash too. escaflowne 08-24-2003, 11:52 PM thanks sooooo much!! the pic is very helpful. perfect reply. brilliant idea. the hks tt isn't the shape i like the most.. i like the blitz flat thing. but it's the best.. so i'm going with the HKS. any other suggestions? escaflowne 08-24-2003, 11:53 PM btw.. what are those lil circles above the head unit? escaflowne 08-25-2003, 12:43 AM oh. was it hard to install? did you have to cut anything? wrexr 08-25-2003, 12:51 AM The circles above the headunit is the Zapco SP7 Preamp EQ. Install of the TT is easy. Make sure to order the optional wiring harness specific for the WRX, it will save time and cutting. gruppe-s.com has the best price I could find, and are local. -white ninja wagon escaflowne 08-25-2003, 01:50 AM cool. i didn't realize that you were also from the bay area. i guess i'll make Gruppe-S my primary shop. did you install yourself? wait.. so did you have to cut? wrexr 08-25-2003, 02:20 AM Me and my buddy installed it. Comes with connector for splicing as I remember. I would recommend having a little extra wire and connectors around for the job as I recall. Took around 30 minutes. escaflowne 08-25-2003, 08:23 PM crap. sounds hard. btw.. .do you know if gruppe-s does installation? i should prolly pay the labor... i'd most likely break something. haha. lttldgn 08-27-2003, 05:15 AM speedoptions.com also has the wiring harness IIRC was like $30 or something.. i bought it liek 2 yrs ago tho =p gruppe-s is great.. ordered couple things from them lately.. good and fast service =) i have the blitz dual TT it fit into the center console where the factory clock is.. bad news is... i never know what time it is hehe good news is.. it looks totally stock.. only took me 5-10 minutes with a dremel to make it fit.. it just squeezes into place.. and not much material needed to be removed.. its just nice cuz it doubles as a boost gauge.. as for the installation(wiring) of the timer.. REALLY easy with the harness... just plug n play =) you'll probably want to hide the wiring.. so u may want to remove your certain panels (fairly easy) another popular spot is next to the cupholder.. ive seen people install a xxx(forgot brand) turbo timer with a/f gauge there and it looks stock as well.. the hks timer in the same location looks odd IMHO escaflowne 08-27-2003, 10:30 PM damn. never thought they'd be soo complicated? anyone know of good shops that can do installs for me? i'm thinking i'll just buy from gruppe-s and get some shop aruond the bay to do the install. the blitz seems really tempting... but i'm prolly gonna just stick with the HKS. i like the 0--60 reading thing. haha. so.. anyone know of good shops around the bay that can do this kinda custom work? thanks... huck 08-31-2003, 10:28 PM Originally posted by lttldgn speedoptions.com also has the wiring harness IIRC was like $30 or something.. i bought it liek 2 yrs ago tho =p gruppe-s is great.. ordered couple things from them lately.. good and fast service =) i have the blitz dual TT it fit into the center console where the factory clock is.. bad news is... i never know what time it is hehe good news is.. it looks totally stock.. only took me 5-10 minutes with a dremel to make it fit.. it just squeezes into place.. and not much material needed to be removed.. its just nice cuz it doubles as a boost gauge.. as for the installation(wiring) of the timer..

Sounds kinda cool. t-wrexxx 09-04-2003, 09:23 PM Here is my HKS type 0 in the center console. Take a look. http://hometown.aol.com/dca797/myhomepage/photo.html |
