sorry but that just looks messy and to look at it your eyes are off the track for too long.

In my 99 I used one of those cubby pod top things and modified it to fit the avc-r and wb02, not perfect but right there to see while still concentrating on the track ahead

can't find a pic but I've still got the cubby somewhere for a drink

Mine's currently a bit higher up in the centre console mounted in a hacked up plate: But I find that its really irritating when you're trying to keep an eye on boost/throttle/fueling (I usually have them triple graphed) - I've been playing about to turn it into a HUD (its quite bright and is quite visible on the windscreen, even when clean !)....

Any more ideas would be great!

Cheers,
Ed

i like the idea of using a bracket and putting it where the cup holder goes. i don't have any space to fit it by the stereo unless i take out the ash tray.

I've put mine in place of the switches for the map reading lights and replaced the switches to the center console near the handbrake leaver.
