Just to add, all my electronics will be hidden from plain view. I am one of those guys that loves the underhood to be BLING BLING, but when it comes to the interior, I like it as simple as possible.

So, anyone that may have ideas on what and where something should go, let me know.

Something that I have seen before is a custom pod in the glove box that hold like 3 guages. I always that it would be the sickest thing ever to either have a push button flip up gauge pod on the center dash (kinda like the cigarrete lighter, just it pushes straight up), or something so that when you open up the center console three gauges extend out.

Well, that's the plan, but we will see how much we get done.

What kind of electronics do you have? I'm not a big fan of all the gauges in the dash also. There are a couple of company actuall make the all in one gauge that you mount on the cluster. What engine management are you running again?

Well, not too much updates on the car itself, the engine bay has been completely taken a part again, awaiting chroming of parts.

Here's the first section of a few sub enclosures that will be spicing up the trunk area!

I will be running 4 Alpine Type R 12s. I am not too much into stereo, but since this will represent me at car shows, we are going all out. All air space have been correctly measured, the subs in this particular box will not be inverted like the picture, but you guys have an idea what it can look like. There are going to be 4 main parts to this custom enclosure, stay tuned!

Stop ASKING me, I am stressed as it is!!!

Since the MAP ECU II is already wired in, I will stick with it till I reach the problems everyone's having with them. From there I will go AEM.

Jason, you have any experience with the MAP ECU II? Do they just suck or what?
