Sam1647545489 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Picked up some new gauges since the older ones didnt work to well. So I just decided to replace them with the necessary ones needed. No radio or speedo was installed nor was gas gauge since I am installing a fuel cell this week. Hot glued the shift light in there as well as the boost controller. Tommy at IPS did a great job fitting the plates in there and getting the new dash installed. So here are some pics. All heater controls still work. I gotta still get a nice aluminum bolt to hold them in there. The screw was just a temporary things till I got a nicer looking one. Thanks to IPS for their help and great work. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/ls2sam/001.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/ls2sam/003.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/ls2sam/002.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Why are you keeping the un-needed weight? Clean install. :thumbup: KillJoy Also, no HVAC = fogged windows. A friend has a stripped out car for RallyX. He pulled the entire HVAC system to save weight..... Then the first rainy RallyX he couldn't see out of the car.

KillJoy Its pretty much done as is, just the fuel system, trans install which will take a day and tune and done. Anything else is just weight reduction.
