New place for my wideband.

[duffbuster243]

So after making a dual bezel pod and putting my wideband on the steering column with a forcefed pod like this

I got tired of not being able to see my odometer, even though its quite depressing b/c the miles are racking up.

I go to thinking and I tore my wideband gauge apart to see what it looks like inside. After seeing it I found a place in the gauge cluster to mount it. well after an hour or so of cutting things that shouldn't be cut I end up with this as a completed project:

I only wish I bought the amber gauge from innovate, but the blue doesn't look half bad.

It looks like more of a part of the car and less like aftermarket, kinda like a clock. Good job

Daytime photos are up

super, super clean. what used to be there? surely there was an ABS light or something...?
and put some gas in your car, geez

 

[duffbuster243]

There were no lights in that spot on my Mazdaspeed it was just a blank, maybe it served a purpose in another model protege.

I was going to ask that as well, but since there is nothing... I LOVE IT! Awesome idea dude that looks like it was done by a pro.

I'm pretty good with the little custom things. I did also make the dual bezel you see myself.

 

[Ricktalife]

I was admiring that as well. You are skilled with your hands. Happen to snap any pics during the wideband relocation? I'm guessing it's a Prosport wideband? That's what I have anyway.

 

[duffbuster243]

I only snapped one picture while putting it back together. It its an older innovate gauge that came with my LC-1 wideband. Here's the picture. as you can see the circuit board hangs out a bit, thats where the cutting was necessary.

 

[Ricktalife]

You cut the circuit board and it still works?

 

[duffbuster243]

No, I had to cut the plastic in the gauge cluster so the circuit board could hang out the bottom.

 

[Ricktalife]

Ahhhhhh gotcha lol I was so confused.

 

[yudkib]

i was worried too. lol.
