You've offically become one of my Prelude's role models you know that?

So did you ever think of the name that made your headunit? I honestly love it. Did it take any fabrication?

And did you install the Temp gauge yourself?

'99luder · 04-11-2006, 02:13 PM

wow, that's gorgeous!

VTi BB8 · 04-21-2006, 05:04 AM

Hey there guys! I'm having some busy times, so I couldn't reply any sooner.

@HooberSi: LOL, thanks...

I really don't know the name for the headunit... It's a no name brand. I'll take a picture of the packaging so you can see for yourself.

It didn't need any fabricating at all... just plug&play. It mounts directly to the factory holes.
And yeah, I installed the temp gauge myself... It took just couple of minutes to widen the hole a bit. On the other hand, wiring is quite time consuming if not straight pain in the ass.

As for the future plans... Yeah, I do have them. It never stops.

I'm currently working on the rear spoiler... It's going to be a bit similar to the mugen, but better. At least I hope so. I'll post some pics when it's done.

I would also like to have the hood and the hood spoiler made out of blue hybrid carbon fibers... And also the rear one when we're at it.
We'll probably also make a custom rear bumper as we did the front one... But mugen rears will be just fine for now.
I also need to install soccer3303's rear LED's... We're still working on the PWM circuit.
BTW Daniel, would you happen to have any PWM circuits on stock? I never got your reply...

@Solid: The hood bonnet spoiler helps A LOT! The hood stays calm even at extreme speeds (up to 270 km/h). I was amazed what difference it makes when I drove around without it for a month. It also helps a lot to reduce the amount of water being sprayed on the windshield when driving behind someone in the rain and the wipers also work more efficiently because of it.

who made the center triple gauge pod for you? i would love to get mine done with that good a finish for 60mm guages. think you could hook something up ?

VTi BB8 · 04-21-2006, 01:04 PM

I did it myself... I gave up on the idea that I'll find a decent one on the market. But I don't regret that decision.

I can only help you get the carbon tubes if you decide to make one similar like mine. But mine are 52mm... I doubt that you could fit 60mm in the vent piece.

VTi BB8 · 04-21-2006, 01:06 PM

Some new pics of the engine bay...

And another couple of the exterior...

theaneet · 04-21-2006, 01:08 PM

that looks hot as always... did you paint that valve cover or is it the edm one? the paint looks like it matches ur car really well.

aneet

VTi BB8 · 04-21-2006, 01:13 PM

It's painted... with Audi A3 factory color... I know, shame on me.

theaneet · 04-21-2006, 04:38 PM

it looks really good. has the paint started to peel at all due to the heat? just wondering, how come didnt you paint it super marine blue?

aneet

nuro · 04-21-2006, 05:09 PM

looks to me like that triple pod holder could be made for a 60mm version... feel like doing a walkthrough on how to make it?

VTi BB8 · 04-21-2006, 05:45 PM

I really don't think it's possible... There is perhaps 2-3mm reserve with my design but not enough for 60mm gauges. The problem is that there is no space left under the center vent. I hardly squeezed mine in there.

Basically, you just cut 3 oval holes in the vent piece and shape them so that the gauge tube sits in the way you want it. You then glue the 3 tubes to the vents and cut them so that the gauges sit in there. Here's a close up, so you can have a better idea what I'm talking about...

The paint is very resistant to the heat... It's chipped in a couple of places but that's all my fault for not being careful when I washed my engine bay.

I used this color bc I wanted it to match the SiR cover as much as possible. It came out quite nice, except for maybe being a bit too bright. But I haven't seen the original, so I can't be too sure about that.

I might change it to red someday... I have an extra valve cover sitting in the garage, so why not give it a try.

VTi BB8 · 04-28-2006, 07:58 AM

Here's some new ones. Hope you'll like them...

nuro · 04-28-2006, 08:08 AM
