You have to cut out your cig lighter and dremel the slot to make it fit.

Take your time. Do not rush, and make sure you have the proper tools. You will also want a mini file set to get the cupholder just right. Also be prepaired to dremel out some of the dash brace. I ended up cutting the center mount which holds the left side of the cupholder off. I then made a new mount for it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Nope, it is all plastic..it shouldn't take to long either, I did it at night in like 15 minutes. Just tape off where you want to cut, then use a dremel with a cutting wheel. then fine tune it to your specs

It's the Defi cup and Defi visor. IIRC total cost for the mounting hardware was in the $30 neighborhood.

Yes, people have done that. I didn't do something like that because I'd rip it off or break it with my knee if I put it there.

How come the amber defi's look so damn hard to read in the day light... ?
That's the only thing holding me back from them.... Yes they match the sti's cluster but the white/red needs seem soo much nicer as far as being able to read them clearly...
Anyone have anything on that?
Thanks,

I'm sure you're speaking of my pic.
it came out really bad for some reason.
the only time they are dimmer is when direct sunlight is hitting them, even then they are easy to read.
my pic doesn't do them justice at all.

I never found that there was anything to play with. EGT, Oil temp and boost settings were always the same. The "playback" was completely worthless. Especially with any sort of datalogging.

hmmm, those are the exact same gauges I have...
Maybe just cause we installed them tonight is why I want to play around with them all!!..lol
Here is a question for you since I can't seem to get an answer from anywhere..
Defi's EGT, the probe comes with a threaded adaptor but I don't understand how the probe STAYS in the threaded adaptor... when I put everything together by hand I can just pull the probe right out...
What to do?
Thanks,

There is a crush fitting in the threaded part. Make sure you DO NOT tighten the 2 halves together before it is installed. Thread it into the pipe first and the bottom tight. Then insert the probe into the fitting and set the depth. Once you have the depth set (about half way into the pipe) tighten the upper half of the fitting. Hope this helps.

It does! Thank you,
Last question for the crush fitting which was should it be inside the threaded part? It's a cone shape so should the cone shape go along the coned shaped that is threaded into the header or should it be reversed? There are two pieces, looks like a small coned shaped disc/washer, then a larger coned shaped metal piece... how doe these go together ...ekk! The directions don't make it very easy to see...

Assuming you have this one, then you can just hide it wherever. It's made to be hidden! Then you can just mount the small controller wherever you want. That was the issue with the old model is that the main box was also the controller, thus limiting mounting options.
