Here are some pictures of the defi mounted. I wired up my illumination cable to the little lamp just above the middle console.

I thought u would have went the defi pod?

I personally would have went with the defi single din. Since u have a single
Dincd player. A much more
Cleaner presentation for a simple dc5 interior.

roughly what is the cost of this not including install?
would mugen(defi)gauges cost much more?

I can't believe that instead of working on this super big assignment I have due monday that I spent 2 hours reading through this thread instead hahahaha fml

Apart from that, that was such an interesting progression and I love the work you've done!!! Motivates me so much more to get my car running fresh like mentos.

This thread has made resisting the "Buy Now" button on so many ebay items so much more difficult!

Nah. I liked it mounted on the top. Plus its just a matter of time before I get a double din. The single din is playing up abit at the moment.

The rough cost of all the items I bought including the meter visors were as followed:

Defi Defi-Link Meter ADVANCE CR 60mm Oil Temperature Meter DF09101 Universal White AUD 164.07
Defi Defi-Link Meter ADVANCE CR 60mm Oil Pressure Meter DF08901 Universal White AUD 231.19
Defi Defi-Link Meter ADVANCE CR 60mm Water Temperature Meter DF09201 Universal White AUD 164.07
Defi Defi-Link ADVANCE Control Unit DF07701 Universal White AUD 146.67
TRUST OIL SENSOR ATTACHMENT 12002801 Universal , STANDARD AUD 88.25
TRUST GReddy RADIATOR HOSE ATTACHMENT 16401632 HONDA Integra type R DC5 (K20A) (7/01-7/06) 32mm AUD 38.53
Defi Option Parts(SINGLE METER VISOR (60mm)) DF11201 TOYOTA Soarer MZ20 (7M-GTE) 1/86-4/91 AUD 67.11
Defi Local Postage AUD 7.46

I bought these items through http://perfectrun.jp. Highly recommended as they were by far the cheapest I could find and also had the lowest postage cost. Installation cost I wouldn't know as a friend and myself wired everything up. Pretty easy until you get to the actual part in sorting out which wire attaches to which one. Hope that helps

Thanks. I love the transition as well. Just a word of advice, make sure you do your research before you buy. And if your going to buy something, get the right thing the first time. Too many times in the modifying world people try to substitute things for others and it just never works. In the meantime enjoy as there are a few more surprises still for 2011 .

Hey mate, good piece of advice right there, do it once, do it right!!
With my limited student budget I gotta strike the balance between budget and performance, I personally can't financially justify spending an extra $1,000 for a toda header when something like a kiddracing header performs well in comparison, factoring KW gain and $ spent.
*Subscribed* to this thread, can't wait to see more work done and those defi gauges are 100% pure porn

the bronze rims are soo unbelieveably sexual, how much were they?

[Norm]

Bought them quite cheap, second hand with a few gutter rashes. I'll pm you.

Its been awhile since i've updated. Here is just a short happy snap of some mods I've done since I've last posted. Received my FD and Rigid Collars last week. Will provide review on the Craft Square Mirrors (If your wondering why isn't it a silver base, its because its a special order for a black base). Stage 2 mods, beginning 2012. Will be doing a proper photoshoot next week so we'll get some nice pictures up then. You guys are going to love Stage 3 of Mods .

PS. Do excuse the dust on the car

[Norm]

These just arrived today.

K-series Carbon Synchros 1-6, from Synchrotech. They are very efficient in handling orders and shipping.

[felixR]

whoa nice.. hmm rigid collars

[Norm]

Gonna be learning how to use a friends GoPro Hero2 HD camera just for some recording fun. Gonna try to do a HD quality video of before and after final drive. In the meantime just another late edition to my mods. Its a license plate, had it for awhile but just haven't presented it to you guys yet. Cars booked in on the 24th!.....17 days to go and counting!

Yeh I'll definitily write up my impressions on each part to the best of my ability. Its more difficult when everything is going in at once.

K - Tuned Coil Pack came, a symbol of Stage 2 Mods!. The Red rocker cover will come when Stage 3 mods are done .

I have been wondering what is going on with this car. Any track days on the horizon? Also I changed "rocket" to "rocker" in your post, I hope you don't mind.
