Basically changed out the whole dash (too many broken tabs and stripped holes) from years of aftermarket stereo intalls and removals before i got the car. I replaced alot of stuff and put back seats in also. I finally have all my gauges mounted and wired up. Here's some pics from this week, i'll finish posting when its really finished.

I hate dash work.

Nice!

very nice! I like the glove box replacement for the gauges, looks very clean. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

i like that wheel. why is your temp guage pegged at h? that would drive me crazy

the H? just started doing that the other day. I figure i've got two other methods of checking coolant temp so i'm not super concerned, however i'll be retracing the tec/remaing mazda harness this week while i clean up the engine bay, hopefully the problem with become obvious.

looks good, where did you get the glovebox thing to hold the guages?

it came from japan, its pretty easy to make one though.

yea, it would, but i want to spend my time on other things. like the engine and stuff, so It'd be nice just to order one.

How much weight can be removed from the dash while leaving in the heater and such? Is it even worth all the work for the reduced weight?

not really worth pulling the dash to try to save a few pounds, the dash itself doesn't really weigh much, but i do hear the S5 dash does weigh a bit more than the S4.

Dude, you got a Dell!
