I like to mount the controller on a slight angle facing the driver in the glove box, I also have the turboxs wideband 02 in a similar fashion. It is pretty visible when you open the glove box and completely stealth otherwise.

The glove box idea is neat too, but I'd like to reserve the glove box space for other misc. junk that I usually carry with me. I'm gonna give the coin box thing a shot and see if it'll work....

I did #3, but it's wedged between the seat and the center console. My leg never touches it and I can still see it if I look down. I test-mounted the controller in different spots around the cabin, but that seemed to be the best location to me.

My steering column has a bunch of stuff on/near it too... XD-1, EBC display, and V1 radar (the small thing).

I am very aware he does not have the MR.


I was refering that the MR's lack of coin boxes, I was just trying to make the remark that you can't use that specific spot on the MR.

floor mats? haha I took out the stock floormats I took my car home from the dealer and threw in some Rubber Weather guard mats.....

When you take out a lot of friends I'd rather have something that'll protect from spills/liquids etc.

There isnt any coin box on any 05, I mounted my controller in the cubby hole in the center consol really easy to watch and get to. I will try to get a pic.

Hey man, congrats on the Alky kit, I almost hopped on that one but didn't know enough about it to strain my funds. I know about all the pro's to it and the funds were just too tight for me to swing it.

I believe we met at the EVO NY BBQ, you came out towards the end, right? And also have the MR rims.

I have the white one and we chilled for awhile.
