I've been there before, 10 years ago though, and in a Civic. I think this will be slightly different

The spooling is so fast on this twin scroll you can barely hear it before it is full speed! I was amazed at how quiet this system ran on James' car.

The dash is out, but I forgot to take a quick picture of it out. Time to figure out mounting the gauges.

It is a bit of a headache. It was going smoothly until I needed to remove two plugs from the vents in the stop of the dash. They did not want to come out.

Installing Defi gauges. I needed to remove the dash to properly remove the triple gauge.

Funny, it was running through my head when I couldn't get those two little plugs out.

It's all good now, I'll take a quick picture of the dash removed today. The plan was to install gauges today, but I think I'll install my RJM Performance clutch pedal assembly while I have the room to work.

Awesome Jason,

How long did it take you to get to that point? I am assuming you needed a puller to get the wheel off?

It took 1 to 1.5 hours for remove everything, taking my time to be careful. You don't need a puller to remove the steering wheel, but you do need a T-30 tamper proof torx bit to remove two screws that release the airbag.

I suggest getting a copy of the service manual, and follow this DIY for steering wheel removal, DIY: Steering Wheel Removal

O&G · 01-15-2013, 10:30 AM

GET IT! Can't wait to see that gauge setup. DIY is the only way!

Cmike2780 · 01-15-2013, 11:57 AM

I don't think I'm brave enough to do that to my car...probably why this thread is so interesting.

GaleForce · 01-15-2013, 12:07 PM

As promised. I pulled that dash last night before I went I bed. I should have stayed in the garage because I spent the next 2 hours wide awake in bed planning the next steps...
