Stereo in cubby

[Pabz]

In another thread 2 of ya said u wanted to see a shot. I will get one of it.

 

Left stock 1.5 din stereo where it was. DIC in ashtray, looks like ass, but i got a better looking DIC in the jy today which will go in lata.

 

Big plans for everything. ECC too.

how is that with your shifter right there? I realize it probably wouldnt be a problem while in gear, but what about park?

I found I have to shift into 1st to change out cds but thats why I have a MP3 player I have no need to change out my cd

[Psych0matt]

alriht, thats what I was thinking (had to before i had the dis to put my little cd case in) I was however thinking about making the shifter shorter somehow...

I have a spare i'm going to hack up and turn into a short throw shifter

[Psych0matt]

on your auto? or were you one of the 5 speed prospectives? I've been wondering about doing it to an auto

[cutlsp]

mine is an auto i see no point in making a daily driver out of a 5spd

[Psych0matt]

if you figure out a good way, let me know. I've always wanted to get my shifter down lower. Sorry for the hijacks. Pics?

[Dirty Rockstar]

Short throw in an AUTO!! Oh man!!

 

Start with a 94-6 Grand Prix shifter.. They're already short from the get go.. Also, anyone from those Cavvys or Sunbirds and jazz may be short also..

 

Pabz, pics would be cool!

I dunno how great it would work on our cars with a shorter shifter - I find when my shifter is down into 1st lock out it is already pretty close to hitting the plastic trim around the console becaue of how the angle is...

 

Only solution is granny shifter of course !

[Crazy K]

Oh dear. I like the granny shifters. LOL

I actually installed a granny shifter column, deleteing a console because I wanted to put in a popcorn maker!

why not try putting the DIS where the old stereo was? Make a plate and have the DIS in the middle. Look at late 80's Delta 88's how their placement is.

I know the DIC looks like ass, got a another from the jy, going in, in the summer, with covers for the screws.

[Crazy K]

I think I would rather see the radio in the next slot up with the dic and HUD control in the lower spot. Or the cig lighter instead... You might even delete the cig lighter and relocate it to the center console.

This would overcome the problem of changing discs!

[Dirty Rockstar]

Hells yea.. 8) (Been toyin around with this idea since ~August.. Something in the ashtray..) Looks good..

[Pabz]

Oh ya i though of this for a long time!! but i thought the cubby was easier

[jeremy]

the HU looks crooked :?

[Pabz]

Ya it does, probably messed it up when i took it out for wiring the seat heaters, I will fix it today!!

 

I like that its hidden, with the slight tint on the side windows, u can see it.
