Great pics though...the piece looks good.

Let me know if there's enough interest in the full CF piece.

where is the place for the avc-r, same as for the 3 gauges ?

They are talking about putting the AVC-R where the stock ashtry is. Jazz mentioned he liked the idea and might do it anyways for himself, and Luni offered to send him his ashtry to use, so he can have a piece proto-typed off of it.

oh I thought it should be placed at the air vents

I got the avc-r at this place and I'm not convinced about

of course it looks good, but more important is that you can't read anything very well

the pics >> click

to see anything you must put your head direct over the display, so I thought the avc-r should be placed like the 3 gauges, so you can drive, see anything and can change the settings without any danger

The AVC-R or S-AFC holder spot would look cool if it was blended in to the profile of the center piece a little better...

I liked that idea better than the S-AFC anyways. I'd rather save up and run a stand-alone like hydra than screw with the S-AFC. Once you get a stand-alone the S-AFC is pointless. Besides, your design allows 4 gauges in the dash piece while keeping the A/C vent. It's like the best of both worlds. So, I vote your idea over the A-VCR and S-AFC.

[jazzcornet]

i am running a standalone, i just wanted the avcr pod for "MaD TyTe JdM PimP" points i plan on running an Apex-i RSM v2 in that hole!

thanks for the update Mark, i believe you just earned yourself a free guage pod if those other 14 people follow through!!!

[Luni]

I PMed Jazz and asked if he wants me to send the piece if he wants to pursue it, or whatever.

[jazzcornet]

and i replied

pics look good!! your still doing a CF right? and is the one on the picture the prototype or is it one that u made of the mold?

[jazzcornet]

thats the prototype. you can see a bit of bubbling on the side from the heat stress of making the mold. in the pictures on the first page, you can see it was all flush, but after using it to make the mold, it started to outgas in the heat. no worries though, they told me i wouldnt be able to use the original piece so i'm pretty happy about that.

i will still do a carbon version but the price hasnt been set yet. if we can get more people involved, i'm sure the price will go down

[minerva954]

Looks like great work jazz! Count me in when the time comes

[MR2SW22]

makes it our cars look like 350z or dodge vipers, i almost creamed my pants when i saw these!

Count me in when they are ready to be sold, i'd first like to see the CF pics, but mostlikely would buy a plastic one. I will be using a simple AFC-2 for my fuel needs and would love to see one of these sweet A$$ triple pods in my car and set up so i can easily fit my afc in the ashtray area.

[jazzcornet]

hopefully i'll have more info to share with you guys on monday. no news for right now but we're getting there!

[jazzcornet]

i need opinions in reference to the a/c block off plate......

i have found using craft foam has worked very nicely to block the air. now the question is, how should we make it stay there? i used gorilla tape for temporary adhesion. i was thinking maybe silicone? glue?

i know most of you dont want to have to use something that cant be converted back to stock (although silicone and glue are both easy enough to remove), so i need some ideas.

how about a glue gun ? good question i think using the middle as a useable vent might be a good option, however i think i can just use the side ones for my application.

[Tycoon788]

I'm in for one of these as soon as its ready. i would also be interested in one including the avc-r pod in the ash tray... i have been tring to get that pod for a long time now..
