****Broadfield's New Interior Mods****
Finally finished the Defi gauge setup in my 240. I decided to make my own cluster using Defi gauges and then 3 more in the center vent location. I used the green Defi Link gauges with the brand new V.S.D. Concept X heads up display. In the main cluster I used a 80mm tach and boost, along with 52mm EGT and water temp. I gutted the entire OEM cluster leaving only a small black trim section that would frame my gauge plate that houses the Defi's. I also gutted the rear white section of the cluster which clips to the front glass and the black trim left over. I used 1/4" hardboard as my new cluster plate. Flushed in the gauges and retro fitted the turn signals into the plate. I reused the green arrows for the signals and used 1" pvc for bulb housings.
Now for the cool part. Since Defi does not make a speedometer gauge, I decided to go with the HUD for the windshield. I was going to retrofit the Defi HUD module into the OEM HUD pod that I bought off of another member. Figured it would look nice and OEM. Come to find out they discontinued the V.S.D. Concept. So I bought the Concept X instead and molded the module into the top of my steering wheel shroud. It works and looks flawless! I won't go into detail but basically I bondo molded it in and used texture paint on both the top half and bottom half. Then painted it a nice SEM black. Here are a bunch of pics and one of the Concept X HUD the way it comes new. EDIT: New interior pics on page 9 Last edited by Broadfield; 09-19-2009 at 09:01 AM.. |

i applaud you on your execution. Very clean and creative.
What about low fuel warning light and check engine? Those are the other two i would be worried about. i guess you could always add those later. |

I'll send you some pics. I don't post anything online anymore, too much risk of theft.

Inspirational
WOW! That's really nice work, great attention to detail... it's all been said before but nice job!
My 240 is a DD/autocross car, so I spend a whole lot more time looking at the interior than the exterior; I really appreciate seeing projects like this. Supa clean! |
