Phoenix Gold Phorum

Thats looking really nice and a great idea to boot

thanks fella's. It was happy-dance time(The American version is completely different then your Austrian version joerg) when I was able to see that it was all going to work. Never really sure till its all painted and done.

was able to take care of the mounting of the pod today. Didn't take any pics as it doesn't look any different, its just held down now. Now I need to take care of the final details... Take it all back out and start by vacuuming the carpet under it, and then I can reinstall the pod and start installing the electronics and wiring it. I could use some opinions on which grill you like for the cover.

Which one do you like? The green came out really bright on the thicker mesh but its just the flash as its really almost black until under direct light. I kinda like the thinner ones look myself but the thicker is more solid....

I like the thicker one.

thank you sir, I can't decide to go with the function of the thicker one, or the form of the smaller..... Please people speak up!

I like the thicker one as well.

So that settled it and I glued in the thicker mesh this morning while taking care of last minute details for the install.


I think It could be defined as 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb sack but it all fits. The Sirius module kind of gets lost under the DD10 but it was not that important to me to see it. Now comes the next challenge of wiring it all and making sure it all will work, no small feat honestly as you can see the wire nest above it....

still getting use to the hero3 but made a quick time lapse of todays install.

Says the video is private. Might be the settings on YouTube.

not sure how that happened but I changed it, should work now.

is it working now?

Man my back is sore from the wiring. One of those days when I finished up, admired my work and was both happy and sad. I was happy that I was able to hide the majority of the wiring as I had planned but short of the 4 awg wires from yesterday to today it doesn't look much different.



Need to find another 4 awg ring terminal for the ground on the cap, need to find the aluminum/plexi rings the power wires are supposed to come through(currently cleaning the shop looking), and then just wire up the rmd. I need to solder wires to the rmd as I had to cut the portion of the board off that held the phone plug as it would have hit the side of the pod. Can't make an omelet...........

Finally got to turn the key on for the first time in for ever today and sit back and enjoy the show. Hopefully can get the consol/dash installed and the lid to the pod by saterday night.

Looking great!

I know that feeling Have fun driving your pony!

well the new radar detector works awesome, save my gravy the other day as I was about to open it up on a nice open country road. I thought it was having a glitch for as long as it was showing a warning but finally he popped up over the hill following another car. Can't wait till I get a laser warning and find out how well the shifters work.

Got the console installed and happy that it still fits with all the new wiring installed. Also put in the new parking brake boot that matches the seats nicely, now just waiting on the console cover to finish the custom leather pieces off.




Can't wait to get started back on the doors now with the warmer weather.

I'm a sucker for LED lighting effects. Looks good.

just wait till the other 2 layers and the strobes are lit up then

Also got the top put on and lit up as well as carpeted the end piece.

Actually got back too work on getting the passenger door caught up to the drivers side. Took a small break from the build for my spring detailing.

Thanks, the stereo on this got put on hold from a wreck last summer. Rebuilding it now and then will go back into the stereo. You can wire almost any deck into the mach system, its not all that hard if you need help. Deep forest green is my fav as well and I will be repainting it that color hopefully shortly, along with some ghost black accents.

Yea dude, step up your performance.
