Overhead console with garage door opener (excuse the poor headliner)


4th gen center console

 

I'm totally digging that power mirror switch location. Looks very nice.

 

It looks good, but you gotta turn your head sideways to use it without stumbling around.

 

Really though, how often do you have to adjust your mirrors?

 

I do a lot of driving at night (yay for graveyard shift) with the windows down. so, I have to adjust them every time I get a truck behind me at just the right height.

On a side note, I had to argue with someone that it wasnt a manual. I finally told him that he was right, and it had an advanced computerized clutch system that requires no third pedal. He called me a smart *** and stormed off. I love stupid people.

 

Built my own dash. Ill try to get better pics later.

 

Made my own dash set up...

Used lexan and autometer gauges.. Kept the factory high beam and turn signals. Painted lexan from back side and places arrows and chevy logo where factory stuff was. Hid all the screws from sight.

Nice!!!!!

 

This looks amazing!!

 

4th gen gauges and console delete.

 

Made a ashtray delete plate for my car, has a th350 trans so the letters and numbers of the stock shift plate were bothering me lol but adding autometer gauges next and then toggle switches controlling all the lights in the car

 

Hp tuners on my windows tablet. Cant get any better than this. And i can bluetooth music to my stereo.

 

.

 

New one, not done yet

 

Speedhut gauges.

 

you should replace your hand rest with pull strap looks race car'ish and you get that sweet weight reduction.

 

so you want weight reduction yet put 10lbs of speakers in a door.. makes sense

 

Sorry for crossposting this in other posts, but here's my dash. I only wish I could find reverse indiglo gauges but I'll settle for the white overlays. Love the look.

 

not actually my car just showing how the pull straps look, that door is on a factory Porsche i think.

 

I didn't like the camaro's 86 dash so I dropped in a 92 dash with Autometer cobalt gauges, 4th gen console and 85 Firebird radio mount with custom HU from maptech.

Motobooks was the trim ring supplier, had a bunch made at a machine shop, limited run I guess.

 

I Made this console plate that I cut out on a laser cutter to put into my 83 trans am , used 1/8in birch ply that I painted and poly'd but also made one out of abs plastic that I'll post pics of later. If interested pm me with any questions

Here's a close up of the firebird logo

 

SS amp rack, with my bird design and without the lights and rear cover. but you get the idea.

 

Boost gauge in center vent area. <br/>Tach above that on top of dash.<br/>Pillar = WB and FP<br/><br/>My favorite part is the new Magnetic tablet and Phone holding center console piece. (where the radio and heater controls are normally) Using bluetooth or 3.5 jack to play through 4 ch amp to aftermarket speackers.<br/>

 

ditched the 4th gen dash this winter in favor of a 3rd gen bird dash.

 

I am trying to install a 2000 cluster in my 82. Can you send me wiring instructions. I am confused on what power wires I need etc.

 

I did an LS swap in my 82 camaro. I want to use a cluster from a 2000 camaro SS,. I see where LBC_camaro91 put gen 4 gauges in his Gen 3.. I am stuck on stupid on how to wire the cluster. I am assuming it all will go through the ODBII port, just not sure what I need to connect to what.and what I need to do it.

 

Nothing goes to the OBD2 port. The link below is detailed wiring diagrams for a 2000 Camaro. That will unlock the mystery of wiring pinouts for the gauge pod. Basically just replicate it for the gauge circuits and things will work.

You will also need detailed schematics for your 82 Camaro so you can figure out which wires will bring the sensor signals through your firewall.

Thank you very much I will run it down and let you know how it goes

 

some of my small interior mods.
'Holley 12.3" dash
Holley 3.5" screen
nrg steering wheel w/ quick release
double din bezel with double din radio
vintage air controls
black leather with grey stitched shift boot and center console lid
(dad made) billet shift **** but might change to a 03 cobra ****
Corbeau gts2 seats w/pontiac g6 coupe bet guides
trans am map pocket with camaro emblem
premium gta door panels with custom screw covers
custom led dome lights w/dash switch
annoying location cup holder

 

Pretty sure you have that covered but just in case. Make sure you have the correct sensors to drive the gauges. Specially fuel level sending unit and speedometer.

 

I am trying to do the same thing in my 82 but I am not a wiring guru. I do not understand how the gauges are communicating with the senders since there is no dedicate wire for the tach or fuel sender on the 2000 cluster. Not sure how to get the signal to all the gauges .I looked at a wring schematic and I see all gauges go to a 12V switched ignition and there is a constant hot wire. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I assume that the ecm (LS) drives the speedometer. The ecm must receive a signal from the transmission. Usually, the gauges get 12V and the grounds are controlled by sensors. Now we are hacking this thread. I suggest you start a thread for your swap. That could be interesting to get some info from/for the community. Maybe there is already a thread somewhere on the topic.

 

Here’s mine. Auto meter tach and speedo, iPad for DashCommand and InfinityBox control. Fuel pressure, oil temp, fuel pump voltage, and L/R wideband. 4th gen console.

 

Edited my previous post. I love the LEDs

 

I'm looking to do the same dash in my 1992. Do you mind sharing how you mounted it?
