Cool idea but that place is my make shift drink holder (with the tray removed)

 

Jaja same here. Been doing it since the day I bought my Supra...

 

Hey acording to your avatar your drink doesn't fit at all in the ash tray :-D Seriously, depend of everyone, for me I tryed that once (just typed the story maybe 45 minutes ago on the forum) and it was a nightmare. Also taller drinks would prevent me to shift fast 2-3 and 3-4 so Evo and STI would find their way up to me ;-)

My favorite cup holder is a passenger, but most of the time she also tax taste most of my drink !

Like I said Toyota didn't put cup holders in the Supra MKIV as the MKIV Supra wasn't allowed to have cupholders, as they go too fast for the drinks, would be dangerous ;-)

 

nice project but I don't think this is really a new idea.

most people just locate all their swiches on their dashboard.


still a nice location for switches though

 

nice, much cleaner than switches on the dash - and still very easy to get to and see.

 

I use mine as a cup and coin holder too. Of course some people have cup holders in the second stereo slot. The arm rest is a more popular choice for hidden switches.

 

thats pretty cool, good job on the work. A switch for NOS!!! jk

 

Nothing new with the idea ... I set up mine about 5 years ago for Nitrous... i have purge and the actual switch in mine (instead of just at WOT) I also used where the factory trac switch and the other spaces for arming the system and fuel pump switches

 

i should start watching more james bond movies....awesome way to put your imagination into play.

 

I must agree with your use of the ashtray. I have my Racelogic switch box in my ashtray.

 

Thanks all, I understand some peoples prefer putting their switches on the dash panel, in fact I have a few here too, but I wanted some to be hidden and unreachable from the passenger. Adding I had no use for the ash tray. Yeah the arm rest would be a good place, could put maybe like 30 switches and still have a separation to put my cell phone, usb stick and things here.

Space is counted in the Supra, no door pocket, no cup holder tons of electronic add-on !

 

i have a fleshlight in mine, perfect length

 

Comeon... don't exaggerate!

 

You've forgot the most important James Bond button the ejection seat button Nice mod looks very clean.

 

i would only use it on the passengers seat

 

key ring flashlight ? ahah yeah the ejection seat, great for boring passengers :-D,... but I got an hardtop and just redid all my seats in 2 tones leather with heating pads, would be bad to eject them !

Thanks, I love clean installs, clean wire routing, hose routing, the small details. Not just having it plugged to start using it.

 

I find it hard to waste the button areas where the TRAC used to be and the blanks on either side of them.

 

I really like it. I have a couple of questions though: 1) Can you set up a motor on the bottom so that when the ash tray cover goes down, the motor can push the tray upward? 2) Can you assemble a kit of me? Seriously.

The ash tray cover is already out a tiny bit, so making the ash tray pop-out to sit flush to the shifter housing, would make the cover set out another 1/4 inch for a total of half an inch...

Unless you modify the mechanism for the ash tray cover so it go deeper, yes would be posible, but there is a metal bracked and a second plastic under the ash tray, add the pack of 16-20 wires for connected what is switched...

No problems making the mod, now that I developped all the tricks to do it ! If you are interested to send me your ashtray so I can do the same setup or similar one depending of your switch, led, color choices, just send me a P.M. !

I'm not pretending I'm the first to think about that, but in my case I had the idea, think about the design and finding the right parts, did the first unit/testing on mine and posted the result on SF.com with pics in my own Supra and details. If someone else show here with a similar design, I'll give him all the credits.

About used the 3 TRAC, SEAT HTR and SPOILER blanks caps, for peoples having them unused, yes I recommend this solution, you can fit 6 switches easily and neatly if you buy black I 0 22m, by 11mm switch with an integated led.

But for me it wasn't an option, I bough the SEAT HTR oem switch to wire my seat heater, I'm still using the TRAC button and having a Top Secret front lips, I converted the spoiler on-off button and led to a power antenna on-off switch with status led !

 

This is sweet, but I just need a nice condition ashtray!

 

Great idea. The coolest part is that it is easy to remove.. Another ashtray is fairly cheap and there is no damage anywhere else.. I am getting on this. Manual radar detector shut down and bass control is cool. Love the idea. I just need to find 2 more ideas to use these 4 switches haha.

 

I only connected my first switch to ETTC, I did a schematic of the pin out of my 20 pins molex connector, so when I'll need to wire another switch lets say I buy and install an Electronic Exhaust Cutout tomorrow, just need to remove the shifter console, get my schematic, solder 2 or 3 wires to the corresponding pins of the female molex plug (the one normally soldered to a computer motherboard) get the wire out of the shifter console under the carpet, put back the shifter console, and voila !

turbodunn97supra Nice idea about the start switch button ! I like how opening the ash tray illuminate it !

 

I modified my ash tray a while back for a hidden engine start switch that lights up when the ash tray is opened:

I remember seeing that before. Do you still have the key ignition option as well?

I am not sure that a button start would be a good idea for most AEM run cars, because I think the majority still run with wasted spark. The AEM needs to be on the "on" position for ~5 seconds before it gets started to help it start right up. Also, any Innovate LC-1 users need to wait for the O2 sensor to heat up to operating temperature before starting the ignition in order to prevent the sensor from getting damaged. I am not sure it the latter is applicable to all O2 sensors located in the bung of the downpipe.

Looks nice though.

use the switch to turn off the turbo when low on fuel. remember The Road Warrior?
