Accessories Custom car mount I made for my EVO W/ Otterbox

Wipped this up this morning the main reason why I decided to do this is that I got the torque app for my evo so I can connect it to my truck and have a neat digital display in the corner of my dash. My clip broke on my otter box holster so they are sending me a new case and holster free so I decided to drill some holes in my otter box holster with no worries. I also had a couple small universal speaker mounts laying around in my garage so I had an idea and here it is!

here is the speaker mount that I used to create this. It's an onmi mount AB2 I got about 10 of them on clearance at radio shack awhile back for 1$ each! Except the ones I have are white. I spray painted this one black.

i like it! how did you adhere/attach it inside the truck?

I am actually planning on something similar to this

....it's the only reason I want a mount really but I need something secure enough that they won't question at the track.

if torque is the app I am thinking of...all one needs is the correct bluetooth module and it will communicate with the app obdII-bt-phone.

Yup its torque the app is simply amazing Im still learning a lot about it. I am using one of the cheapo ebay OBD ELM327 Module ones for like 25$ works like a charm here is the exact one I bought and from the exact same guys.

I had it in just over a week even though it came from HK!

I used Scotch Exterior Mounting Tape 4011 to adhere it to my dash you would not beleive how strong this stuff is!!

I do alot of HID Light installs and I use this stuff to hold the ballast basically anywhere and this stuff never fails.

Here are some quick pics I just took of it in my truck with my phone. The main reason I really wanted the torque app is to be able to see temperatures and mpg in the next update he will have the trans temp working which is awesome for when I tow the boat! Im driving a 99 F150 with 200k on it so I really wanna keep an eye on everything trying to make this thing last ya know.
