Simple one - where's the best place for it that isn't the ashtray ? Where've people got theirs ? Nigel, you run one of these, correct ?

i've got mine stuck on with velcro where the le starter button should be.

it's easy to see there.

mine's is in the ashtray for now but i did look at making up a very neat little panel to replace the heater vents above the clock.

Jayell - yes, you're right - I run a Blitz.

I bought some sticky-back magnetic strips, stuck them to the back of the Blitz unit, and it now sticks (magnetically) to the dash strip, just to the left of the clocks.

FYI, I got the magnetic strips from Halfords - they're used to hold 'L' plates to car bodywork

On velcro for remove and hide facility

Right-hand Blitz position

I have also found this to be the easiest position for controlling while driving (if you are right-handed), in the ashtray it's I find it hard to reach and read the LCD text.

right hand air vent works well

there is already a thread on this, try a search

Whittler - where is your Control unit in your coupe? And where did you draw the power from for the display etc?

got mine here,

Sos webby, I think that ruins the sleek look of the colour coded strip personally.

they stand out a bit but i could'nt be bothered to mess around with the air vents, or ash tray. maybe im lazzy haha

Yeah well same here I'm the laziest cooper ever.

That's okay I have a forumer coming to do the hard work. Hope Taffy never reads this

Hi Pinin, the control unit is inside the centre console, sort of under the radio. The power is taken from the ciggy lighter circuit, if I remember correctly.

I will post a photo of where the solenoid is later and where the boost sensing pipe passes through the bulkhead.

@Pinin, location pictures of Blitz Bitz:

Solenoid in front of battery on bracket (EBV removed) Postioned here the pipe routes are as short as I could get them and still securely mount the solenoid.

Useless photo of Blitz control unit hiding behind panel LOL

I couldn't photograph the boost sense pipe because there wasn't any room for a camera , however it emerges in the engine bay below where the ABS control unit is located. This was the shortest route to pick up boost from the fuel pressure regulator pipe.

Thanks whittler. I have a plan Going to have a crack tommorow.

hey Whittler, has your carpet always been like that? all i have in my car is a little hump that sits on top of the wires. do all later coops have that nice filled in look with vents? Adam

Hi Adam, I think this bit of carpet was introduced on the later models, maybe only the LEs and Pluses (don't know for sure). Heinzeman pointed it out first in one of his "I want a perfect coupe" threads. I had never noticed that there was a difference myself but I guess it finishes off this area neatly

Cheers Andy, might have to try and find a part number...

i was thinking same as you, ajg
