3D-printed shift display housing for ForcedFour shiftbox.

[Ben-Stian]

Just designed and 3D-printed a housing for my ForcedFour Smart 100.1 shiftbox display. Really happy with it. Took a piece of clear lexan and applied dark sun film on it so the display only shows when powered up. Pictures of it in my Lancer Evo 2 Auto project.

Hi,

 

[dsmcrzy]

Very cool. I need to 3D print more stuff for my car... esp since I have my own 3D printer.

Looks clean right there on the column and it should feel natural to look at in front of the gauges. Good work.

I went with the gauge setup and put it in an old school MachV pod.

Thanks Yours looks really good, but I prefer minimal extra gauges


I have now also installed paddle shifter and wired to shift box. Very happy with results

I have my smart box wired to the buttons on my steering wheel after not really finding any paddle setups I liked.

But that setup looks legit! Do you mind me asking who makes that paddle setup?

Ben Stian - Do you have any photos of the bracket under the center console for your shifter? I'll be mounting an OEM DSM shifter in my EVO 2 as well.

Anyone wired up the gear display box while using the kiggly mod/ratchet shift setup? Forced Four states it will work but haven't been able to find someone with it installed and details on the install.

It is a modded 2G shifter. Only use P-R-N-D. Have blocked the other gears on shifter. Also installed ballbearings to get a smoother feel instead of plastic bushing.

Open Sim Racing makes the paddle assembly. I cut the base out from a 2.5mm carbon plate.

it looks similar to his setup and he did state he got it from open sim.

Yes I got the paddles/switchassembly from them. I cut the plate myself out from a 2.5mm carbon fiber plate to suit my steering wheel.
