Mounting location for amb transponder?
I'm trying to figure out the best location for my transponder. Where have you mounted your transponders? Please post pictures.

Is it a battery powered or hard wired transponder?
Do you have any body work done? |

I have the battery powered transponder and the car has no body work done. It is 100% stock except for a forester xt oil cooler. On my S2000 I had it mounted in front of the radiator but that doesn't work for the FR-S. See the attached picture. Last edited by sstfnv; 03-23-2015 at 10:20 AM. |

For W2W racing you'll want it as far forward as you can without being in an impact area where it'll get ripped off (as timing & scoring measures who crosses the finish line by transponder, not visually watching cars cross the finish line).
But for TT, just in a location where you can get a good read from the receiver.

I actually have mine mounted to one of the tow hooks underneath the front of the car. I have yet to have any issues with it coming off despite hitting the curbs hard and even a few offs.
