That shift knob, shift boot, and steering wheel would look amazing in that car!

TOPGUN · 03-25-2009, 04:34 PM

where can i buy those from

Where did you get your center console stitched up? Are you gonna do the dash to match? I'm probably gonna be doing something similar with my interior one of these days.

TOPGUN · 03-28-2009, 06:13 AM

Interior retrim was done by Harry at LSC-Interiors Coventry England,i have asked him about the dash and said he will look into it.

Got all the sound system finished made up a amp rack and covered it in black carpet,the Alpine components sound great,and even made a start on stripping the engine down in preperation for powder coating.

TOPGUN · 04-05-2009, 05:41 PM

Only made a start yesterday evening and managed to get the TVIS cover off,most of the other bolts securing the cam cover and other parts are off aswell.

Had a few hours spare today and managed to strip the rest of the engine down,What a biatch of a job getting the rocker cover off as there is a piece of wiring trunking which obscure the bolts at the back,getting the nuts of the trunking really tried my patience but perseverance won in the end.

The shift knob and boot you can get on ebay from Keith Tau at RPM garage (he's located in Japan but the products are all OEM and in-box new). The stitched wheel you can get from him too, but it's a huge ripoff, he charges like $2,000 - $3,000 for them based on the fact that they're "discontinued". A couple people on the boards should have them for $800 or so.

Just sprayed some brackets and refurbed all the bolts in silver which hold down the cam cover etc.Was having a look at the cams and yes i have TRD ones ,was just in the process of taking a pic and the dam battery went flat so will post some pics later.Hopefully should have the rocker cover and AVIS cover back weds,ordered some new gaskets so if i get to finish polishing the intake manifold should be all back together by next week.

Just recieved my new dials from Speedhut only problem is they have the wrong font on TRD,so gonna chase them up to get a new one remade.

tigerpee · 04-14-2009, 12:26 PM

Very very nice car and interior! Any plans on refreshing the dashboard? Seems like the folks in the UK have much cleaner cars than the US.

TOPGUN · 04-14-2009, 05:35 PM

Good news got the cam cover and ACIS cover back from the powder coaters and I'm well happy.

And here's a bit of a teaser started to polish the inlet manifold and its nearly finished spent around 20 hours on it so far so just a snippet of a pic.
