  1. eduardo ... can you post up a picture of the seats from straight on? ... I'd love to see how the whole seat looks. After seeing yours, I'm totally considering doing something very similar.

     

    Yeah i can but it be till tomorrow as the car is in the garage this week due to coil over conversion. You should definetly doe the seats as they change all aspect on the car. i'm glad i am getting positive comments on my mods..

  2. Beautiful! Is the hood spaced up at the back like that on purpose?

     

    BC_99

     

    Yup i spaced the hood about 1/2 inch in order to have better air flow cooling the engine down, believe or not it works great, Japanese cars use that setup in drift cars and on road racing. It looks a bit off in way but i like it and it helps decipate heat from the engine bay, the scoop i also functional as it has a hole cut to vent the turbocharger while the car is in motion. The more ventilation you have the better.

  3. Congratulations. Looks great. I really like the carbon fiber touches. Is that a vinyl wrap? Really looks nicely done.

     

    Your seats make me very excited to have my reupholstered.

     

    Hell yeah that's vinyl wrapping carbon 3d look since no one makes one of parts in carbon for our cars the best idea and inexpensive was to wrap it. You can get the wrapping on ebay for like $35 bucks or so for a huge roll.

    The seats came out stunning in my opinion, the complete reupholstered front and back seats ran me $1,550 not bad for the the quality of work.

  4. After a couple of years of the vehicle being hit and my buddy having it at his shop it finally was done. Here is a couple of pics of the restoration process.

  5. Though a few asked earlier, it was never mentioned if the parts were taken:

     

    ECU

    Flywheel

    The display for the HVAC?

    If interior is black: the plug that goes over the bolt in the bottom of the inside door pull.

    Fog Lights (rally just need glass, but if the assemblies are in good condition...)

    Any engine components left?

     

    I don't have any parts as of right now until some time next week when the car arrives. I will keep you guys posted.

  6. The Engine harness doesn't happen to be out of an "auto"car does it?

     

    If so, I'll take it (because of a few of the sensor connections I believe are slightly different) If not, I'll continue my search.

     

    Thanks man!

     

    -N8

     

    It should be the same auto or 5 speed as the sensors are the same with the exeption of the extra plug it has for the clutch pressure sensor to start it but you can always bypass it with a simple wire or connector.
