Great job with the interior swap. I saw you and your dad gutting the pieces from Mikes' red wagon at the GTG. Nice to see the end result. Very clean.

If he gets his 240 beast running he'll change his tune I bet.

Default Final patched the hole

On sunday, I finally got off my butt and patched the hole in the trunk area

Remember this?

Well here is what I ended up doing:



It is different material, but it is what my dad had left over in the attic.

It looks better in person. The interior is that much more "custom."

What you guys think?

I also am getting a new armrest for the car. It is the one with the 4 cup holders that pop out of it.

thanks!

Some people might feel it is over the top or not necessary. I kind of didn't want to do it, but It can always be changed.

Long time since I posted in this... really busy with studio and stuff, plus the new 240 needs my attention now.

Anyways... I finally got around to upgrading the armrest to the "rare" one with the 4 cup holders. It positions your arm in a better, more comfortable way compared to the lower version. I like it so far.

It looks shinny and differnet because I just finished cleaning and protecting it.
there is no downside...

Later.

Also they will come out and go back in by them selves with time. They wear out inside and then will slide very easy.

I like it was just warning you about the future. LOL

Thanks. I notice the trays slide very easily... Nothing I can't modify
Cant have these sliding out when the car is at the track, can we now

I am glad I finally have some cup holders. even though these are a little small for some of the bigger cups... we'll see how it goes.

She wants to be released properly. It really needs a LSD. I am trying to do alot of research on the 850 M56. But keep coming up on dead ends. I really want a OS Giken diff. But if they do not already make one I will have to ship them a tranny and it will cost 6K for them to make me 2 of them.

The Giken diffs are way better than the Quafe ones. If some other company's used the same diff and they already make it the price would be like $100.00 or more cheaper than the Quafe and a better diff.

It wants to spin through 2nd and the torque steer is almost out of control even in 3rd gear.
