Im trying to buy an FD dash for my FB

I already have the center console :)

let us know when u start id like to see that

What are you going to do for the ends of the dash. IIRC the FD dash meets with the door panels for a smoother look.

I will make custom door panels with foam and fiberglass, then covering it with the same material as the dash (a fake leather from what I can see). I will use the plastic parts like the pocket, handle, combo switch etc. That will give it an integrated look.

Heres a cheap miata dash

Hey, keep us posted about the whole 3-in-7 dash conversion deal, I was actually thinking of doing the same thing myself...

I for one think that's a great idea, miata dash in the FB. My dad has a 1gen miata and I like the simplicity/moder'ness of it... and I had to mentally slap myself for not thinking of this for my FB. I'll be taking some measurements when I go home for christmas.

After seeing a new Miata Cluster.. I can see the beautiful elegance of it.

Do their oil gauges work in the NC miata's? I know the NB's didn't.

Wow, I like the Miata dash. :icon_tup:

I think newer dashes look like cat poop and dumb compared to SA and FB dash. (being silly lol)

The original dash's are works of art and represent a moment in time and a certain feeling unique to the vehicle.
