FB Interior
 

I want to develop some products for the FB. I was wondering if you kind folk would post interior pics of your cars. I'd like to see pics of the dash, gauge cluster, center console, door panels...pretty much everything :bigthumb:

Thanks for your help.

when you say "make products" do you mean to make things to sell or just for yourself?

heres a picture of my interior (I should get some gauges to go above my cd player, would look alot cleaner)

There used to be an aftermarket stereo surround that included mounting holes for three guages and (drum roll) a slide-out CUP HOLDER! Build a well-designed one of those out of aluminum or stainless, offer it for under $50 and I'm sure you'll sell lots of them. :cool:

I am developing products to sell. As evidenced by our products for the FC and upcoming FD products, we want to offer quality stuff at reasonable prices.

As rotary owners ourselves, we found that a lot of stuff out there is either of poor quality or expensive. This didn't make sense to us since our cars are 15 plus years old. So we want to design and sell products that owners want/need plus offer it at a fair price--sounds altruistic, but most companies don't seem to understand that you can only charge what the market can bear.

Thanks for the pics so far. Keep 'em coming.

Pics of our idiot light gauge pod for the FC:

something I really want, would seem simple to make (I live in an appartment so...) would be a solid panel that would cover the entire center area of a series 3 dash. That way the owner can cut the holes themselves for the things they wanted in the panel, gauges, stereo, etc. I would love to have just a nice quality one piece "blank" for that area.

Yep, we are making that out of CF for the FC. I need access to an FB in Toronto to get a mold made. Pics are so I can have designs made--see how they look.

The stereo surround idea is a good one. If possible I'd like to see a unit with 2 1-din openings (the second one could be used for a pocket if you're not like me) and possibly a slide out cupholder.

I have a pair of head units (1's an mp3 player the other's a regular cd/radio) and I'd like to mount both.

possibly the 1din + gauge + cupholder idea would be neat too.

A billet heel+toe throttle pedal for us tall bastards that can't get the knee to contort under the steering wheel would rock too.

or something carbon fiber for gods sake.. gauge pods... i dont know what else

speckamp, what kind of mp3 player is that in the pic

I love the idea of a stereo surround. The FC gauge pod would be cool if there was a similar design to fit above the head unit to mount gauges i think it would look awesome!

that's a 30GB Empeg, aka SonicBlue Rio Car. They're not made anymore but you can occasionally find them on the electronic bay >:)

It's a Linux powered 1 din in dash automotive grade embeded mp3 player, it has a 30GB laptop IDE hdd and gets tunes squirted into it via ethernet, usb or serial... it's quite a sexy little bitch if I do say so myself :)

I would like:
-blank stereo surround (both 79-83 & 84-85)
-center console (cupholder behind armrest so elbow wont hit anything)
-kick panels, maybe attach to 4" for easy mounting, uncut for custom size

pretty sure there still is

rotorhead.ca i think
