Let me go use the camera phone, it's a night so disregard the darkness...

Nick, what is that yellow dust on your surround ? It looks like pollen.

 

The camera absolutely sucks at night and the dim lighting inside the car doesn’t help!

i don't know!...it actually doesn't look near as bad in person as it does in the pics...its definately not perfect though....could be from sitting 6 years before i bought the car....hmmmm

maybe its overspray from the cheap paint job the former owner did. doesn't make sense though, the rest of the interior is super mint, and clean clean clean!!

i was thinking of either painting the center console, or doing the carbon fibre overlay mod (the proper way with clear coat afterwards)

Un-Official E-Brake Install Instructions

Disclaimer - these are in no way official instructions from Redline Goods unless either party suggests other wise. You're advised to use these at your own cost and I'm not to be held responsible if you tear/cut/etc anything to your shift boot in the process.

Some optional things you'll want to consider before you start...

• Do you want the plastic bottom half of the e-brake on? It does make a difference.

You'll need to do the following before beginning, gather the supplies;

• One Zip-Tie
• Wire Cutters/Scissors

STEP ONE

Put your boot on the e-brake as is, make sure you get the longer flap on the left and the stitches at the top, flip it inside out and take it off.

STEP TWO

Put the e-brake boot back on (and make sure the piece is straight and not inwards) and get it to where you want the hump to appear at (or the top of the boot).

STEP THREE

Apply the zip-tie and then cut the end off...make sure that you get as much excess of the zip tie cut off as possible and make sure the hump is on the bottom and the stitching is on the top as shown above.


STEP FOUR

After the zip-tie is on there as good as you can get it, start to fold the boot back over until the hump is shown and you can physically see the hump and feel it.


STEP FIVE

If you've ever 'rolled' your shirt over when you tucked it in then follow the same concept here, there's nothing to really tuck into (from what I could see) so I just rolled the bottom edges over and it looks like its going down into the floor.


Make sure everything looks good and is nice and snug, test the e-brake out up and down a few times and you're set...a few miscellaneous images below;

hey grimes, come to think of it, i don't think i've ever seen a pic of your car!

post pics, from what i've seen in your signature, it should be pretty sweet!

sorry that's a little off topic

Nick, I wasn't picking. Just didn't know what I was seeing.

Pics of my ride ( from 2002 ) are here:

nice ride grimes. i especially like how clean the engine bay is. make sure you update us all with the new parts!

im dying to post pics of my car, but i'd rather do so when im happy enough with it. won't be long! plus my car isn't running (never has since i got it a few weeks ago), but the replacement 12a is on its way soon, and my garage is too dark to take any quality pics anyways.

E-Brake Install Instructions on PAGE 2

 

Here are some before & after photos of my install. The camera flash made the leather look a few shades lighter than it really is. I am very impressed with Maciek's work.

 

Hi everyone,

two great new pics of the FB:






The previous discount code was INVALID, I pasted it wrongly and it was missing the last digit. Here's the correct code valid until March 31st: Y3R52GY4U93.

Thank you,
Maciek

 

Hi guys,

some new FB pics for you. This is our BROWN leather on an FB after two coats of neatsfoot oil which darkened the color a little but didn't really affect the stitching. VERY nice effect!
