fc3s interior swap to fd???

If you have to ask, then its way over your head.
Lots of custom work is involved. Its not a direct swap. This isnt like your swapping stuff from a Talon to an Eclipse. These are two different cars. Just cause they are both tagged Rx-7 does not mean that everything interchanges.

It's been done and it's a PITA....

OP : Please make one out of fiberglass and show us your awesome craftsmanship!

I believe Dragon did it over on nopistons. Good work, but it looks like the benefit is not even worth it.

Hmmm... this thread makes me think, we modernize a lot on the outside of the car but not much is done to the interior if any. Maybe I should start doing some R&D... Hmmm... we'll see.

my whole focus was the interior... Its the best part of my car. My boy has a subi and i was lookin on NASIOC and saw mods for microsuede custom door panels. not too hard, just miticulus... like everything else on a fc

just buy a FD....

Chaotic_FC 08-19-08 11:51 AM

some people dont have the money

jdmsuper7 08-19-08 12:07 PM

If you have the money to do a custom dash, you have the money for a FD.

AndrewAmazed 08-19-08 12:59 PM

woah the dude in http://www.importsnc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41455 even switched it to a right side drive eh.

but the doors seem kinda off, but i like the fd's gauges more, the rest...not so sure that it would "fit" the fc

how much do you think this is going to cost? (if you cant do it all your self) parts/labor (hours and hours of work) i would think this is for someone with a lot of cash (and a already built FC it would look stupid in a stock beater ass 7)

Chaotic_FC 08-19-08 03:26 PM

if i happen to already have a second gen, i would see it as quite nice to only drop like 1000 on an interior to make it that modern looking/

classicauto 08-19-08 03:33 PM

Black FD interior parts and cheap are not used in the same scentence.....its by no means a cheap swap.

Planning this for after the total CF widebody is done? Or wait.....is your engine rebuilt yet?

fcdrifter13 08-19-08 04:06 PM

Do you have the money saved back for that just in case rebuild, if not you do not have the money to do this.

J.MurdaFCs3 11-11-08 05:29 PM

does anyone have any pics of this swap still? the photos are deleted... I've been interested in seeing how it looks

SouthSideSlider 11-11-08 05:42 PM

it has been done and its rather hard to do personally i want to do it eventually.

Turbo II Rotor 11-11-08 05:53 PM

No shit it has been done, he just wanted to see the pictures.

shika805 11-11-08 06:05 PM

save your money...
