here's some pics of my S4 TII with j spec S5 block. interior mods are del sol seats(much better than stock), defi boost gauge, gauge holder panel, and almost full black conversion. engine bay is pretty basic just painted black and an efini strut bar(thanks poderrotativo). she needs paint and a new engine, the j spec starts great pulls hard but smokes like a bastard. fmic is in progress, stealth mount and intercooler pipes are going to be fabbed next, but i haven't bought a TIG yet.

 

never seen the del sol seats before. cool idea.

 

here's some more

 

Nice!

 

Nice Job Man Every Time Im On Here And I See Projects Like That Just Gives Me Even More Hope For My Car Man I Cant Wait

 

thanks smokie i hope fc owners can step it up and try some ill ****. if you have a cool idea just try it out, as long as its reversible if it don't work out. i almost made my old crx awd so i guess i'm kinda kooky.

 

um...i dont think the bov goes in the ashtray compartment... lol looks nice man. it also looks like you have a s5 n/a gauge cluster. did you install it or was it there already?

 

i almost forgot my custom battery box that i welded, dont mind the block of wood i didn't make a tie down yet. there so much to do but i dont have shop access anymore. i also got some old school BBS rs wheels that look like efini wheels that are going on in spring.

 

haha i put it there so i could hear it better, that's an old evo8 bov that i just had laying around.no i installed the cluster myself, it was pretty easy except for the damn speedo cable.

 

behold the power of non-spillable batteries.

 

Nice work!! Hope to see it at some of the NYRA meets next year! I'm in the process of a TII swap, as well. Don't have much done yet though, just pulled the motor and tranny the other day.

lol - i must do the same!! but that's cool. what did you have to do with the speedo cable?

 

keep at it, where in ny are you from?

 

the speedo cable is just really short and to plug it in you need to have baby arms.

 

Looks pretty nice. Why did you place the boost gauge there though?

 

pistones i know im going to do something no has done just watch its going to be so cool that mazda is going to bring back the fc lol

 

i don't like pillar pods and i want a clean looking interior but still wanted it visible. it really doesn't block the tach at all, the needle sweeps around the perimeter of the gauge and you can see all the numbers fine. plus i don't want to spike so i keep an eye on my boost. i was gonna put my wideband there but i got the new ngk afx and the diplay is square so i'll probably put it in the dash somewhere. custom install.. you'll see.

 

Nice car... awesome boost gauge. Good job man~

 

Tell me about the del sol seats. How difficult was it getting them in there? Did you use Honda rails? My brother has a del sol, and those seats are defintely superior to the stock FC seats.

Was that hatch cover, and speaker panels stock for T2s?

 

i think they were an option but im not sure if they were for the tubos......i have the speaker panels but not the hatch cover and mine is an 88 s4 TII

 

Yes, the hatch cover was an option for some FC's. It doesn't matter what model it came from, they all fit the same.

 

Infini, not Efini.

 

well pardone moi

 

rx7 FC TII: the cargo cover was available in s5's
