I've seen that thing for sale but I couldn't figure out where it went on the car. Well now I know, BUT..... Now I want to know what the point of it is. Just looks?

The hole issue has been remidied. The original car that we took the holes from had the hose coming up from the bottom. We sold those in 3 days (the first 12 units) so we didn't have a chance to fix that issue. It has since been corrected.

hey you know what fc3s.org should do, because for the s4 we dont have that coolent thing right there, its on the side wall, so you should make 2 different panels...one with the hole an one without it. just a suggestion

1986 RX-7s have the coolant reservoir on the strut tower. Most RX-7s after that have them behind the bumper like in the pictures posted above. Doesnt FC3S.org have 2 different versions available? One with the coolant reservoir holes and one without them?

Yea, that is nice. Is it made just for that purpose, or did you just find one that digitally displaiys your speed and just rig it there. I have done it before with my radar detector.

I was the guy who pm'd you asking for the pic- looks nice in there- and that HUD looks pretty cool. And he couldn't have rigged it there- the letters/numbers have to be reversed so they will be seen correctly in the relflection on the windshield. So yes, it is made just for that purpose.

Defi makes the hud. i think they retail for like $200, i got mine for $175 because i helped the guy who runs the store i hang with.

it displays either speed or tach reading. the tach is worthless to use because i cant get use to reading anything but analog rpm... the speedometer is real helpful though.

i want to cut a hole in my dash and hide the actual unit so it looks more stock like the S13 240SX models come with. right now it looks really outta place.
