No, not one of Landon's. I bought a semi-precious stone sphere of lapis lazuli and made a shift **** out of it. I'm a geology grad so the rock shift **** really appealed to me.

Colt, those are some interesting gauges you have in the cluster, especially the tach. What else do you have on the Tach?

Cheers,
George

Agreed - more pics would be awesome!

I assume these are custom gauge faces? Any chance you would share where you got them made

Thanks they are custom speedhut guages. You can get them to pretty much whatever design you like if you contact them. Here's some more pics of them on and off (warning: car is swapped hence the logo on the tach. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have done the logo)


Headlights on:

Matching fuel press, wideband, and oil temp

Better pic of my **** lol

Colt,

Thanks for posting the additional pics of your instrument cluster. What are the lights in the tach? One looks like a shift light, but what are the others?

Cheers,
George

George,

The lights are all shift lights they go from bottom to top the first few are yellow and light up about around 6krpms, the last two are red and light up at redline which in my set up is 7200rpms. It also has a peak recall function.

What a shame that the only Spirit R in the country has a piston engine....

It looks sweet, just too bad it’s been bastardized.

True!
It was rebuilt thrice last time with brand new housing and rotors and A Spec Single Turbo kit. Then the car was sold on to someone else and he swapped it to a 1JZ with Tech2 Kit.

We have **** fuel and hot weather + no mechanic knows rotaries here thats why most FD’s in Pakistan are swapped to a 1JZ.

Welcome back AMP! What do you mean "nothing fancy." IMO, this IS fancy and done with great taste. The two rarest R1/R2 colors as well! Congrats, and welcome back!

I really liked your idea of blue seats so had them made by ESH...

Really...ESH closed up shop? That is a travesty! Austin makes some top stuff. I am sad to hear the news.

A pair of FD's and CYM only 350. They look amazing for their age.

ESH is closing but the boys will still be doing FD stuff like Recaro seat covers etc. They just have another business they are focusing on.
