Heres how clean under my carpets is

That's the one thing i've not done in the FB. I dont ever plan on doing it.
ah - first glance i thought the front carpets were cut.
My understanding is its easier to pull the windshield than the dash, and spray from above. Can't speak from experience tho - just passing rumors down the interwebs. I know i've bumped up against that project several times - every time i've backed out cause its so many damned bolts. and hidden bolts behind stuff you can't find.

I've been meaning to rewire mine like that for a while. Just haven't gotton around to it... I've pulled the Dash in my 83's a few times and it's not very hard. I've also pulled the dash in a FC and it also wasn't terrible. The S3 dash shouldn't be all that hard either, I'm sure you can manage it.
Black interior's look great so it'll be worth the effort.

Damnit dood now you made me want to pull mine What all did it entail? I've already got the shifter and everything off.
Maybe you could show a back pic of the dash and highlight where the bolts are?
I want to get in there and clean out the ducting. First time i opened my vents up i got a face full of dirt. Ew. I'm curious about this ignition wiring. What sort of a relay will you be using? I'd love to see a bit of a writeup on how you dun it. (or is there one you're referencing?)
I'm going to be doing the power window relay while my interior is out for sure. I like the ignition idea.

There is a good thread in the archive about adding relays to the ignition switch here: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-arch...inking-922262/

I will post more details about the relays when i get that far.
I pulled out the original carpet today and test fitted my black carpet. The new carpet is from an 80 and seems a little too long in the front, i cant seems to pull it forward enough to get the dash mount to line up 100%, but looks good so far none the less, still gotta clean it up more though.
