Hi all.I own this car about seven years and finally i found the time and decide to finish it this year.last month i did paint it and i decide that the interior does not much with the car anymore.So i'm going to make new dash with cobalt gauges,put a decent stereo,speekers etc,new carpet,new roof,new rear seats and i'm going to replace allmost everything with new parts or repaint....even bolts...at the end the target is to be like new car interior....

the first photos are from the first day i bought the car and strip the interior...

 

new paint...

 

Dynamat extreme...

 

The heater is cleaned and i did replace the foam...also some new parts...

 

Some of the cobalt gauges and the rx8 illuminated ****....

 

The dash and the new gauge cluster

 

Some progress....

 

boost controller with remote button and clifford alarm with remote start...

 

looks great so far how did you make the cluster and the gauge pods

 

I did measure the gauges,5'' for the big ones and 2-1/16'' for the small ones,drow it at blanc paper and laser cut...

 

Looks GREAT! Did you use any special paint, like lizardskin or something? How much dynamat did you use? I'm looking at doing this and I want to try to get a good layer of heat and noise reducing material on the interior of mine.

Love the dash too.

 

Actually the car was rust free,kept on a closed parking from new by an old guy that he can't have a licence any more so i did use the paint of the exterior...B545P(HONDA OEM COLOR) blue/black...as for the dynamat as i remember i did get from us 2 boxes but can't remember exactly the measurement's...i think was the bigest on the market back then...

 

Delivered today,new oem door pins and the fuel level gauge...

 

almost ready the fiberglash at dash,center console and the new spot for the commander for the apexi pwer fc....also did get the new tachometer....

 

Also did replace the door pins...

 

Today i receive the gps signal for the tacho,the door seals and did finish the commander spot....

 

The new blue/black alcantara dash....

 

All wires are new and the dash is on...

 

searching the right angle for the gauges at the passenger's side...

 

Looks amazing Man U mentioned you have back seats I'm trying to install some in my 85 and can't find the mounting hardware for it and I was wondering if you can shoot me some pics of the brackets for it thx

 

I will not use the oem back seats so i did remove all the brackets etc...will shoot and post it here...you can also check the parts manual...that help me many times...

 

If your willing to sell all the brackets and stuff i would be Intrested in buying

 

I will found them on monday when i will go at my store and speak again

 

Some progress...the kill switch for the battery and some more parts with the blue alcantara are ready....

 

nice work going on here.

how did you modify the shift **** to illuminate?
