If you don't mind me asking... How much did the suede and stitching cost you? It looks great.

The whole build looks great!! What are your plans for the car? Track/street?

Well after a long think about the interior Scheme*
I decided you can't go past a super clean old skool factory interior with some modern items.plus you hardly see a mint series 5 interior these days*

So I started searching high and low for
A clean az dash and door trims.
Didn't find to many and the ones I found * *Were ok for a 21 year old dash but weren't mint so the search continued.
Until I received a email from our awesome friend Jesse streeter *saying he tracking a mint cond dash and trims
For a decent price..!!
So money was transferred and the dash and door trims made the big trip from J-land to aus..*









Just waiting for a parcel from the U.S with some OEM trims vents etc

Anyways stopped at the polishers to see how everything goin..
Grabbed a quick shot of intake goin through it stages not 100% finished but gettin there

Completely welded inside and out
With 3 EGT sensors welded into each exhaust port runner for tuning.

This build never ceases to amaze me. It's great work here, man. Cannot wait to see what else is in store. Absolutely LOVE the Racepak and carbon fiber holding panel. Where did you get the CF panel made??

And maybe I didn't catch it earlier, but are those dual RE-Amemiya dolphin tails?!

Turbo back

and also the gearbox arrived back with the OS GIKEN gear set put through it
and a check and replace anything that was worn.



going to mask it up and paint it soon
