for real though.. my dash gauges aren't even hooked up.. just in there so it's not empty.. i should really do a carbon inlay with a nice tach someday..
Hahaha, I figures it was a dumb question since your car is strictly track. I was looking at a 330 for my FC, but since it's my DD I'd kind of like to see most if not all of my gauges.

I just did the dry ice method. Used about 4 bags of it, crushed it, spread it onto all the material, let it sit for about 30min, came back and just chipped it all away with a hammer and a flat head screw driver. I just ended up spray can painting the floor but it turned out great. The whole process only took about an hour.

i felt it to be the same way as the lhd... driving my homies rhd fd, everything was the same, except i wanted to go to the right more than the left... but i seem to go to the left more than the right on imperial setup. guess it just has something to do with cockpit positioning.

^ The man has two rear bars and my bet would be they are connected to a pipe welded in between the two rear struts. Better than the bolt on business. Correct me if I'm wrong though, hard to see thru the diamond plate.

Suppose I should contribute....nothing much plain and simple to the look, but what you can't see under the carpet and dash:

I took out all sound deadening and the padding for the carpet. So, it's just the thin layer of carpet to cover it up since I didnt want to paint the metal. I also took out the entire ac system, gutted the AC box under the dash. Relocated the ecu to the side. Then a relocated battery behind the passenger.





I like to keep this car as comfortable and stock looking inside as possible. A cage will be in the future and mess all that up though lol
