OK.....I am officially curious.

kma5783 04-11-2012 09:17 PM

There's actually a hint in one of the interior pics that I posted in the beginning. Let's see if anyone can spot it.

Nope not Alcantara, that shift boot will actually be changed soon to match.

And yes the car was bought with most of these mods on it, that is admitted almost immediately in the thread. The build thread part of it is more for what's to come in the near future.

Rotr8 04-11-2012 10:19 PM

ok, cool, I hear ya

HockeyRX-8 04-11-2012 10:27 PM

Upgrading the speakers?

Nope no reason to pull out the whole interior just for that...

VRExile 04-12-2012 12:06 AM

Hmm very interested now. Loving the car by the way. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

9krpmrx8 04-12-2012 12:31 AM

Series II cloth seats and door inserts :) Love your car man, good luck with your build, hopefully you don't have to play the waiting game like me :(

dlum125 04-12-2012 01:02 AM

A cage!!!

dezau 04-12-2012 08:12 AM

Was this Christine/Kuro's car?

It looks a lot like the same lol.

tcole6 04-12-2012 08:27 AM

Well whosever it was, they did a nice job. That car was gorgeous right off the truck, right down to the purple lugs.

Congrats, can't wait to see what you do to it.

Nope that's what was in it, now those seats are in my Living Room lol.
Yea hopefully, I have to figure out exactly what I'm doing first, I keep going back and forth haha. When are you supposed to get the Turbo back?

Yup...Bought it from her early last year and had it shipped down to Tampa.

9krpmrx8 04-12-2012 04:27 PM

Well it has been a month and a half, it was supposed to go out to me last week, now apparently it's a delay at the machine shop so who knows when I will get it.

I have been wanting a set of clothe SII seats, I like the way they look/feel and they are light. In fact the factory cloth seats are lighter than the Sparco's we put in Hoss-05's car.

That sucks man, hope they come through soon.

One of the local guys is interested in them, if he doesn't buy them I'll be posting them up for sale.

kma5783 04-12-2012 04:48 PM

Check out post #2 for an update :D

Yes I know I have to get some new plastic inserts for the seats.

9krpmrx8 04-12-2012 04:52 PM

Nice dude, looks sick. Did you do the shift boot, doors, and console too?
