Looks great OP + 50 pointsBut faux carbon fiber... - 49 points.

Love the airbox.

Hmm, never seen those and I have read in nomours places those weren't acceptable points. The "correct" way that I was tracking was to install a bar just below the cutous for the belts behinde the seat and have the belts drape over the bar and then down to the rear of the floor. This way in a...

I was under the impression that mounting your harness like this was not recommended at all, as in a crash it could compress your spine?

Thank you

I didn't do it for stealth, I did it because I like driving in the mountains and turning left, a 3 pod pillar blocked my sight badly; I don't think my seat was in a driving position when I took that pic, YEARS ago. Also I used the factory vent so it looked more OEM than some cheap ass piece of...

Dash is the way to go. It doesn't obstruct your view on curvy roads. I made mine from the original center vent and fiberglass.

Well here it is.By the way, whoever says you can install these in an hour or two for a first timer. Yea I'd like to strongly disagree. Oh and does anyone know where you can get a single screw exactly like the ones used to secure the latches? The black alen head ones.

I think i'm going to do what i'm seeing in the next to last picture there since my CF hood needs to be pulled down a little more towards the front. What i'd like to see though is where the mounting points are / pins.

Yea I need some! It's hard finding good pics of 1g's with aerocatch hood pins installed. I'm trying to figure out the best spot to put them. So far I like just beside the pop ups.But since you can't weld CF back... i'd like to see what some other people did before I start cutting on a new...

Pwm?

In Germany (best I understand from the local guys) they never got a turbo version, just the NA 4G63. I only know because im stationed here in Germany. This however doesn't stop them, they buy the parts from us and what not to turbo theres, OR buy U.S. spec models off military members who get...

I know I have been wondering what the Galant VR-4 vents would look like mounted in a 1g hood... You can even buy carbon fiber or fiberglass copies of them from tunernation.

So you think the bolstering on the Tiburon seats is a good bit better than the OEM's then? What about in comparison to say 1g seats? (if you ever sat in them)

Looks much better than I thought it would when you first started the project.

Im stationed in Germany, currently in Afghanistan though lol. I do know a few Dutchland DSM guys.. I could ask if they got any corner lights for a 1gb there willing to sell and possibly hook you up with them. Although it might be easier to just get on some of the dutchland DSM websites and just...

"Should I weld myslef" Well, I know I wouldn't try that. Flesh and metal don't seem to fuse to well.To answer your question though, if you have never welded before in your life. No, do not try this on your own. Your saying "it's just sheet metal"...well just so happens thin sheet metal is...

I would have tried offsetting it some to avoid the hump. But at least it's functional.

Shit the thread started back in 2003....

When I see crap like this, I can't help but think "Why didn't I think of this years ago!?"

Thats a great idea, except theres no where around me that I can do that. (that I know of anyway)

^^^ Thats what I was looking for, thanks for putting your experience out there. I guess I will just save up for some Sparco or maybe Buddy Club seats or something,

Thats a good idea.

I would still like to get actual weight numbers from someone if possible. I have read online (since you know thats a reliable source) that the 1G cloth seats were 50lb each, Not 100% sure about that but they are heavy to not be power seats or anything special.

I was thinking the same, I know your a wise man and thanks for the pic and commenting on this thread. But seriously man if you get into an accident, the way your harness is right now will do more harm than good. The harness should be going straight back to either a dedicated bar or something...

wedge? Never heard of them, guess I will google it.I know you got a 2g but do you have pic's of them installed? Also any idea of there weight?

I was looking at these Megan Racing SEATS-BLACKThey recline, slide and look decent, and I am guessing they would weigh less than the OEM seats. HOWEVER since I would be partly buying them for less weight and partly for better bolstering. I am curious if anyone has these, if so what do you...

^ it worked, thank you!Gauge now works perfectly.

^ thanks, I was hoping someone knew of one off the top of there head... Oh well maybe I will get lucky and find one in the first few tries, though with my luck it will be the last one I test.

Ok, ran out and got the "add a circuit" thing 15min before the store closed :) now I just need to know which fuse to replace with it.

This defiantly sounds like the easiest solution. But which fuse should I replace with it? I ask because I just doubt that any would work. I am trying to keep wiring stupid simple so it was that or I was going to go with wiring it straight to the with a 1amp fuse and call it good. But I don't...

Ok so for the past month I have been trying to find this mysterious vacuum leak. I found some leaks via boost testing and fixed them but it didn't solve my problem, my electric autometer boost/vac (30-0-30) not only read very low vacuum it was not consistent. I narrowed it down I thought to the...

I think it's powder coat not paint. But you can get a similar result with wrinkle paint.

Awesome!

Could someone help me look for PC2 Polycarbonate Honeycomb?I found a few manufactures of it, but no state side vendors that would sell it in smaller quantities. I am thinking of using it to place where my stock fog lights were. Should look good, and protect my oil cooler and PS cooler when I...

Thats not TOO bad for what you get I suppose. I figure that coating on m Evo III manifold plus my heat shield should seriously reduce under hood temps. I am toying with the idea of maybe eventually upgrading to a FP manifold. I am just not sure if it's really worth it as the Evo III flows...

How much do they charge to do a manifold and turbo exhaust housing? I ask because they do not list pricing, they price based on what you want coated and I didn't see anything on there site that would give an estimate.

+ 1 for doing something original in the dsm world and classic in the rest.But IMO it just does not look right in our cars.

Thread is worthless without pics!

Very nice

My question still stands.... Did this swap/conversion take off any weight? And are you still doing the write up or has it been completed?

Hey we have the same FMIC.... I thought about cutting my bumper since only like 1/3 of it is exposed. But I can't bring myself to do it!

Well at least you didn't put a bench of a spoiler on it......oh wait nm

Ok, so would most agree this is a better quality hood than say a VIS?

So I am thinking about spending some of my tax return on a new hood. Thing is I can't decide what I want to do here. In the past I was thinking about getting a CF hood and having a body shop paint it to match the car as well.Considering the price difference does anyone know if there is that...

I would like to see the bottom side of the hood looks like.

Most people remove that ducting when they install a FMIC as it is in the way. But without one keep the ducting!The Talon grill has a plastic mesh with the eagle symble in the middle. IF the ducting is removed for above reasons I think it would let a little more air in but I doubt enough to...

Looks better than most IMO. But if I had a 2g I would only look at something like that if I seriously needed more airflow to my FMIC, Oil cooler, PS cooler etc. etc. Otherwise stock body FTW.

Eh, looks like your imitating the Eagle grill to me. Sooo to that I say just get the Talon's grill lol.Not a bad attempt though

Well I was driving around the other day with my wife and noticed a guy on the side of the street selling some shit out of his car. I noticed a set of black seats that look just like the megan seats without the name, so I pulled over asked a few questions and said #### it lol.$200 later I...
