I swapped out my carpet today, I have had this black carpet down in my basement for the last 5 years or so, maybe more?
I did not remove the dash. All in all I think the carpet can be swapped JUST FINE without taking the dash out. I have my gauges in the dash, a bunch of stereo and amp wiring, aftermarket ECU is all under there, I just did not want to bother. I was also afraid of plastics breaking. So a simple slit with the razor knife to remove a inch or so of material from the console forward and a little tuck here and there and I think it came out pretty good. I think one could do this job in under a hour. I took longer because I had to re-route all my stereo wiring. Since going turbo swap and relocating the battery my system was making alot of noise from running along side the 0 gauge battery cable. I have super lush black mats on order from Jason S, my seat brackets will be here this week so I can bolt my black leather/ black and red perforated microfiber mazdaspeed seats in, I also ordered black/red stichted shift, e-brake, and center console lid leathers from Redline. My camera fogged up a bit coming out of the AC office and into my hot shop. http://robx-7.nopistons.com/d/3449-1/carpet+002.jpg http://robx-7.nopistons.com/d/3452-1/carpet+003.jpg |

This is my winter project:
88 FC shell + Full Tamon wide body kit. Like this pic, cept with different hood(tamon) and black. What I can't decide on is the motor, I have a cosmo 13b-rew and another T51r kai sitting spare, but I kinda like the idea of a short 3 rotor pp, or a 4 rotor pp for this car with a Gt46 sequential transmission. I have a set of rpf01's but thinking to dated? Body kit comes end of september so I have to get the drivetrain underway.. Hmm.. |
I can see your winter project turning into a few winters!

I work fast!.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif
I am hoping for it to slow down this winter so I can spend a month or so in the shop. I think I am going to outsource about 50% of the body work as I hate it so damn much. While its out getting prepped and painted , i can knock off the drivetrain build I hope. |
lets not have too slow a winter- need to keep the cash flowing man

Hmm.. rpf 01's might be old but they still look good. tough call on the motors, we're headed toward 4 rotor PP, we're roadracing though. so turbo anything is kind of out |
got my mats, shift & ebrake boots in, along with the taller center console lid cover.
Going to take it out for a test ride now, its sunny and about 72 degrees out- perfect! http://robx-7.nopistons.com/d/3548-1/mats+004.jpg http://robx-7.nopistons.com/d/3551-1/mats+008.jpg http://robx-7.nopistons.com/d/3554-1/mats2+001.jpg |
