that looks great jay....



did you finish it up for your carshow at jacob javits center?

 

Jay, I didn't see that you fastened it anywhere on the back side.

If your only using instant glue and some bondo around the edges to flush it in. Aren't you worried about pushing the board through when using the buttons?

And how close does the paint texture match the stock stuff? It looks good. Is yours '93 or '94 interior?

 

Wow! That looks wicked...more pics when you've got it all installed.

 

the whole time Im seeing this or any other interior projects like this

Im thinking how some epoxy resin should be used instead of polyester, let alone

super glue and bondo.



I think he used some polyester resin "gelly", according to the pic of

the materials he used.



Polyesters dont hold up well when bonding plastics together, its only the interior

panels, so it wont be too bad though.

 

just a thought, why keep the same display type? if u could find an lcd of different color with same size/ pixels it would be nice... u can always change voltage levels going through the wires with resistors if needed...



i just think the green display sucks..

 

I agree that If i did mine. I would be using epoxy.

 

looks hot.

I fastened the board with the existing 2 screws... when you put the console back, a little part of the circuit board that sticks out gets sandwich between the console and center section....



I didn't cover the back side yet, but will leave it for now since it is sealed and that it also heats up a little coz of the lights and resistors on the board..



I used crazy glue to put the plastic in place, used the fiberglass resin to permantely hold it in place then used bondo to smooth the top portion out... It's very stiff, so i'm not worried... that's what I used for the A/C relocation and I haven't had any problems since I'm always resting on it..



I have a 93.. but I painted most of the plastics w/ the textured paint, i'm just trying to finalize everything... I'm not sure if it would match the 94/95 plastics since I never really looked at the pieces.. But a lot of people at meets and shows swear my pieces look factory...

 

I agree, but I don't think i'm qualified to do this.. I don't think I want to..



There is a post on the other forum about a mod to change the display to blue, not exactly like the AFC or AVC R...

 

Here is where the display was mounted... I had to finish everything in time for the show... I only have pics from Urbanracer at this time.. I have to get the other pics off my camera... so sometime tonight...



Not the best pic of the display.. but you can kinda see it on top of the steering column..
