I was thinking along similar lines to that. I want to pick up a spare S14 dash and try to wrap it in suede. But If I get another S14 for DD status I want to do similar to your idea. I'd be happy with that interior, sweet 17x9(.5)'s, JIC coil-overs (softer spring rates) stock fenders (rolled only) and OEM aero.

Thanks, I'm trying to get it finished and take it out for the first test drive tonight. I was to lazy to do much to it afterwork yesterday.

I had to do the same thing last sunday. Taking the starter/altornator out makes it easier. I have a spare S14 manifold if you want to buy it.

Fedex dropped off my tires. 4x 245/40/17 Star-Spec's. No idea where my wheels are, though

Are you sure those are re-wrapped S14 seats? if so I guess maybe the kouki seats were different than my zenki's because I did NOT have a handle like that on the side.

Also, Suede on a dash is not a good idea, in Fl especially, unless your willing to maintain the suede almost monthly in order to keep it clean and soft. I have been doing lots of interior research lately. I want to do Diamond stitch inserts on my seats and door panels as well as a suede headliner.... G/L

Yea, the guy spent 500$ on the covers alone, and they are in a kouki.

If I do a suede dash it would be in my car when it gets gutted. For a DD I would look into leather similar to the seats. I'd also tint the windshield with clear tint which would help some with UV rays.

Oh and my power steering cooler set up arrived today. Wohoo for more parts.
