DREW RBZ Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Very cool to see the dash resto. Can you tell us what you used for the final filler and what the paint is (textured?). I am very curious to see how it holds together once back in the car exposed to heat, cooling etc. Keep us posted. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richracing Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 After sanding the foam down, I used some plastic bumper repair epoxy, then a thin layer of filler glaze to finish it off. Hopefully it holds up. If not, I just redo it using fiberglass or if I'm lazy... just buy a dash cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richracing Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Oh, and the finish that I used was Duplicolor bedliner spray. It is slightly more textured than oem, but that is probably because I held the can about 1.5 foot from the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richracing Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Did some test fitting today. With this turbo manifold, slight hammering or notching of the strut tower is required as the turbo barely touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richracing Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I've been jumping around a bit, waiting on some small pieces for the engine, so I pulled the gas tank out, drained it, and waiting for the gas vapors to air out... Meanwhile, I installed my Arizona Z front brakes. Before... After... With my 15" wheels on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richracing Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Well, I didn't realize it at first, but the Mckinney mounts I bought used were made for the 240z... So I just made my own transmission mounts using the oem L28 trans mount on the rb25 transmission. Crappy cell phone pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richracing Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thanks. Haven't touched it in a couple weeks since I've been out of town, but I did purchase these tan rsx seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravityflyer Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks. Haven't touched it in a couple weeks since I've been out of town, but I did purchase these tan rsx seats. Nice. The tan will complement the blue paint nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helghast7 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Your gonna love the wideband. I have one too, its ridiculously accurate. I went to tune with my old FD, my tuner asked me how much i paid because it was reading exactly what his dyno was picking up and just as quickly.
