new insides

**sonic temple** · 01-25-2012, 11:16 AM

have posted for a while so i thought i would have an update

got hold of some nice gen 5 gt4 leather seats , all were good but the drivers side was worn and ripped so after a little hunt got hold of some near mint gen 7 facelift premium leather front seats

(blob on bolsters is fluff on my phone)

this has now given me spare seat parts so i am currently fitting the leather front headrests into the rear , rear bench has been fitted now as well

while i was 'shopping' got hold of a near mint dash , as mine has lifted around the vents , and also some uk clocks as my jdm ones have the limiter fitted , just adjusted the miles so they are now correct , bought some plasma dial faces and have a real carbon surround on order

just got to re cover the door cards and fit it all !!!

rears finally in and fitted properly

just got to wait to get the re-colour black to match the fronts

Do you have to do any mods or do the front seats just bolt up?

**sonic temple** · 01-31-2012, 06:22 PM

got to cut off the locating tabs of both sets of seats (the things where the bolts go) , and then weld the 7 seats onto the 5 tabs , done the same when i put gen 6 interior in my old gen 4

Thanks for the information, my seats are gray leather, the back is good but front driver side is gettin pretty bad. Those front seats are awesome. head rests in the back look great as well.

new (UK) dials now fitted , plasma gauges , real carbon dial surround and chrome rings

just got to save up and replace the helix/3m vinyl dash parts with some mimoUSA ones

find me one of those clusters, and ill buy it from you

**sonic temple** · 02-23-2012, 08:31 AM

its only a standard toyota cluster , with some ebay carbon , and white ebay dials added

finally finished , added some slot car toyota decals to it , and have started wrapping the reat of the dash in fake leather

yeah, but yours is a 9k tach while im stuck with an 8k

**sonic temple** · 02-23-2012, 02:06 PM

this is the reason i changed the original jdm clocks , they only went up to 120mph as the cars are limited in japan at 112mph , uk clocks knock out the limiter and have 160 mph clocks and the plasma dials only came in 160 (st182) or 180 (st185) mph readings
