    G limited seats (are the eunos equivalent of '95 m edition seats) can be found and are a whole lot cheaper than 1001's, and they will fit USDM butts. Plus their suede color is similar to 1001's.

    Interesting. I'll have to research this further as they might be a possibility. But the seat bottoms look similar to the NB seats, which don't respond as well to the foamectomy treatment.

    Autolinkuk have a set of G-Limited seat covers for virtually spare change

    I expect the passenger side is near mint. All you need is a pair of wrecked M-Edition seats.

    Custom made in Japan about 10 years ago. It uses the same toggles switches as all the Nielex / RS Products stuff and the same bulb lenses as the KG Works meter panels. It's soon to get swapped out for a blank plate from Roadster Tech but Randy already has first dibs.

    Freedom, good to read about your build again, it's very well put together!

    You need to link your minkara carview in your signature or something, it's a really good page!

    Keep up the good work. Your car from back in the day inspired me more to expand my knowledge for the finer parts from Japan. I like that switch panel so if Randy is feeling generous....

    Mmmmm. Toda cam gears :drool:

    Surprised you kept the front CAS as opposed to keeping the stock NA8 one in the rear.

    *Edit* Saw your super nifty crank pulley and over-all badass-ness of your engine. So it's not so surprising after all. lol
