Agreed. Do the card tops

wow that's a beautiful build. Subscribed. Are you doing anything with the seats?

Yeahhhh... At the moment, no. Recovering them in vinyl is the cheapest option, and most likely what I'll end up doing. My ideal choice would be tan Elise seats, but there's no way that's happening. I appreciate the compliment!

I bought 93LE red seat covers with perforated inserts from them - the skins arrived from Kurachi, Pakistan. The leather is soft and supple, but the fit is a 7-8 out of 10, but I could certainly live with it. They've been on the car for about a year of nearly daily driving.

For the price they are ABSOLUTELY worth it! However, they may not be of the fit & finish quality of leatherseats.com or other vendors, but they are 1/3 to 1/2 the price. I'd buy from them again.

Yeah, looking at the photos on Interior Innovations' site, and especially customer photos, fitment looks horrid...

I would rather go with vinyl if it means no loose material.

That is my biggest complaint about the majority of aftermarket replacement seat covers.

Painted my valve cover VHT wrinkle black and replaced the valve cover gasket. My intake crossover tube was bothering me as well. It's meant for an NB, so the fitment was never perfect and it rubbed against my hood. This hadn't caused any problems yet, but I decided to bash in two dents to stop the rubbing. Wrapped it in DEI tape for potential heat reflection (primarily to cover up the two black marks left as a result of the hood rubbing though.)


Installed the Project G oil cap that I picked up while in Hawaii and sanded off the red anodized finish off of my Tanabe strut bar. This took forever, but no tacky faded red under the hood anymore.

Replaced my OEM brake pads with Hawk HPS the other weekend. OEM were shot after last MATG last year.

Also picked up a Zoom Engineering fuel lid which was installed along with a "restored" rear EUNOS badge.

Took a drive yesterday evening.

Square shoulder of those Falken's is making me have mild second thoughts about my Dunlops.

Nice photography, too!

Thanks! Dunlops were very nice when I had them, but they were a size wider which looked fat on 14x7. I quite like them including the look, but these Azenis are great as well. Not as sticky which is more fun on a naturally aspirated roadster.

This is a great build! I'm guilty of getting too caught up my own stuff to see a lot of theses. Very, very well done! I love the execution of the custom touches, they aren't easy to pull off as well as you have done them. I love that NC BP license plate, one of my favorites.
