One of the latest style JDM binnacles now fitted to by Corns Roadster.

Got hold of this binnacle surround through a fellow enthusiast here in the UK last night.

I had seen it on Minkara Carview and to begin with thought it was a one off design done by a fellow Japanese enthusiast. However I then saw it on Yahoo Japan followed by my fellow enthusiast (Joe) here in the UK deciding to get one and putting it up for sale recently saving me the hassle of sorting through YJ which had been on my list to do.

As such given the nature this has not been done by a more 'mainstream' Japanese boutique roadster supplier I expect numbers of this part to be quite limited. I went for it as I have the Nakamae dash surround in my black roadster and whilst this is not to that standard it adds to the Corns Roadster where some useful 52mm gauges can be fitted, the fitment is good which surprised me for such as low volume product while thought has also been put to how the gauges are directed at the driver so they are clearly visible.

Here is the part before install.

That is awesome. I wish they had one for the NB so I can hide the bumps that I have on my dash from age.

Looks Great!!! I think that is made by TRAP, I remember reading his Minkara blog about making them.

That's AWESOME. I saw it a few weeks ago on YJ as well.

Doesn't Vinnie or Madaboutmx5s have one of those?

Ooops

Yeah it is similar to the Nakamae dash I have which may confuse you although the Nakamae dash is a more 'whole' dash replacement.

The information I have on this binnacle surround is from this info here on minkara which makes me think it is very much a low key effort even compared to the boutique suppliers in Japan like Nakamae, Trap, Zoom, etc.
