    Not everything can go right. I had removed my shift knob to remove the console for some minor jobs, it rolled between some other stuff, and when I picked them up, I dropped the shift knob.



    Not like this! Aaaargh!

    I am sad.

    I fear something like that could happen with mine any time I take it off.

    My condolences.

    Thank you for your kind words, Chad!

    空白のスレート (aka RR's new ventures)

    Not much happened, but I was extremely busy the past couple months, and I didn't find time ti update.

    I installed a pair of red seatbelts from a JDM S-special, and the leather NA8 seats from my previous car. But they were horrible, so I installed an NA6 one with speakers in the headrests from a Japanese model. I don't think any greek NAs came with headrest speakers.

    NA8 seat with res seatbelt


    NA6 seat.


    Also added a rear lower black carpet, because someone had swapped them to tan ones. I need to find the last piece of carpet in black, too


    Added some extra material for the inside of the sunglasses holder.



    Sold my Warbird Revlimiter gauges and put the stock ones back on(more on that later)

    Also added a slim subwoofer behind the passenger seat, and boy, did that make a difference

    Swapped the HVAC control panel from my previous NA.

    The reason is that the new one has an aftermarket A/C unit with an extra button in the dash, and not on the HVAC panel itself, so I swapped the one with the AC button.

    Also I had previously installed on it LED bulbs, which improve functionality and the looks of it.

    And finally, because I received an AWD panel, and I installed it on the spare I had so I could be sure it was done correctly.






    And the biggest improvement: GEN 3 Revlimiter Warbird gauges with red tach face. Simply stunning!


    And of course, as always, my photos suck.

    Small update.

    Sent the centers of my RS8 wheels to be media blasted, then DIy painted them, sent them to have Toyo R888 I found used with low mileage mounted, and added them on the car.

    Finally the seats arrived. Not in the greatest condition, but like everything I own, will never be perfect.

    Now waiting for a LE dash from mr. SnS, to be shipped half way across the world, and my interior is complete again.
