went to go look at a used g37 coupe manual and test drove it. why the FK is the clutch so damn soft/light! I didn't like driving it at all. any of u guys with the new manuals how the hell do u guys do it? im disappointed. I love the first gens heavy clutch.

 

Some people need fancy shops to work on their cars, real mechanics get done wherever they can. In a parking lot a driveway, under a bridge. It doesn't matter just get it done.

 

^don't forget the shade. that's the most important part lol.

 

i work on my car while sitting in the waiting room. boss $hit.

new set of mirrors coming in since i couldnt find a mint driver side plastic piece. only paid 110.

 

Here are a few updates. Some pictures are repeats... But most are new. Those who have been following know I re wired my entire interior to accommodate a 06+ speedometer AND the clock trim... The dash from the 06+ was different than the 03. NOW before some say why spend the time modifying your 03 interior. Why not just swap the dash. YOU CANT JUST SWAP IT. ITS NOT THAT EASY. The 05 dash is shorter and a different swap it. If you do a full swap into your car the only thing you can really keep is the glove box. EVERYTHING ELSE NEEDS TO BE SWAPPED. (Dash, A pillars, Drivers kick panel, Door panels, Center Console, Waterfall, Double Din, and the Cubby pieces... ALL THAT WOULD NEED TO BE SWAPPED.

ANYWAYS. I found a dash from a totaled car and modified the center piece to fit into my current dash then covered it in suede. I also have WAY to much work wrapped up into carbon fiber to just swap it all out.

Here was what the interior looked like before the modding.


During


After... I have to stitch the lids though. I will be doing a black stitch on it.



06 gauge swapped in.

Swapped the LED's


Custom Steering Wheel



Rear cup holder.


Carbon Fiber Inlay on the door. (This is not my door, but this will be what is going on my car)



(this is a repost pulled off my build page)

 

that rear cf console is pretty cool

 

im diggin the inlay on the door.

 

Not really a carbon fiber fan, but it looks pretty unassuming with the all black interior. Looks pretty cool. I want an all black interior.

 

^that was a must for me. I could never settle for beige. I could sacrifice ext color or transmission but not the color of the int lol

 

Mine was such an impulse buy, I didn't even think about it. I went to buy a vette, but then realized two seats sucks.

 

I almost did that yesterday. but I knew I needed atleast a day to let it all marinate. so I just low balled them and they had no other option but to let me leave the lot lol

 

It would definitely be a fun car, but I was hating on the two seater aspect after sitting in it for a few mins. Not that I take passengers, but I gotta lean like a cholo, so the seats need to be able to recline.

 

My interior is going SUEDE and Leather

 

Everything is beautiful I'm looking forward to the finished product.

 

ME as well. It cant come fast enough. MY interior guy keeps messaging me pics but my car is still getting tuned so Im just kinda stuck waiting...
