LOL, yea, I plan n putting the garret turbo. Its basiclaly the same block as the K8. I was just going to put the KLZE (the JDM 2.5L 200HP) in it and be done with it, but I wanted somethign a bit different. The KLZE conversion is actually just as easy. Ive already put the KLZE in 3 of my friends cars, but I like originality. Ive done a few mods to the motor, bigger Intake manifold, bigger throttle body, phenolic spacers, ect. I should be close to 190-200 right now, before the turbo. In my other one which is a 4cl.. Im putting the BPT from a 323 GTR in that one. Come on over the MX-3.com forums, we have many BP/K series guys there.

but how about the seat trim, did you make as a cover or did you sew it directly onto the seats ?...it is really topjob on that.
i have thought about this my self, but was not sure on how to do it....

could you elaborate on how you made the custom bracket for your LCD? Does it retract?

**londonese** · 11-20-2004, 08:14 AM

All the seats were taken out, the fabric and all the foam stripped off, and using the original fabric, the pattern was cut out from the new material and sewn together. It's all done as if it was original, you can't just remove it! And it really wasn't easy!!! I know now why professional companies charge so much to retrim a car's interior, I wouldn't do it for their price!

The LCD bracket thing is quite simple. . I'll have to take more photos, but it's just 2 chunky bits of MDF, one bolted into the empty DIN slot and the other on the back of the screen. In between are two heavy duty, folding and detachable door hindges. Works well for me! If a little crude! But it only look me about 2 hours to make
