I was being sarcastic guys, take it easy. my first thought is doing an fd dash as thats pretty nice. the reason I am asking is because my dash is currently out as I gutt the interior and weed out the harnesses. the plans for this car are track/ weekend duty. I was looking at aluminum dashes but thats a little over kill for what I want.

now that the thread is plagued...

who else has dash ideas? i like FC dashes, though dated and aged. i think a new one is in the $400 range. i could be off by $1000, though. new FC dash. mmm.

I know you were kidding santi.

seems the plauge follows my threads.

the reason I posted this was I couldn't find any threads about this on here or teamfc3s. I have been told that fd conversions have been done and I just want to see what anyone else has to say about the subject. I should get a title of not a ricer honest since my posts make it seam that way but I am far from it.

the dash is currently out so now is the oportune time to act on this urge to change. although a black s5 dash would do just fine if I could find one.

I know this is an old thread, but I saw a vid. of a FC with a n/a 20B and I notice it had a FD dash. I was wondering if this is you and how you did it. The dash on the FC is the only thing I hate about them.

I have seen many a dash switch. Some look like crap and others were wow. I believe 2000+ Miatas dash can fit with a little tinkering. Saw some dude with it in Taco bell

yehh i think that the fc interior is dated and aged. bodykits can make a car look more upto date but the fc interior just looks damn oldschool. FD interior would b awesome.
