No, not one of Landon's. I bought a semi-precious stone sphere of lapis lazuli and made a shift knob out of it. I'm a geology grad so the rock shift knob really appealed to me.

Colt, those are some interesting gauges you have in the cluster, especially the tach. What else do you have on the Tach?

Cheers,
George

Agreed - more pics would be awesome!

I assume these are custom gauge faces? Any chance you would share where you got them made :fingersx:

Thanks they are custom speedhut guages. You can get them to pretty much whatever design you like if you contact them. Here's some more pics of them on and off (warning: car is swapped hence the logo on the tach. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have done the logo)

Colt,

Thanks for posting the additional pics of your instrument cluster. What are the lights in the tach? One looks like a shift light, but what are the others?

Cheers,
George

George,

The lights are all shift lights they go from bottom to top the first few are yellow and light up about around 6krpms, the last two are red and light up at redline which in my set up is 7200rpms. It also has a peak recall function.

What a shame that the only Spirit R in the country has a piston engine....

It looks sweet, just too bad it’s been bastardized.

True!
It was rebuilt thrice last time with brand new housing and rotors and A Spec Single Turbo kit. Then the car was sold on to someone else and he swapped it to a 1JZ with Tech2 Kit.

We have shit fuel and hot weather + no mechanic knows rotaries here thats why most FD’s in Pakistan are swapped to a 1JZ.

Welcome back AMP! What do you mean "nothing fancy." IMO, this IS fancy and done with great taste. The two rarest R1/R2 colors as well! Congrats, and welcome back!

The interior looks like it might be black. I'd love to see the seats in the same blue as the lug nuts. Now that would pop. (Same color as Ferrari used for the seats in their racing cars all through the 60's...)

I really liked your idea of blue seats so had them made by ESH...https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2d6afc3c3.jpeg

ESH does great work, sorry to hear them closing shop. I love my seats from them. Yours will looks awesome installed I have no doubt

Gen2n3 12-03-17 05:18 PM

Really...ESH closed up shop? That is a travesty! Austin makes some top stuff. I am sad to hear the news.

1dayrx7 12-04-17 01:58 PM

A pair of FD's ;) and CYM only 350. They look amazing for their age.

ESH is closing but the boys will still be doing FD stuff like Recaro seat covers etc. They just have another business they are focusing on.

Finally got around to playing with my new camera......I have a lot to learn but it's a start!
