Brothy Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 For some time i have been thinking of making some changes to the inside of my supra and i came up with the idea of ....... Blanking the radio and making it into a rally/drift style dash. So basically there will be switches for battery, fuel, ignition etc. What does everybody think about this ? Honest opinions please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I think unless the outside of the car matches, if not it will look cack imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Who the hell wants to flip 4 switches each time you start the car. Would put me off buying it if it was for sale like that. And it's a bit odd unless it's actualy required for a race car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 the dash is one of the best bits about the supra IMO the way it comes round the drive makes it feel its all about you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downimpact Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I think it could be alright, especially if you intend to track it/have big power. Probably not worth doing on a NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 A terrible idea. On a par with my local restaurant serving up shit sandwiches..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I think a better idea would be to have a board full of switches that each one has its own unique sound when pressed. Hours of fun! Thank me later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Don't worry about what everyone else wants, it's your opinion that matters. Ask yourself if you could really live without a radio though. I know I couldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I put a starter button in the roof lining in front of the interior light, I liked it but it was marmite to the forum, its all about personal taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines not worked for 6 years, I admit the whistle of the turbos gets a bit repetitive on very long drives but I don't drive it every day.

qwarrior Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 You gotta see Peter's (pbryant_knight) 300ZX. He's removed the centre controls and replaced it with an iPad. Now that's a dash conversion, touch screen control, sat nav and internet on the go. Toggle switches for a track car imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
