Westy Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Managed to get a bit more work done on the interior this weekend...first up was the UK speedometer dial. The dial itself was a breeze to fit and IMO it looks 100% better than the j-spec dial with a sticker over the KPH! Before After The issue now though is that the speedo dial is reading the signal from the converter wrong and the yellow KPH is reading the correct MPH...meaning the MPH is reading rather low compared to my actual speed! I raised a thread regarding which wire would require to be bridged to bypass the converter but as yet no answers are forthcoming!? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?291732-HELP-Speed-Converter-Delimiter-Issue Whilst the dash was out I also changed the ignition barrel light from green to red to match the footwell lights: Today I popped up to Liams to crack on with fitting the black headliner. I'll let the pics say the rest: Grey headliner: Liam getting involved: Race Spec!lol! Black goodness I did plan to put the Recaros in aswell but after a long day in the sun I thought a cold cider was a better option! Hopefully I can get this speedo issue sorted ASAP and then I will look at refurbing the dash panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I am disappointed in myself for not noticing this. All I'll say is there is nothing wrong with male bonding if that's the sort of thing you're into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Eagle eyes amongst you may have noticed that the rubber grommet had popped at the bottom in the above pic! I did and it was driving me nuts so I tore everything out again and re fitted it nice and flush. Didn't have any issues like this with the one on the black car but it was the previous design...everytime I tightened the large nut on this new design the grommet popped off at the bottom as it seems to be the point of pressure. Possibly the rubber has lost some of its flexibility over its 19 years in the Japanese sun!? Nevertheless it's on properly now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 I agree! Obviously I gave the metal a quick buff up with some metal polish and that's what's made all the difference!haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Obviously! Here's a question: Why do you not have a garage entry for your bronze car? It's begging to be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 What do you mean mate!? Build another garage for the bronze car!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Sorry, that was a bit ambiguous... No I mean garage as in "My Garage" as in "View my Supra" on this very site of ours. Your black car has it's own space, I reckon your bronze one ought to too. Of course you COULD build another garage by your house as well...!

Westy Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Tried to create a garage when I got this car mate, but I can't do it for some reason and can't add any pics into the garage for the black car either...!? Most likely reason is that I've or gotten how to do it right!lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
