Well got my japspec clocks back off jim, so decided to refit my EL dials and rings onto my UK spec clocks. what a pain in the arse, and im not sure if ive fooked my needles up till the engine is running.

 

Also installed my new momentary switch into the cabin for the extended power switch leads i soldered on to my PC motherboard, going to get another one for the amp on switch that can be seen above it. its a chromed push switch that illuminates with a blue LED, there are some the same on ebay for a shocking £10, but got mine for just £4 posted. wanted a green one for the amps, but cant justify paying £10 for it, so might just get another.

 

Do how ever need to get a replacement trim panel and mount them again properly with out the extra cut out thats already in place.

 

I can now turn everything on in the boot from the cabin, bit of a pain in the butt having 3 seperate switches, but managed to minimize the ones in the cabin by hiding the power inverter on switch inside the arm rest.

 

 

 

Wheres you power/hold switch gone?

I like the EL dials :cool: I have been planning on getting some for about 6 months :lol:

 

Also the silver trim round the radio and auto looks good. Where did you get it from?

its a good place to put them, as there is lots of space behind for the rear of the switches, only thing is i need to get another gear selector surround to get rid of that oblong hole in between them, i think it was part of an old alarm immobilizer as it had a slot point in there.

 

Remus, the chrome dash trim was available on ebay last time i checked. it looks good in photos, but to be honest looks a bit tatty when up close.

 

Strange thing is, my last zed had a kind of red wood trim kit, i didn't like that too start with but it grew on me.

Ian,

 

Can you give me the link for the blue/chrome switch

quite deep at the back, but does look nice when installed.

Clocks look good with the plan backing.

 

Steering wheel from lightning?

yeah, i found it higher quality than the other MOMO that was on there. plus i think it looks nice and more suited to the zed interior

Did you get the kit from the US? Couldn't find any on ebay uk

 

I was thinking of getting the carbon version as my plastic trim on the right of the gearstick has a crack in it. Drives me mad every time I get in :headvswal I have wood trim in my BMW and I like it even though everyone tells me to change it :)

looking good mate. I love the fact that your fuel gauge reminds you to use only premium unleaded fuel.

yep, now for some drift iridium gauges in that center dash slot.

Looking good Ian:thumbup1:nice upgrade mate

Looks like the bridge of the starship enterprise!

 

Which is pretty damn cool in my opinion. I know some peeps don't like it when its all lit up like christmas, but I think the blue hue gives it a bit of cohesion. When I grow up, I want a car with a million buttons and flashing lights and lots of knobs to twist :blush:

Now to modify all the controls to touch screen, and get them done just like the star ship enterprise.

 

good idea thanks :D
