Hey guys,
Well I've made my decision for sure, S14 240sx it is. I've even sent out a few queries to dealerships from autotrader.. hopefully one of them will give me an OK guesstimate on my tradein value, and I'll be off <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
I know this is really random, but does anyone have pictures of the center console (radio area *and* down by the shifter and back) from an S14?
I'm going to be doing alot of work to this car *immediately* to get it up to speed to be the project car for my shop, and part of this includes a little fiberglass work for that area. I realised a little bit ago reading that S13 interior post that I don't think I've ever really seen the interior of an S14.
If it's similar to the S13.. I'll give you an idea of what I'm talking about.. on the S13 in the general area of the E-brake and such there's that compartment.. that I assume is an ashtray/somthing or other.. if there's something similar on the S14, I was thinking about fiberglassing in a new bottom for it and using it to house an APEXI PowerFC Commander.. oh, random thought, but I haven't seen alot of people using an all around ECU management system like that.. anybody on here use the PowerFC and the boost controller to do it all?
Anyway, back to the fiberglassing.. then, depending on how the radio area is laid out, I was planning on fiberglassing in a 5" or so LCD screen (navigation like), and just leaving a single DIN area for a new headunit.. here I'm worried about height issues and visibility. If the air conditioning controls are above the headunit and all and it's dented in a little like I expect it is, I'm wondering if the screen would be visible enough to be useful, or if it would be a hinderance to my driving ability.. and if so, have any of you guys put screens in elsewhere?
Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I know these are some silly ass questions.
