The gauge pod was from a group buy on here a while back organized by MattH. Try http://www.j-spec.co.uk. The gauges were from Jamie at JW Racing.

As for the Interior Paintwork, it was done at the place where i work, Spraytech Coatings in Darlington. We do all types of plastic and Metal Coatings so the interior bits were a piece of ****!!!!!!

if you speak to nito at nitosport he will have a carbon kit for your car and if you speak to him nicely he will most probably fit it as well as they are on an exchange basis and need to be in tip top condition looks the nuts as well

Have a MY96, got rid of seats for some tasty leather buckets, just need to get door cards trimmed to match.

Now fed up of looking at boring dash, has anyone put in a dash kit from Nitosport, Graham Goode or anyone else? If so, got any pictures and how easy are they to fit.

Failing that, has anyone fitted the Momo handbreak as mentioned in the other post on here to a MY96 or similar? Got to start somewhere!

Thanks

Chris

I got mine from Grade-A Subaru, speak to Andy on 01663 744 114, he's a good lad and will help you fit them if you can drive all the way down to Derbyshire. Has all different types of bucket seats coming in all the time, expect to pay about £350.00 to £400.00 plus VAT though.

Alternatively, keep an eye out in the for sale section, they're usually snapped up pretty quickly so you can't hang around.

Not only do the buckets out of a later model look much better, they also offer much more support, so for pre-97 scoobs like ours, they're a must have.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Chris I have changed dash for set from Nomad racing, white dials for day time and electro luminescent (spelling) at night, it looks like an indiglo watch, bright blue but also has greens and a dimmer, looks excellent, also got momo gear **** and nito leather gaitor with chrome surround, I'd definitely recommend the gear surround as the standard looks naff. Thinking about spraying up the surrounds but got brakes and bits to sort first. No pic's I'm afraid but if you set interior to last 30 days you may find dash pics, if not post again and I'll find the thread for you. Also dash involves no needle removal which is good

All three look quality and big improvement over standard trim, only problem is I'm not exactly handy andy and wouldn't dream of trying to do it myself.

Are there places that carry out these type of mods or should I give up now.

Mark, like the pillar gauges, where did you get them, how much, who can fit them etc etc.

Cheers

Forgot to say, do they do an alloy kit (not the right word, shiny metal.....you know what I mean) as opposed to the Carbon effect.

Anyone got any pictures of a kit actually fitted.
