nzae86's TRD ae86 N2 Race Car Project 2,

[nzae86]

Well it's not Christmas but a few more goods arived in the post today!



I can now get on to making my dash to take these gauges plus a few other things . As there will be no pasengers seat it gives me more space to shape the dash, which I will make from carbon fibre , I am going to build a mould from plywood and fibreglass , it will be quite different to the original dash.

This is the best project I have seen for a long time, mayby the best ever
I have the exact same wet dream with my project, but I think I will keep it a bit more down to the eath :wink:

But why not fit TRD gauges instedt of Auto Meter? And build a N2 look dashbord?

Hi thanks for the comments ,
I would like to fit TRD gauges to my dash but I haven't been able to find any at all , the problem with New Zealand is that we are so far away from the rest of the world , if I find some in the future the dash is something that will be an easy change .
Also with a very expensive motor, good easy to read gauges are a must !

I am delivering all the body work to the paint shop today , so some progress!

I have ordered my wheels to be made here they are 13 x 9 -20 for the rear and 13 x 8 -20 for the front , they are a proper 3 piece wheel so you can replace the inner or outer rim to make any offset you want . The centers will be painted the same silver as the car ,(not yellow!).
Again if I could find some genuine TRD rims I would have them but it is something that I can change later.

Are these made by Arrow Wheels? Very cool! So how do they come apart? I see no bolts. I would have thought you could have gone wider with the N2 kit? I have turned into a width whore though. This must be the correct fitment for N2 or something i guess.

These are a local built wheel that can be made up to 14 inch wide in 1/2 inch increments of off set
