Thanks for that pic Mark...
I must admit mk4 dashboard looks really nice...I have seen the center console in red..It looked really good.
From looking at the pic the mk4 dash has a bigger width.
I would still keep the stock mk3 mounting postions for the dash and gauge cluster.
How much...
That is my plan..to replace every body panel on my supra with carbon Fiber..
Instead of getting a new paint job I will use the money to buy the carbon and do the work myself.
But first i have to do all m projects esp the dashboard one which by the way I start on it next weekend and then in...
That was my feeling too...
I like the mk4 dash...everything facing the driver.
Well, is that a good plan to agree on...the dash will be changed to face the driver like the mk4 style.?????
Cheers,

Hi all,
I have got a spare dashboard and i have looked at it closely.
I really think I can pull this off....100% sure.
I bought a book on customizing car interiors and will try to post pics.
A cupholder is a good idea..I will change the big old buttons which we have.
I will write...
Yes....all i need is a pic of stock dash and you can cut, copy and paste or play around with it on the software....Just to see what it looks like.
I wont worry bout the acutal dimensions of the dash. That i can worry later on...I can do a engineering drawing on paper for it myself at work...
Hey Ctsupra....you read my mind...
I wanted to ask if someone who has cad help me create some drawings and I would reward him with some of my products.
cheers,
roy
Hi all,
Yes, it will be a full dashboard...from door to door...and yes that is my intend...shipped to you all ready to install...
I too like the idea of the shifter up higher like the armrest - Northsupra.
The armrest portion will be separate like the stock one and will have to be...
Hi all,
Figgie : Yes i can do that...just the gauge cluster.
Makavelli : I want the same look...black and silver interior look. I have the silver carbon fiber to make my parts out of it.
Yes, I am aware of all the properties of these composite fabrics....and after speaking to my...
Well I will talk to my friends about those issues which you guys have mentioned..i.e. fiberglass in case of an accident and see if there is a solution.
As you guys know racecars use composites inside and outside and I am sure
the design engineers would have thought of the issues in case of a...
Yes, would be really kewl to pull it off.
But I do not think people woiuld pay $1000-$1500 for a dash when they can buy a big intercooler or big turbo. So I have to build it well but also make it economical so people can afford it.I do not think I would charge that much.

Hi,
Well I understand that this is a big job and took take a long time and it is not worth it if only 1-2 people want it.
As for the making the trim piece thar goes around the radio and shifter I have already made a few and now sell them.And as I do more and more I will get more creative...
Well you could jack the car up and get under the car and turn the lever on the trans manually to each position and check if the wheel turn. If it works fine then it could be the linkage but check all the linkages first.
Cheers,
Roy
Yes, price will differ but i do not think by much...
Like currently I do the center consoles as per what people want but i still charge a flat rate...which is ok becoz it is a small item.
The dashboard is alot bigger. I will get back to you all with a price...
Cheers,
Roy
Hi all,
I can make a blank and then from there I will change it to suit.
I think the stock dash looks old fashioned and boring. I want to change it so that it compares to later model cars now. I kinda dislike our big square switches. It would look nicer with smaller switches. Could...
