Make sure you regularly test fit that center section. I have a tough time with room for my throttle leg with a stock low windshield center console..

Good to know. We have been putting the seats in off and on. I will may need to move the throttle over a tiny bit.RCMike wrote: Mon Mar 05, 2018 9:42 pm Make sure you regularly test fit that center section.

Re: SR20DE Swap in Florida
What is the benefit of the push button start? I've been trying to decide if I need to do that in my build but haven't thought through why it would benefit me. Appreciate understanding your logic.Bigtaku wrote: Mon Mar 05, 2018 6:52 pm Push button start will replace the key so I am having a new sleeve made to cover the steering column. the button will be on the dash. hands free phone microphone will be built into the dash. top of the line stereo with no glare screen.

Re: SR20DE Swap in Florida
Pushbutton start is purely a matter of convenience to me, On my current model your cars with that, the beauty is I never have to pull the keys out of my pocket. They’re proximity keys so nothing to insert. Ultimate in lazy!

more pics for today, the legs are not mine. I'm only 5'8" these are of my 6'2" fabricator. I should have no issues with comfort.

I think they look slick. I love the custom dash. You doing a similar paint scheme to match?

Re: SR20DE Swap in Florida
I like the waterfall dash/center console look. Do I see cues of a earlier Corvette influence to the double hump dash? Nice!

It's hard to GAUGE what your interior theme will be.
I'm a big fan of the shiny parts that come with the early flat dash roadsters. Maybe consider chrome/stainless bezels?

Re: SR20DE Swap in Florida
+1.... Nothing against the Speedhut gauges as their quality is pretty good and their customer service is also top notch but I've seen a lot of cars try to get away from the chrome and for me the black plastic bezel's just don't lend themselves to the classic look of the Roadster.
