Noice!
BTW are you on JDMST? I'm sure the ex-owner of your car would be very happy to see you there

no need to thank man, was a pleasure.

top looking ride inside, any pics of out side? or that still a work in progress?

really like the center console. the carpet in the middle really gives it a retro look.

the Nardi is very good. i had one too but 330mm is too small and it blocks the dials. unfortunately i had to sell it but i got a bigger momo so it's not all bad.

this is mine when i had it:

Beautiful interior, very tastefully done. After looking at that I am considering doing a centre console mod myself! The normal NA centre is a bit dated now I think.

Photos are well composed too...

Yeah I just picked up a Nardi Classic 350mm one a few months ago.. Just waiting for the opportune time to change it, might do it when I do my AWD gauge cluster

I hope the 350 isnt too big, I'd hate it if the steering wheel starts rubbing against my knee caps

Philip Lee · Postby **Philip Lee** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 12:32 pm

are you sure it's 350mm?

iirc Nardi only makes 330 & 360 for the Classic.

and 360 is the size of the stock Momo.

i now have 350mm Momo and it's not too bad. it's a compromise for me in terms of knee space and seeing the dials fully.

My bad, 360mm it is

You're right about that! Absurd price for a bit of carpet... It looks pretty easy to make though I think. Find some matching carpet, cut it to shape, get the edges done at an upholsterer. Then make the gear shift and window switch surrounds out of ally (I can do that at my work, fortunately), and you're done! Easy...

You could also make one that kept the existing centre console armrest and window switch. That would look pretty good, and be practical.

I might look into it, I think...

Sounds Sweet Moggy,

Looks like you may be onto something... get a few prototypes going and you'll probably find yourself quite a few customers in this forum

Looks gorgeous, but I just wonder about loosing the bin in the armrest.
I don't know about you guys, but I use mine all the time.

Of course you guys realise that there is carpet under the console, and with a bit of jiggery pokery, you could dress it up to look really good with a few bits of metal.

And then sell it for $500!
