Haha gslender telling it like it is 8) BOSS!

It doesn't seem like an ideal place to place switches either considering your gear knob is missing in that pic so it might appear to be "better then stock" atm but with the gear shifter in it might all change.

Yeah I've tested with the shifter in :P works well, and still heaps better than the stock location (IMO).

Centre Console Update & TSI - http://omgpham.com/centre-console-update-tsi

Small update!

I finished up my design to relocate the power window switches after deleting the centre console. The switches are automotive grade and will include wiring harness using crimped connections. A revised template for the carpet will also be included and will cover up the tunnel and fuel/boot release levers. The panel is CNC laser cut from 1.6mm thick stainless-steel sheet and all supplied hardware will be stainless-steel too.

Testing so far has been very good, functions like factory (no auto feature), and I find it easier to reach than the factory location for the switches.

These kits will be made available shortly!

Below are some photos of the first prototype.

I now stock TSI kits, Turn Signal Intake. Replaces the factory light assembly, and provides a good source of cold air into the engine bay. The vents have both LED parker and indicator lights.

Not too bad hey!

Very nice.

The turn intakes are the nicest I've seen. (better than Zest/Mania/Moss/etc)

Awesome job.

Didn't realise they have a parker too! That's awesome.

TSI look good, any chance of there being a polished version? Or even different designs?

Yeah there are polished versions and designs where the indicator lense is on the exterior.

I can vouch for these.

Just installed mine yesterday, the quality is so good, and these led Parker's are just CREAM! I recieved 6 spacers in my kit and ended up using 2 on each screw so it would sit flush with the front bar.

Will upload a picture When I'm back home :)

Are you guys in a hurry for them? I don't have another order planned for at least a few more weeks.

Interior Update - http://omgpham.com/interior-update

Still waiting to get my head back from the engine builder, so no real updates.

One of the perks from organising a group buy of 40 Sparco Sprint V seats... I kept a seat for myself so now my passengers can sit in comfort :) also ordered a OMP 330mm deep dish steering wheel that shipped with the seats.

Some seat bolster protectors from MX-5 Mania are on their way too.

Smaller steering wheel really obscures the gauges - that's why most guys get rid of then.

350mm is about as small as you can go and still read the gauges easily.
