I finished up with the dashboard and decided to test fit it today. In an effort to lose every ounce that I can, I trimmed down the cabin wiring harness by removing the wiring that I no longer need. I think it's coming out nice so far.
The cabin wiring still needs a lot of work. It's a great start though. A little more snipping and I will be satisfied.
As far as the rest of the interior is concerned, I am going to remove the rest of sound deadening material. In some areas there is a lot of some sort of glue or adhesive that sealing holes. I am going to remove as much as of that stuff possible then paint the interior a classic gray.
The doors are going to get gutted. I'm not going to use lexan though. I want to use the oem glass and fab up some fasteners that will attach the oem window brackets to the door itself. The window won't roll down and that doesn't matter as this is a track only vehicle.
The rest of the cabin has some little brackets and things that I will remove before I paint all of the cabin classic gray. I have always wanted to have a nice clean and bare interior. It's getting there and I have a long way to go.
Being that this is a track car, I have my daily driver that will be transporting my Civic to the track. It's a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer. I picked this bad boy up for only $500 dollars.
It has a 4.0 liter inline 6. Thankfully it is multi port fuel injected. I already looked into tuning options for the oem ecu but it doesn't have an eeprom. I would like to be able to at least dial in the air/fuel ratios to get the optimum mileage and power out of it. I read about some guys using an SAFC but those devices are so finicky.
I have done minor upgrades. It has an Accel ignition kit which includes plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Other than that it has just enough power to tow my car around.
This week the weather forecast is looking decent so I hope to get some work in!
