How durable is the printed plastic? Or have you reinforced it enough otherwise that the plastic from the printer was just a base to work on? I'd be afraid of heat and vibration taking it's toll on one of those pieces before not too long.

anywho... nothing special here... rules.

You're completely right to question the rigidity of the part. I reinforced the printed piece with fiberglass resin. The medium we print in is UV sensitive and would deteriorate overtime. Now this part isn't in direct sunlight and is coated so we shall see how it holds up i guess. I also live in Canada so it doesnt get as hot as it does down south.

^^ love it^^ what cage is it??

wolfpack · 06-29-2013, 03:16 PM

Thanks dude! It's a Safety 21 13-point steel cage with Mazworx harness bar. I was amazed that the two fit together so well. I was even able to fit the sunroof in with the stock bracket, after some brain power of course. I would definitely recommend this cage to anyone!

lude4life13 · 06-29-2013, 03:45 PM

Nice interior I seen.

SupaDoopa · 06-29-2013, 05:11 PM

@Wolfpack - So on point. Good job!

Magoo1222 · 07-02-2013, 10:22 PM

Replaced my offensive stock seats today with a set out of a 95 s14 from a local yard. Sooo much nicer.

singlecamslam · 07-02-2013, 10:40 PM

That instantly made your interior much better

Grocery Cart · 07-03-2013, 01:00 AM

Nothing special. Got this completely stock, original owner from onside the road one day. Saw it and had to knock. Interior was pretty good.

Shift boot replaced and the ashtray was put back in. I love how cozy stock s13 interiors are.

another option with printed parts is to sand and primer them and get them smooth then build a silicone mold around them and cast plastic parts out of the mold. we do this with our SLA prints at my work all the time for clients. yes that is more expensive. just stating it as an alternative.

So right now I just have my OG HKS gauge wedged between the wheel cover and the dash. It wiggles but it's fine. The real problem is it blocks almost all the cluster.

I keep wanting to stick it on the dash like JDM awesomeness, and I would had my dash been the typical broke ass crap dash. Mine's flawless however and it feels like it would be a crime...

SaNTi · 07-03-2013, 07:47 PM

^ Would some 3M double sided tape not be enough to hold it down? That's how I want to mount gauges when I get some, and my dash is mint as well. No way I'm drilling holes in it!

Mister.E · 07-03-2013, 07:48 PM

60mm or 52mm gauge? looks like a 60

i mounted mine with double sided tape one time and after them being there for 2 years i went to take them off to sell the car and it ripped a hole in the dash. it just took the top layer right off with it.

3M would do the trick all day. That is what the mount is actually designed for...

The problem is, I got $20 that says either the tape tears in half or tears up part of the dash if I ever tried to remove/move it.

80mm I believe. I can measure in the morning. Shits so rad at night.

Thats what I figure it would do.

SaNTi · 07-03-2013, 07:54 PM

You'd probably just have to take your time with it... heat it up a bit and baby it off.

Not even worth the risk IMO. Just speaking from personal experience.

im pretty sure its a 60mm gauge, I have the same one. 3m Double sided tape should hold it in place just make sure you clean both surfaces well before sticking it down.

rules.

Agamemnon · 07-04-2013, 01:25 PM

You could use the Attain column mount. RHDJapan.com sells them for $25.

Corbic · 07-04-2013, 01:41 PM

Seems legit.

$25, with a shot

***FaLKoN240*** · 07-04-2013, 03:08 PM

That cable snaking out of your center console is an eyesore.

I love it though!

It's a fuel line and I got the gauge for like $20 but with no power plug. So my budy just soldered two wires and tired it into the stereo.

Magoo1222 · 07-04-2013, 07:26 PM

+1 to the python coming out of the dash. at least snug it up a bit, looks halfassed IMO
