I removed a very good Pioneer MP3/USB headunit today and replaced it with this - a 90's vintage Sony CDX-4160RDS. This retro thing is getting out of hand.....

Nothing wrong with retro, I’d love to get the original msss for mine. I wonder if whoever removed it when it was imported knew the significance of it, I’d really like to find out if the seat thumpers work

What am I missing here.....2,280,000 Yen is around €18k !! Slight expensive for a stereo, isn't it ??! :mrgreen:

I was rearranging my garage yesterday and found some older headunits. Hence the change. I also found a Ford branded radio unit from the 1980's and a Blaupunkt Stockholm that is also mid-1980's. I suspect the Blaupunkt was originally fitted in a Fiat.

Fitted a new vinyl driver seat cover in place of the existing cloth. I got a set from these guys

I followed this guy comprehensive guide on how to do it

Pretty time consuming tricky job but worth the effort in the end, passenger seat to do next

That looks pretty good ! Great effort :mrgreen:

I often wondered how these would fit - looks great.

Wow, looks perfect

Retro is fine! Funny how things come around again. I think I still have the original Clarion stereo I removed from the first MX5 I had (in the 80's). I say 'I think' I still have it, cos I know I tried to sell it years ago (on Ebay), but don't think it had any takers!

The seat looks great - it may have been tricky and time consuming, but it looks to have been worth the effort.

Those seat covers look great. I've had a tan set on my watch list for a couple of months. I'll have to order a set now after seeing yours.
Great job.

Thanks lads, for anyone looking to do it take your time and you'll get it, I never did anything like this before but if you follow the YouTube vid it'll turn out well

Newly leatherette covered seats fitted in the car, garage is tight on space so that's the best pic I could take

Also fitted a revlimiter horn push to my Momo Prototipo

That steering wheel is a beauty. Momo Prototipo ?? If mine didn't have the Nardi, I'd be all over one of those !

That's nice...

by **mrges** » Tue, 19 Feb 2019 6:39 +0000

Very tasty.

Those seats look fab.
Well done.

Thanks for the compilments on the seats fellas, they are by no means perfect but I'm happy with them, knocked up this hardtop stand last night in preparation for a hopefully nice summer....., used 40mm plastic pipe,
