Phase II of my car enhancement

mugur · 09-24-2007, 01:41 PM

Here are some pictures with my Forester in it's actual stage. Beside the full interior change, now it has a car PC, a 8.4" touchscreen with it and a finished roadrunner skin themed for my car. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

WOW! Nice work! That is the biggest screen I've ever seen in the dash and those seats and door panels look incredible.

Thank you:)
2mm bigger and the screen would never fit. Even so, i had to cut 3mm from the lower side of the A/C controlls...and i am confident to say that it is the biggest possible install solution on the console of this kind of Forester.

Thats one great looking interior. Ever think about changing the HVAC controls to something newer? I dont even know if thats possible...

mugur · 09-24-2007, 03:04 PM

The controls are mechanical. Steel wires pulled/pushed for opening the air chanells and some absolutelly normal switches for the fan speed. I have no idea where to get a suitable one, that is why i was thinking to make digital controls using hi-power servos. Still thinking though...

Beautiful.

Big Screen!!!

awesome interior. I wish mine used to be that clean.. what is the lever on the right from the hand brake? not a fan of powder-coated drums though, looks ricy. the screen is very nice too.

The lever is from something that is called "double range shifter" it seems. High range - Lo range shifter can be engaged in any gear whilst on the move and gives you approx 20% reduction in which ever gear you are using it. This info is from a member of this forum.

The screen is way sweet, but let us talk about that interior!

Usually aftermarket leather interiors look like A$$. They must have some craftsmen in Bucharest.
