I've got an FXGT wheel for my Corolla wagon. I was looking closely at it the other day and realised that they have orange stitching, so we're gonna do my interior black with orange stitching. I'm trying to talk my brother into reupholstering it so I can repaint it too

Send me a photo once its done, Id be keen to see the final product. Mine has remnants of orange stitching. Following on the theme everywhere on the interior would be nice! 

Im trying to figure out what colour to eventually go with myself.

Re: shifters, K40 and K50 are definitely different.

In an AE86, a 4AGE is canted slightly, so if you've mounted it flat in the car then your shifter is going to angle to the right a little. It'd be easy as to heat and bend it slightly, it won't take much to do.

These are some door cards I've recently helped my brother with. Thinking about doing the same indented stitching but with the orange

Cheers mate! I think that may be the way to go, was avoiding it but needs must. Currently hits your leg in 5th.

That look flippin' awesome. Orange stitching would be next level.

I really like the idea of this, but you have to drill a hole in your brake res, and so if there wasn't enough fall to the clutch cylinder you might be in for a bad time

Clutch res, I've ordered a 45mL motorbike one to make it as compact as possible as the current setup is a bit bulky. Also the master to res connection is still leaking,  not badly but something Ill eventually get to. Ideally something like what the E30s had with the dual brake/clutch master res would solve my problems.

It doesn't have enough fall to work unfortunately! E30s have a similar factory setup but the res has 2 chambers rather than just the one. 

 

The motorbike ones I have is perfect EXCEPT the barb isn't big enough so that needs some work
