Is that factory fitted fake carbon on the dash or added by a po?

Damn I wish I'd bought one of these and bunged it in the container (we had the room) when we moved home from blighty. They were stupidly cheap because not fashionable at the time and very few decent outfits with real experience in the uk. In the early 2000s when we had our FBs you could pick up many rx7s series 1 through to 6 for beer money if you looked about - especially if not running.

It's different now and cheap ones there are hard to come by.

I'm not sure about the dash, the car seems to have a lot of added extras so it might've been a factory option, but statistically, it's probably just aftermarket crap lol. TBH I've never liked carbon fiber effect, it just screams "kit car" to me. I'd swap for factory if someone offered, wouldn't go paying to change back though.

The prices really really are coming down though (more that they were hopelessly inflated in the first place). a couple of years ago you wouldn't even get a running one for 50k, not surprising the prices weren't sustainable

stuff it I'm just going to ask

@ProZac why can't most aftermarket ecu's handle the FD sequential turbo arrangement? 

Oh Hey.

Because ECU companies don't want to deal with the old systems that have old fucked valves and leaky pipes and cracked tanks... and have people blame the system not working on the ECU, when its 99% of the time a fucked solenoid. Hardware wise and firmware / logic wise the system isn't actually super complicated.

Haltech support sequential turbos. You need two PWM capable outputs (for the pre and post switch wastegate controls), and 3 general purpose outputs (charge relief, charge control, and turbo control).

I bet it would be possible on a Link though, I'm kinda counting on it TBH. But I wont be working on my car for another couple of years. We've kicked into a house renovation project, which is becoming a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

that fake carbon looks like a faceplate placed over the original plastic with all the cutouts to show the control labels? hopefully they didn't use a horrible glue
