Have you thought about extending wires and putting it behind the center console?

How do you have an EG without a passenger side airbag? I thought it was standard equipment. ?

92 (and maybe 93?) doesn't have passenger airbag. I put mine in my glove box without extending wires from what I remember.

Not arguing. My point was that regardless of whether it was standard equipment or not it can removed and replaced with a tray.

I see. I'm just misconceiving what your dash looks like. I understood you don't have a factory installed airbag, but I just assumed the dash had some sort of delete.

Makes sense. Sorry for the confusion. Maybe mount it to the right of the glovebox under the dash. Imagine opening the glovebox, turning the catch's so it will open further, then having access to the fuse box mounted to the right? Hard to imagine when I'm not staring at my glovebox.

I saw that! I'm glad they stayed local. I was tempted to jump on them, but I'll be going 4x114.3 shortly.

Thanks man! 07 was the last time it was on the road. The car was painted New Formula Red back in 01 when both front and rear bumpers, passenger and driver side fenders, driver and passenger door skins and a new drivers quarter were replaced by the previous owner and he put less than 5k on it between 01-07 then it sat in his garage until February of this year. With him being local and always seeing his cars around my friends neighborhood. I had been interested in the car before I got my EM1 but the p/o didn't want to sell it to a local guy, much less a 16 year old kid building his first car. A couple years later after my first build I end up totaling it because of deer late one night. On the search for a car I finally talked the p/o into selling me the car and him seeing what I was going to do with the car he finally sold it to me. The only thing I haven't changed it the paint. The bay used to be rattle canned..



and along with spraying the interior of the car, the bay was sprayed new formula red to match. It use to be a turbo gsr car, so I went all motor type R. I wanted something clean but nothing to wild. I am pretty stoked to finally be getting close to having it back on the road after so long. Some of these other bays make me feel bad about mine though lol Awesome work in this thread!! Always good inspiration to see fellow enthusiast showing off their hard work paying off



SORRY GUYS another awful pic haha. I will have some updates soon along with a real pictures! Intake and VC will be powder coated to match zee wheels..

Painted in October of '01, put about 2500 miles on it between '04 and '08, it's been on jack stands for right about 4 years now. I miss having it running so much.
