I finally took the G20 out from winter storage, and man it feels good to drive it again. Unfortunately I think some mice got in. There’s a pretty strong smell on warm days, and it’s been driving me crazy. So, I decided to strip the interior and clean the sh*t out of it. The tan interior is pretty ugly IMO and I won’t be putting it back in unless I can find a complete black interior Instead, I’m going to try to fab up some aluminum door cards and give it the “track car” look while also shedding some weight. The only thing I’ll be keeping is the center console, and dashboard which will be painted flat black to minimize glare from the sun. Here’s my progress so far. It was raining so I didn’t get as far as I had hoped.
Back seat & trunk carpet removed.
Door panels removed, and wire harness re-routed. I also got rid of the factory stereo amplifier, power antenna junk, and 3rd brake light since I have a wing that is going on after I get it painted.
Where are you located? I still have ONE mint g20T interior carpet available for sale
Make sure you remove the dash and take apart the heater core and heater--- where I saw a mouse nest in a junkyard car anyway and the urine smell was horrid!
Pro Tip of what we do for winter storage is dryer sheets all over the inside including trunk area (mice hate the smell apparently) along with in the engine bay and typically 1 bag of moth balls right next to the battery box under the hood. In the Spring you have the bonus of interior smelling dryer fresh!

I might be able to find a few parts (panels) but most of it was thrown away when we turned our former 95 G20t into a race car because they broke while being removed. I have a Black T passenger seat but not a driver seat for example. (not sure you'd want that?) The black carpet was darn near mint so I've held onto it for 12 years now knowing what it sold for back then and being even more rare now. I'm about 30 miles from the Pleasant Prairie, WI border. Why don't you just text me and we can go from there. 928 693 7441
Going to drive it on the track mostly. I travel the country for work so I don’t take it on the street much. I have a lot of plans for the exterior/interior, but the turbo setup is staying how it is for now. It’s got more than enough power for the street, and a I feel like any more would make it hard to control on a track. Once the b13 trans blows up I’m gonna do a 6 speed swap and call it a day.
At least here in europe, it´s considered the holy grail in rear lips. Were manufactured in Austria, discontinued years ago, found this BNIB in Germany, thanks to a German member I´ve received it.
What’s the best way to repair a cracked/ripped dash?
On the top of the dash behind the steering wheel I’ve got a tear about 5-8 inches long. It’s pretty deep. I’m pretty certain it’s from sitting in the sun and drying out.
Thanks
I am evaluating whether to buy used fenders from a salvage yard verses buying new after markets. I'm looking at the right and left front fenders.
I'm somewhat familiar with the upsides and risks with buying salvage fender parts. But can anyone shed some real world experiences with after markets...
I've been obsessed with this stuff during the years, the jdm bluebirds had an illuminated door lock.
As you can see, there is a small led light in the right side of the « key hole», wich lights once you grab the handle, making easier acces to the car in that foggy nights when you go out and...
