Hey guys (and gals),

What should i put into the car to make it feel italian?

Got idea after seeing Isotta Sterring Wheel (Katiena series)...

Would love to have a tan leather interior also....

Is there a way to mod air vents into those cool alfa romeo ones? Or plaster the dashboard (somehow) to create swoppy surfaces?

What else should i do? How can i do them?

leather.. deh or leather smelling smelly shit.. lol

full retrim :rolleyes:

What are you on about with the "deh or leather smelling smelly shit"? Otherwise i would do retrim if i could learn the skills, otherwise it costs way too much... maybe in 5 years when i have a decent salary. For the meantime, seat covers will have to do... or just leave the seats are get all the other retrims.

Loosen off various screws so bits can fall off while you're driving

LOL.... ok maybe i should rephrase that.... looking italian, but having japanese reliability.

trying to make your car something it isn't is lame......

Wtf. Ummmm... this is a MODDING forum... and people here are into MODDING.... I.e. making the original car into something it wasn't in the first place (for good or bad). What are YOU doing in these forums if you aren't making something your car isn't?

Besides i just want to make the interior feel italian... the exterior will be the usual bodykit... was thinking Zenki 4 dr bodykit... looks manga outside, feels extravagant and passionate inside.

Install a large woman with facial hair in the passenger seat?

Just a thought :D

ROLFMAO :laughing-smiley-014:

that isotta steering wheel looks exactly like mine, and it doesn't look out of place at all. only thing i don't like about it is you can't roll your hand over the edge of the steering wheel when doing a >90 degree turn cause of the shape, but meh

howabout retrimming the whole interior in AC milan colours ? or maybe a Juventus banner hanging from the mirror ? a few italian stickers on the windscreen may also help, Scuderia veloce or something like that..

Or he could put an Italia soccer scarf on the parcel shelf and/or on the dash. So replace my early comment about the fluffy dice to the soccer ball off the mirror.

Don't forget a picture of the 'Azzurri' on the rear window...

Maybe some dried sausage or a leg of proscutio in the glovebox...

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
