Well flock me, I think that picture gallery is a bit flocked on my laptop as can only see half a photo and I'll be flocked if i know why !!

Its pretty popular in Europe and done a lot in rally cars.

How does it go with wear? I've been seeing more and more of this and really starting to like it!

Here is a full R33 dash done from that website posted:

Theres a guy from Finland,Holland or somewhere like that on the UK GTR site that did it to heaps of stuff in his car and just looks bloody good.

I'll try hunt the link up.

Gives it a more race feel than carbon but always wondered how it would cope with Oz conditions..e.g the Sun !!

Yeah I know the car you are talking about. Sweden rings a bell? His was the first I ever saw with a flocked dash. Basically lookes like suede.

Here's that one from the cover of a recent HPI. His was really nicely done.

I only just figured, we used it at work (the flock) for putting into our reinforced 2 pack paint, we call it "short stuff" though. Very durable, can't see the sun or UV being an issue....just depends on the type of adhesive they use, and if it's good enough to stick polyester and nylon, then I can't imagine it being your average glue.

Yeah Sweden rings a bell.

Reckon if done properly it looks great.

ooh... Im tempted Ive always loved this look

how much of the interior should I flock if its a stock interior with half cage, side intrusion bars, 2 x sparco pro2000 and Takata harnesses...???

and how to incorporate 4 guages on dash top...???

whole dash minus the centre console a must

door trims at all?

steering column?

A pillar interior plastics?

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
