    Small detail suggestion thread

    Hi all, I was wondering what little details you made to your coupe to make it better from the 'base' kit. For example if you used two brake reservoirs instead of one for added safety, how you mounted your plates, open your doors and mounted your seats. Pictures appreciated!

    To answer my own questions my plan is to do a second reservoir, mount my plate with a kit like this: http://www.americanmuscle.com/flipdo...te-manual.html , I'll probably go for a door poping soleinoid, but i'm not sure which one, and I plan to mount my seats on a hinge for easy access behind the seats.

    Those sound good. I think the door poppers are over kill. I highly recommend you make top of the dash removable and you the whole top of the drivers foot box removable. I also split the rear compartment floor in half and installed it with 8-32 button head cap screws. Added a couple access holes on the rear compartment side walls to get access to the tail light wiring.

    x2 on the access panel to the top of the drivers side foot box and removable dash top. Two of the best mods for this car. I had both off recently working on stuff.

    I happened upon this video, showing some mods and improvements one fellow did to his Daytona. Couple cool ideas.
