Sparco Pro Race 2000 seats hold Ben firmly as he\u2019s sending it down the lanes. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tegiwaimports.com\/tegiwa-gauge-pod-dial-holder-honda-s2000-99-10-rhd.html\"><strong>Tegiwa triple gauge pod<\/strong><\/a> featuring a GReddy boost and oil pressure gauge along with an AEM AFR gauge mean that Ben can keep an eye on what\u2019s going on under the bonnet. There\u2019s plenty of custom parts too; a Qube Engineering custom white LED instrument cluster, piano black trim and Bride door cards and arm rest take this build to the next level and show the level of detail that\u2019s going into the project.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-4634 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_424978068858776.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_424978068858776-200x300.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_424978068858776-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_424978068858776-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_424978068858776-682x1024.jpeg 682w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_424978068858776-640x960.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_424978068858776-300x450.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_424978068858776.jpeg 853w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_887422028728141.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_887422028728141-200x300.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_887422028728141-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_887422028728141-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_887422028728141-682x1024.jpeg 682w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_887422028728141-640x960.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_887422028728141-300x450.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/received_887422028728141.jpeg 853w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>What&#8217;s next?<\/h4>\n<p>Ben is far from finished with his AP1; he\u2019s currently got a few changes lined up which include and a half carbon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tegiwaimports.com\/brands\/mugen.html\"><strong>Mugen<\/strong><\/a> style hardtop and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tegiwaimports.com\/brands\/j-s-racing.html\"><strong>J\u2019S Racing<\/strong><\/a> carbon side skirts.
