dont quote that asif its what you are thinking! hahaha

itl look alright when you colour code the skirts and have some bigger bumpers to match how much lower the sills are. if you look at mine you will see what i mean

well i just had some major luck!! woke up this morning to an ebay reminder, a pair of bucket seats that i randomly watched as i thought they would go for silly money.

for some reason however, noone had bid! (probably because it was like 8am on a sunday haha)

so i won them and collected earlier.

they are OMP buckets, proper lightweight, nice and comfy, fresh condition, and they match my OMP steering wheel! haha

I'm liking your new back seats! Have you got to make runners up?

  • Author

haha! they are still in there! lol

nope a friend is sorting me out with some proper runners on monday, so they will bolt straight in :)

which for anyone reading means the recaros will be for sale by the way, (after i have done a bit of work on the frames and cleaned them up)

just fitted clear indicators too and it looks 10x better

So are they an off the shelf item or custom made? You going to use harnesses?

How's the engine going this time? Do you use it as a daily driver?

  • Author

they are proper frames i believe. nah using the standard seatbelts

engine is good! still pulling strongly. yeah i do 60 miles a day in it and it copes fine. mpg is pretty good too.

Glad the engine worked out for you in the end!

I think I saw somewhere that you are running a slimline fan... What size is it? Rather than me going into the cold to measure up :)

  • Author

same! haha

yeah its a 10 inch one but id go for a 12 as its not really man enough.

ps heres a video

Haha sounds so sick when you bounced it off the limiter! But what's with the flashing led on your clocks? :s

Sounds sweet! Good Work!

What gearbox you currently using and what's is like?

Will the 12 inch fan be bigger than the rad... Don't want it hanging over lol

  • Author

haha! the flashin light is my oil pressure warning, I'm using an oil pressure gauge so have one of the normal senders earthed, but i think I've done the wrong one lol. il get round to sorting it haha.

using an 8p box, which has a stupidly long third gear, makes it sound like its not as quick as it is

hitting the limiter is addictive! lol. 12 inch fan should be ok i reckon

what limiter you got pal?

BeeR isn't it?

fack off....

  • Author
