My Recaro's will hopefully sell today, so fetching my new seat tonight regardless. Will mount with side mounts to the original Cossie runners

But will want a Corbeau Sprint as a passenger seat though....

Well I'm a really happy man today, just fetched the Corbeau Revenge for a bargain price of just over 200 squids! Can't believe it, looking all over to see what's wrong with it But it's immaculate!

Trial fitted it in the car its great Just need a Corbeau Sprint to match up nicely and THEN I'm finished with it

Sorry for pic quality, bad phone and it's dark

Nice seat there Alan
Car's changed from a sleeper to a track toy in a matter of weeks

You think you can drive her slow now with the look and feel of it?

Of course you will fella, always keep my promises The bucket is on an adjustable runner, so your tall lanky ass will still be able to fit in it

@ whizzisat

Nah mate, starting to think about having a light tint on the windows. It's still sleeper-ish from the outside, but the inside is as it always should have been......safer

Been after some harnesses in the form of Sabelt's, Luke's or Willans. But I've been looking up a lot on TRS.

Got these for a bargain. If they're good enough for winning teams in countless motorsports and the Skoda WRC team, then they're good enough for my little shed

They just need a bit of a wash though

or do you know someone that will pass it

If that was so, then there's a whole lotta cars out there that have had dodgy MOT's
But like a rear wiper, if the wiper and motor aren't there, it can't be MOT'd

Hopefully like many other rumours, this won't come to pass because even WRC cars need to be road legal to drive on the main roads. So if does come to pass, will have to deal with it as and when

Sure yours will be fine, they can't really say "I don't think that's reinforced enough in that section", unless it's obvious sarcasm

cant see from your small pic, but does the harness have the easy quick release tabs on the shoulder straps???

If you drive on the road with fixed harnesses you will quite often come up at junctions where you want to bend forward a bit so being able to one handedly slacken off the shoulder straps quickly is useful. Also useful leaving car parks with barriers etc.

They all release from the buckle mate, but this car hardly goes into any carpark like a daily runner anymore

Won the passenger seat on Ebay tonight. Another minter at a bargain So the Sprint matches the Revenge but gives that slight contrast between "driver" and "passenger" look with the head wrap around. Bang tidy!

MOT today, passed but my suspension needs updating a tad

But had a fun 2 days abusing the car back home, getting used to the new seats on some class roads. I think the contrast between both seats are pretty good considering they're not identical

Great big thanks to my good friend John again for the help

Update this morning...

Pulled off the PAS pump and fitted my spare one on, took a dodgy pipe off to the steering rack and will take it to have the correct length made up on Tuesday with the right connectors to fit the aeroquip ends on to the cooler. So should stop the leaks

Not a major update, but big enough impact on the car. PAS system been leaking for a while so did something about it. Fitted my spare pump on, new belt and had a local engineering firm knock me up a roughly identical hose to the other Ford one with the correct fixed thread on one end to screw the Aeroquip into. Nice and neat

Sorting new coilovers out and it's then the countdown to Gatebil
