That sounds just like what I wan't! Any more details and a rough idea on cost if you are prepared to share ;)

BTW loved the birds twittering in the background before the exhaust scared them off...
 
@GazHyde Powerflow 200 cpsi sports cat with backbox :D cost was, ahem.. £695 plus a new lambda

Jim, I have a video going through gears but I wouldn't dare put it on youtube!

Actually that seems reasonable if it includes the cats... A SuperSprint back box on it's own is nearly £500.

Why wouldn't you as I'm sure it was recorded a on private road or local airstrip ;)

As to be expected with @Southernboy mods the seat lift is great! Very simple to fit 20150418_113201.webp
The difference is a lot better than expected, the transition from ordinary seats to the sports was good but this really goes along way to give you a seat that you can sit in and be comfortable.

Out with the old...

Love the feel, much thicker and ergonomic than the dated steering wheel. Very pleased with Royal Steering Wheels and opted for red stitch to complement the rest of my interior :D

And finally, had a play around with some perforated tint sheets on the fog lights - cheap and cheerful off eBay so time will tell if the adhesive s good enough

I think it gives the bumper a sportier look (just needs ACS splitters now IMO) I was against a full tint film as I do want light output when the lights are on.

From a distance I don't think you would even know there are fog lights

All done by lunch time, so I can look forward to building furniture to keep the missus happy :p

There's a set of ACS splitters on eBay UK right now!! Car's looking great by the way. JIM
 
Care to share? I cant find them

Ash
Sorry Ash, I can't either! They were there yesterday though, I specifically had a look but the £469 price tag through me off. Wish I had known you were looking for a set. Will try to figure out how to check my history on the phone. JIM
 
Looking good Ash.
I'm a fan of the fog delete, more M like...
Can you please post a pic of how bit looks with the fogs on during the day and night. Interested to see how much light gets through.

The seat mod is and steering make it feel a different car, enjoy!
 
What exactly does the seat mod consist of please Ash.

Thanks,

Tony.
 
@t-tony

This is a pic of the kit

The recess on the spacer positions itself underneath the front of the seat rail and 'locks' into place. The long nuts then bite onto the thread through the seat rail and spacer. You have to loosen the rear bolts just to allow the angle to change slightly before tightening them again.

Took less than 10 minutes including some photos

This is what US owners are using from what I gather is on sale stateside, I would be scared to trust the seats fixings in a tricky situation

:eek:
 
How much "rake" does this give the seat? I'm guessing about an inch.

Tony.
