all I can say is I had a mk1 for 14 months and loved every minute of it!
I only sold it due to wanting a newer car, with warranty and less milage and it had to be a mk2 :)
Its a completely different beast entirely, it feels far happier to rev, it actually corners and it just looks mad...
fantastic day yesterday in the lakes, a few dropped out at the last minute but the banter was flowing and the sight of 4 vee's and a 182 was fantastic, peoples faces were priceless!! lol
enjoy!! what a way to start my new ownership of the mk2...
Picked up my new V6 yesterday and then the 300 mile journey home commenced!
so there I was..on the M25, very low on fuel so just purring along about 65 ish..and this mk1 golf goes by with 3 complete chavs in it...the one in the back (hooded up) turns round and just looks..and looks....and me...
i had a saxo VTR first car, got it back in 2002 for £5500 on a T plate, i then spent £17000 on modifying it over 3 years, got a cover feature and a second feature...sold it..for £5500... lost...£17000...
lesson learnt..big time.. 4 years later ive bought a V6 255..and only thing im changing...
:(:( ahhh this is a pisser!
pick up my vee on saturday and was looking forwards to having these ready to fit whenever i bought frames..
now im worried before i even start getting them trimmed..
interesting thought...they have since been in a transit van for a brief period!!??...(i...
gt gaz...thanks..
surely they wouldnt be that awkward...these are definately recaro TRENDLINE's...some other evo seats dont have the pull out extension etc...these do...??!?! so many questions!! :)
ahh..this could be a problem!!...
possible to drill new holes or any way round about it at all???
thanks for pointing that out..they havent started trimming them yet..and ive only left 100 deposit on them until they are trimmed and ready...so all is not lost...i just hope this can be...
there are loads on ebay..but very few that actually have the alcontara in the middle..meaning just the bolsters etc need trimmed..
most evo 7/8/9 have just cloth on the edges and the horrible material in the middle.. and the woman whos doing the trimming...says recaro alcontara is over £100...
hahah...no way sorry dude..
i got them for £550 the pair..they are spotless! £140 to have them trimmed in the black leather..
just need to let them know if i want the recaro logo back on..or maybe the mk1 172 renaultsport logo :)
got a bargain on these...only 10 miles from me..and at an auto trimmers by random chance..they are now mine, and in bits getting the proper ambla black trim where the blue bits are!
should look sweet in my black vee! :):) they are soo supportive and comfy!
ahh i see they do a complete kit with the PC and all the sonus pads etc..including postage for $248...so thats not too bad!! :):)
rich..expect to be in-undated with PM's when i get all this sorted out! :P
when i had my 172 cup..i couldnt possibly afford a 255...they were still uber money (just over a year ago) add to this..insurance..(at the time i was just about to turn 21) and it was a definate no no..
so..i plumped for a mint condish, low miler mk1..the car is absolutely fantastic, dont let...
