Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
Fridge is meer steps away in the kitchen, there's no need for a tv when you have circlips to wrestle with a whatnot.
It is a domestic dwelling though, don't cha know.
Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
Nice tidy garage dude, at least I think it's a garage? Beneath the blur on those photos I mean? ;)
You're next mission is to make that vice functional, and not ornamental. And buy yourself a bearing press (every garage needs a bearing press)
When I got mine, the heads were "shallower" than a standard tapered wheel bolt. Like the actual hexagonal head.
100% incorrect though, your diagram explains it perfectly so I'd be tempted to send that over.
Will you just take a picture? I think I see what you're saying, but it seems so unlikely, as the bolts that fix the spacer to the hub are normally specially made and quite a specific part of what makes the kit worth it's money.
I installed the blue ones out of the evo in TheEvilGiraffe's ph1 this weekend, the subframes are really nice in the way they're made, sit on the existing sliders etc.
Having those trimmed up to match the original seats would be ever so nice. I really look forward to seeing it.
Those two little changes have done wonders!
Did you buy the spoiler linked?
Get cracking on those seats, I REALLY want to see the result, as if I buy a ph1, I'm pretty sure I'd do the same.
Rather than faffing about with all these crazy equations.. do the following and then come back with an answer....
Fill the car right up... reset the trip counter, use it for a day or two and then go back the petrol station, check trip counter, fill up.
Divide figure in simple actual maths...
Ermmmm, why?????
I drove that car to within an inch of it's life at times, the power lets you really enjoy it, you can really pull it though the bends/roundabouts using the power
Ok, so here you go. Buy these, yesterday.

Trimmed up, new rails, utterly mint.
They even recline, just don't tilt forward...
I imagine ANY half decent trimmer will match standard ph1 fabrics so easily.
My advice, find a ph1 sport seat anywhere you can, just one, fucked or not, it doesn't matter.
Rip the cover off of the seat and take it down to an upholsterers.
Leave the cover with them and ask they to...
How about finding a battered set of recaro's, even evo ones that are the same shape but are cheaper, and having them trimmed in a matching blue in the style of the recaros you have in the sunflower?
Holy s**t dude. You're nuts. Cracking choice though, I really like that. Ph1 vee, ph2 wheels, perfect.
You did however forget "get better seats" on your list of things to do ;)
Believe it or not I'm not that fussy re-colour. Anything except iceberg would be a safe bet. I'm in the process of buying a house at the moment, and building a drive on the front of that house, but when I do, I can see me picking one up.
I know the seats are an investment, it's just when I'd be...
Believe it or not, I think (for once) it actually looks as good with black strips as it does with CC'd ph2's.
I still want to buy another, my issue is that I'll have to at least - Lower, convert dash, side strips, rear lights, refurb wheels, recaros... it's not a cheap list ffs.
