[kevo66]

No, was going to but saved £900 by getting these, used towards other stuff

 

[Andy.]

Pretty full on car. Takes some balls to do that to a new one!

 

[kevo66]

Meh.. I do have "ohmygodwhathefuckamidoing" moments but f**k it!

 

[jesus]

Turning into a right weapon now

 

[Andy.]

Meh.. I do have "ohmygodwhathef**kamidoing" moments but f**k it!

[Whiteley]

[kevo66]

Why mate?

 

[Jamie]

Whats the rear like now?

 

[kevo66]

Whats the rear like now?

Stripped still mate!!

 

[Whiteley]

Why mate?

Just don't like the look of the seats and the harnesses look a bit weedy, just my opinion!

 

[Jamie]

Stripped still mate!!

Nooooo. I can see that!

I mean, how does it handle? How does it feel with nothing in the back? Does it need stiffer springs?

 

[kevo66]

Just don't like the look of the seats and the harnesses look a bit weedy, just my opinion!

No its cool, each to their own and all that!! TBH the seats were cheap cheap! Not what I would've liked but needed the ££

Dont like the bigger harnesses, I think they look s**t!

 

[kevo66]

Nooooo. I can see that!

I mean, how does it handle? How does it feel with nothing in the back? Does it need stiffer springs?

AHH, sorry!! Still a little squirmy on the brakes but the cage is going in the back soon!!

 

[Whiteley]

Without meaning to be rude, I can tell!

Each to their own aye, but in this case you're wrong I'm afraid :rasp:

 

[kevo66]

Each to their own aye, but in this car you're wrong I'm afraid :rasp:

Why in this car???

 

[Whiteley]

Why in this car???

Typo fail on my part, in this case*

 

[maynard]

not really a fan of the seats, but dude it looks sound stripped!

 

[Ali]

I'm with the above...Don't like the design of them. But Function over form eh son!

 

[Sumner]

Kev definately an improvement over the standard renault seats.

Can always sell them at a later stage and get the carbon ones or something else.

Wonder whats next? the cage? wheels??

 

[BioHzrd]

Nice mate wish id have been able to see it in the flesh as is though !!!

 

[Curley]

Awesome

 

[matty w]

have to agree with whiteley if your putting buckets in a new car like that would have to be something like recaro pole positions or cobra suzuka's

 

[Naith]

why so ur dudes all hi5 u?

i'll decide on their form on my drive, their function goes without saying

 

[Ali]

lol.

 

[Fred@BTM]

ooft, they're not the most comfortable them, i lasted 60min and had dead legs

 

[Tigger]

Could have done worse! Angle grinder comes to mind - hope you have gone off that idea now lol

makes loads of sense that ?

 

[Steviant]

Nice! your motor is hardcore!

No it's not. It still has standard belts in there. Get rid! ;-)

 

[Inferno]

No it's not. It still has standard belts in there. Get rid! ;-)

+1! Lazy! The new seats look good though. Have they lowered the driving position at all? Or was it pretty good for you in the 197 before the swap?

Disagree tbh. The standard seats are very good, much better than say the standard 172/182 squishy unsupportive ones. Only plus i can see is the weight saving.

 

[Timmay]

slightly sexual imo!

 

[Jamesstone]

Thought you were keeping runners dude? We could have bolted the Bimarco's s to that set-up, Still must have saved some weight

If you do find them un-comfy drop me a Pm, I'm with you on the harness's, Sparco's FTW

[kevo66]

LOL, give me a chance lads, STD belt s**t is out today!

Cage next. Ref the recaros etc... I could bought some for what these cost to get fitted to proper spec but Im not a name snob so meh.....

As for the not improved over STD? Last time when I was selling my STD seats it was "oh they're not very supportive etc" I wish people would make their mind up! They hold you in place far better... how can std seats with a normal belt be better than a proper bucket with 4 pointers... dont really get that!

 

[oz_clio]

this is getting hardcore this car!

did you get your standard seats sold? How much you get for them on the Bay?

 

[Gaz_]

hmmmm well define better?! Standard seats are very supporive for a standard motor, goons who say they arent have never sat in them imo!!!

I think the Sportster CS's would have been better on a custom subframe?
