Cobra Suzuka now installed

[miketheman2k]

Big thanks to Loony for his top quality skills installing these last weekend Now got the rear seats back in (mainly for sound-deadening, I'm not willing to put up with 90db of road noise just to save 20kg's it also looks good, and keeps my sound system sounding great). Loony, had to raise them up a couple of notches so I could see out!!

The seats are amazing, they make you feel so in-touch with the car, you can really tell whats going on now. They also stop you moving pretty much anywhere (reversing is a pig!). I can't wait to get a couple of trackdays in soon to try them out in anger.

And a couple of outside pics, just because its clean...

had a sit in these when i bought loony's coilovers off him, very nice seating position and very snug/tight fit. would love a set of these nxt pay day!

Awesome seats.

I know my buckets made a significant difference to the drving expierence.

Reversing is a laugh when you strapped in.

What have you done about the airbag light??

 

[Scott]

i love your wheels mate they're sh!thot suit it very well:approve:
buckets look great too.

 

[GeeUK]

Nice car youve got there, I like it.

Why not remove the back seats and re carpet? Might still save a bit of weight.

 

[Jamie _Swales]

the car looks very nice.

Do you have the 172 headlights? they look darker than mine?

 

[Trail182]

mmm want some of those seats. very nice mate

 

[caymanr26]

that steering wheel is smart as f*k - how easy was it to fit - have you managed to stop the air bag light coming on?

 

[B16DOE]

nice

 

[miketheman2k]

The airbag light is on at the moment - will be trying the resistor trick soon(as works with the steering wheel)

Steering wheel was a 30 minute job, very easy, but its not the first momo I've had

Racing182 - my headlights are original 182 units, guess its the light?

Looking good (but then they would do seeing as i picked them, lol) fella not a 5minute job and temperatures of -4 to about 1 degree when fitting them isnt fun, lol.

Raise them up? shortass

I'm currently sulking as the standard seats are about as supportive as a splint made from wet cardboard

very nice mate!i've just installed some cobra daytonas today.... question, with regards to the seat belt plug, can you see all the pretentioner workins? you can on mine....

 

[Liam]

nice little touch having renaultsport logo on them!

 

[MarkM]

cool car mike

 

[Craig]

looks good mate

 

[caymanr26]

did the steering wheel come with the relevant resistor? if not what resistor do you need and where do you get them from?

 

[Nafoff]

the seats look lovely, so does the steering wheel and the wheels...overall i think that is an absolute stunner of a car

 

[bri_paul]

very nice car! lovin the seats

 

[Mattieuk]

I love the seats...sweet

 

[Andyman]

Would love to fit buckets but the fixed position puts me off cos i'd imagine them to be horrid on long trips.

Look well tidy all the same

 

[Nick_R182]

they look awsome! loving the renaultsport stiched on them. Were they expensive?

 

[miketheman2k]

It came with one resistor - another is required though. Think its a 3ohm - maplins will sort you out for less than 10p.

No idea, I bought them from loony (I like to think they were)

 

[Ian_182]

lovely car mate.

Don't be a girl (this is where you tell everyone that I was too cold to take my hands out of my pockets? lol)

Raise them up? shortass

I'm glad its height and not width - these seats ain't for the post-xmas fatties!

sorry what was that Mike "i'll have another cup of tea" Feltham

aint that the truth, lol

 

[Tyson-182]

Awesome mate! They look superb. Nice touch with the Renault Sport logo!

Tyson.

 

[Nick_R182]

Are you turning your back to standard then loony?

 

[Turkish]

Nope, just at the moment the buckets were becoming inpractical so decided to take them out, i may get another set at some point if it isnt so much of an issue. The wheels i took off a couple of months back because i getting pissed off with cleaning them every other day. I'm tempted to get another more rare set of lightweight rims on there next year.

 

[Gary G]

Looking good Mike! You, Ross and myself should have some kind of MK mini meet

 

[caymanr26]

ur car looks the nuts mike - have been back to this thread about 5 times now to look at it!

 

[caymanr26]

is that a 320mm steering wheel?

 

[Alan]

They look ace mate!

 

[miketheman2k]

is that a 320mm steering wheel?

Sure is. Anything else is just too big.

 

[Paul C]

very nice mate! looks really low and mean!

 

[jonesyx]

very nice mate!i've just installed some cobra daytonas today.... question, with regards to the seat belt plug, can you see all the pretentioner workins? you can on mine....

i got them in my mk1, to hide the pretensioner just modded the plastic trim off the seat and bolted it on. other sides bit nasty tho and can see the runners.

love the wheels mike, looks well nice!

 

[Gaz_]

yeah, that was my thinking, i pulled the trims off before i put the seats in the loft, i'll take alook on wednesday!

 

[clio-lane]

How have you mounted the harnesses behind the seats - any pics?

 

[ben_p]

^^ into the raer seat belt blocks, takes 2mins m8

 

[ch!ppen]

Very nce! I love your car... damn jealous! :approve:
