Carbon/Kevlar Corbeau Revolution (standard size) now winging it's way to me :approve:

....bye bye Recaro trendlines

I fancy a spare set of Recaros

I look forward to the pics BG + Anthracite turinins = :approve:

I do miss them though

Sad times selling the Turinis.

Yes mate, but needs must

Have you got the subframes and mounts for the new buckets mate?

I've ordered a set of these side mounts (in black) also Chris.

http://www.corbeau-seats.co.uk/seat-accessories/side-mounts/alloyseatmount.html

I presume/hope these will just bolt onto the floor of the clio?

 

[Christopher.]

What the side mounts bolted to the floor ?

 

[Fletcher]

What the side mounts bolted to the floor ?

Yes mate, like so..

[Christopher.]

Are you sure ? you may want to ask someone else but i think you need subframes on a clio as theres noting to bolt to on the floor ? think you would need to fabricate something? again im not too sure tho. If not iv got some OMP subframes.

Ok mate. I'll drop Nick a PM, as he is running Corbeau Revolutions in his cup.

 

[Dave.]

ive been in nicks car with the revolutions, there brilliant, hold you solid, even when tony's driving!

 

[JackJack]

Can't wait for this, revolutions are such a good seat.

 

[Dave.]

im just trying to decide weather to wait until i have a few more quid and get Recaro pole positions, or if i should get revolutions.... which i can afford now.... decisions!

 

[Christopher.]

Pole Positions dave

 

[Dave.]

there just very expensive, though i have been looking at black leather with blue alcantara centres....

 

[Nick172Cup]

ive been in nicks car with the revolutions, there brilliant, hold you solid, even when tony's driving!

Revolutions are the only way dude, them pole posistions look alright but nothing on a wrap around

 

[Dave.]

daily driver though

 

[oliver.james]

there just very expensive

Have a look on capital seating; seem to be a much better price than most!

 

[Dave.]

there vinyl not leather tho

 

[oliver.james]

Oh I missed you were looking at leather; yeah, the price escalates somewhat!!

The black fabric are my favourite I think

 

[JackJack]

Get revolutions dave

 

[Fletcher]

Yeah I had a go in Nick's cup, great seats!

Can't wait for this, revolutions are such a good seat.

Cheers.

daily driver though

I would go for the Recaro PPs Dave, as yours is a daily driver

Hi Fletch
Has your gearbox stopped leaking oil now since we stripped it down and put some sealer between the casings?
Was shocked that sealer was non-existent when we pulled it apart.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Oh dear, hows that come about??

 

[Fletcher]

Hi Mike, I was meaning to contact you guys earlier, but have been very busy today.

Yes it has stopped leaking mate A big thanks to you and the guys at Rentech for sorting it all out, it is very much appreciated from me and Melanie.

Oh dear, hows that come about??

To cut a long story short Agency Transmissions didn't do a very good re-con

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Got my gearbox specialist to thank for it, shame I didn't have him a few weeks earlier. Happy days it's all sorted.
I tried to turn your airbag light off when it was in with the clip system, but it wouldn't let me reconfigure the computer.. Hence printout on seat.

 

[Silent_Scone]

sorry to hear that mate! Agency seem to have had a good rep through others. Glad it's all sorted

I wondered what that printout was Mike, thanks for giving the clip system a go!

The airbag light flashed up when I removed the rear seatbelts..

[Mike@Rentech]

Put some resistors in the connectors for the rear belts.
3.5 ohms will do the job.

 

[TimR26]

Glad it's sorted now mate

Hopefully you can start building up the track miles now.

 

[Fletcher]

Yes mate they have got a good rep, hence why I used them in the first place.

I am very disappointed with them mind :dapprove:

Looks like I'll have to take another trip to Maplin then Fletch.

Yep will do Mike.

Glad it's sorted now mate

Yes matey.

It's only done 700 miles since Jan

 

[Christopher.]

Did you find out about the fixing of the buckets mate ?

Hopefully we will see the last of the gearbox gremlins now !

 

[TimR26]

D-d-d-d-double post. No wonder you've got almost 22000! :rasp:

I am getting there Chris

I presume these OMP subframes will work with the side-mounts and Revolutions?

LOL Tim, CS is playing up for me tonight

 

[Christopher.]

yea, the subframes are there so you have something to bolt onto. the side mounts obviously bolt onto the seats then the whole thing bolts to the subframes, even if the holes dont match up (which they will hopefully) you can drill the subframes then bolt through them. What is nick using ?

 

[TimR26]

Sounds like you've talked yourself it that job Chris

Fletch and I will supervise :rasp:

 

[Sir_Dave]

If ure talking about nick172cup, his are bolted into the floor iirc.

Ive got the omp subframes cos im a shortarse and like to sit a bit higher

IIRC Nick is using some Cobra subframes with his, I'll do some more research tomorrow Chris, and get back to you.

TBH I'll probably get some custom ones done eventually, I just want to get these the buckets fitted ASAP!
