i found that! but that prob because you were speaking to people that didnt know what they were on about tbh! i think if you use the term CAP BOLTS ind strengh 12.9 that should make a few think! rather worrying then these people work in fixings and fasternings companys! they will do the job! and you can use the existing nuts! (they have a washer already included) iirc i used a washer on top thought great look forward to pics!!!!!!!! dont over tighten as there not the best of nuts (a bit soft) and 12.9 is a bit over kill tbh but better be safe then sorry!!

 

[Timmay]

i gotta ask tho what is this 12.9 lark?

 

[paul]

strengh of the bolt (quality)

As paul said, the strength, so that if you have a prang the seats aren't going to come lose of the car.

 

[paul]

or sheer sp through! all bolts have a strengh - some fold up under impact - would just sheer off

8.8 iir is standard and will be ok really 10.9 is better and 12.9 is as i say a little over kill - why i know all this ill never know as i have nothing to do with fixings and fasternings! haha

 

[Timmay]

ah cheers guys

 

[paul]

^^ bet you feel complete now Timmay! dont forget to tell the wife what you have learnt today! :rasp:

Soon as the seats are in!! Had to get the bolts from ebay, the companies/shops round here are clueless, said 12.9 and most were adamant that you can't get them anywhere, so hopefully should be here tomorrow, fitted tomorrow. Might get the passenger seat out ready.

I had the same trouble looking for a bubble for my spirit level......




Looking forward to seeing the seats in

They keep them next to the left handed stapler IIRC

 

[Timmay]

[ForceIndia]

One FLOL, been waiting for the bolts, came in today. Getting the paint work done for free, in exchange for the 182 alloys, bonus!!

 

[Timmay]

ah now thats a deal!

 

[ForceIndia]

Couple of pics from bedford, car in desperate need of a wash.

 

[Hazza]

Those seats look emmence!!

 

[ForceIndia]

Very supportive and comfy, very impressed given how cheap I got them, £300 with subframes!

 

[Timmay]

im loving those seats

any more updates then warren?

can i have her back?

 

[Ali]

I'd ride in it...

 

[Christopher]

Nice. Naith's old ones?

 

[riz]

not at the moment, i think he is recovering from wearing turn up jeans on his stag do, massive Faux pas

 

[paul]

flol! any pics?

 

[Timmay]

unimpressed with lack of update warren!

 

[ForceIndia]

Best seats I've had. More lateral leg support than Recaro's/Cobra's. Done a few very long journey's and they've been very comfy.
Getting some quotes for the paintwork next week, needs to be done!

That tard wore a pop-button shirt to my stag do, was frequently torn open. Never new a man could hold his breath in for that long.

 

[Timmay]

sounds a leg end

 

[ForceIndia]

Still not sure what to do with the ****. I want to rip the back seats out and carpet the rear, but then the boot is basically useless.
Brakes will be done next week (Ferodo/Brembo/Hoses).
Then the wait begins for someone to write off their Twingo RS so I can nab the steering wheel.

 

[Timmay]

keeping the bonnet black or getting full paint job?

 

[ForceIndia]

Full paint job. Back to it's flaming best! Saw it's reflection the other day, just thought 'f**king awful'.

 

[Timmay]

yeah i was like that everytime i went passed a glass fronted building!

still eventually gonna go racing blue?

 

[ForceIndia]

Lots changed. Now painted, new wheels, new steering wheel.

And now up for sale!

[Ads_172]

Blast from the past, and looking sweet.

 

[kevin.s]

[Coby.]

Tidy it then Sell it??

Whats next fella?

If it sell's, an R26. If not I'll keep it, then spend some cash for 190ish bhp. Not unhappy with the car, just got a good chance of a decent meg, low miles, sensible price.

 

[Coby.]

Nice.... The more I see r26's the more tempting they become.... Hoping to avoid Renault for the next car though.

Sell the 1.2's with Tyres Seperately??

 

[clio_luke]

that is really coming along now!
would be a shame to sell.

 

[ForceIndia]

Xenons fitted

 

[Naith]

chav, looks s**t



handles well tho (apparently)

 

[Fred@BTM]

handles averagely with its "bent rear axle"
