passenger seat sorted and in bit of a nightmare but it's finished now ! not looking forward to drivers side

[Rickwoo118]

Looking forward to pics. Bet they look nice. What's next on your agenda?

[Sammyturbo]

Pics of the passenger seat and harnesses in place. It sits lower than the standard seat which looks slightly odd but should be ok when the drivers side is fitted








Rickwoo118 - I would like some nitrons next and TD's but will have to get saving I will keep chipping away with interior bits too eventually all the red will be gone for carbon fibre I may get door cards this month

[Rickwoo118]

Looks better already now the red is half gone. Seats look a good fit.

[Sammyturbo]

All fitted just need to sort door cards now

[Rickwoo118]

Nice. Like you said the door cards would finish it off.

[Bumblebee]

Those seats look comfy!

[Sammyturbo]

They are pretty good plenty of leg support maybe even a bit too much !

[Sammyturbo]

TD's now fitted only had a quick drive to the garage to check pressures but steering feels allot lighter plenty of feedback still there. Extended test drive tomorrow night so should get a good feel for them then.

They don't half look small though coilovers next to get it a bit lower

[Bumblebee]

Will defo look better a bit lower lol

[Bumblebee]

With all suspension topics going on have you decided what to go for?

[Sammyturbo]

Well I was thinking nitrons but qauntams get good reviews I will only be doing 2/3 trackdays at the most a year ! I spend more time doing road trips. Going to speak to Ollie at phoenix Motorsport and get his opinion as he will be fitting whatever I get.

Looking good. The wheels do look so small.....what tyres you got on them?

[Sammyturbo]

front tyres are 195/45/16 Toyo T1R's and the rears are 215/50/17

[Bumblebee]

Aw that's why the wheels look smaller as the tyres are a smaller diameter

[Sammyturbo]

What are the usual sizes people use ?

[Bumblebee]

The vxr spec is 195/50/16 and 225/45/17 if the fronts aren't available in that size ppl go for 205/45/16 although I've gone for 215/45/16 as this is the same diameter as 195/50/16 but wider

[Sammyturbo]

Productive day today

 

Replaced the cam cover breather hose as I was getting wisps of smoke from the engine bay im pretty sure that was the cause looking at the condition it was in !! Replaced with a Courtenay sport item.

 

 

 

 

 

Also fitted my new water ingress cover (Thanks AndyWilson )

Can't believe you managed without a water ingress cover. You had no issues in the past with water etc?
