Due to my highly reputable servicing outlet, not putting the correct volume of engine oil in at the last service, my Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5 V6 was driven for...
Gotta love good service hey, can't really comment on the state of your engine but I had a 30,0000km service done on a Landrover 130 a few years ago. It seems...
Hi Padraic I can only suport what Andrew has said about getting your service people to acknowlege their error but unless you were absolutely thrashing the car...
Iain & Andrew Come on guys let's have a little bit of perspective on this one. I don't think Padraic has got much redress with his mechanic. After all the car...
Hi Paddy, I had a Silvia driven for 60 klm with NO oil and still OK. Did another 60k after that before we got rid of it. Cheers, Tricky H. ... From:...
Hi Ian. I am using MR2 Seats. The base section needs 480mm min. space to fit. The back however will not fit in this space. It is relatively easy to modify to...
Hi Padriac I did not win them on ebay :o( Have been thinking of making my own using some 25x25 box like the chassis thought that if I get some "U" shapes bent...
Iain, I found a centre seat from a Bedford van at a swap meet a few months back that would suit. It was about 430mm wide in total and they wanted 80 bucks for...
Thanks for the offer Tim but I want my seats to match so one would not be enough .My build is +50 at present I have some saas seats in but I am nt happy with...
Yes - I’m getting to the point of putting the panels on!!!!!!! For the aluminium side panels the obvious method is rivets and some glue. But it strikes me...
I can think of 2 options - first is drilling and tapping the chassis rails and then screwing the panels on. The other is to use rivnuts. But either way you'll...
Iain, I didn't buy them in the end. Same as you I figured that one wasn't enough. But assuming the going rate is $80 for the seats, I'd reckon it's worth it...
What's wrong with the White Pointer units? If you want a really cheap option buy these, get some foam, a basic car seat cover, a bit of glue and whamo you'll...
Hi Tim and Andrew I have seen the white pointer seats and they look OK but they are not that cheap at $180 each and then you have to pad and upholster them not...
I agree about the W/P seats. I've also heard that the headrest is tilted back too far and fouls the roll bar on some cars. I also considered an adjustable seat...
Hi Tim I made my roll bar sloping back at the same angle as the seat back bulkhead in the car and the sides are each at 80 deg to the top it looks SO much...
I though the seats had to be ADR approved though? And one of those requirements was that the driver's seat was adjustable as well. But I maybe wrong. Matt E ...
It depends on who you ask. My engineer hasn't heard of that requirement. The ADR test as I understand it is just a load placed on the seat back. ... adjustable...
My engineer hasn't heard of that requirement. The ADR test as I understand it is just a load placed on the seat back. that is what i thought to Tim :o) and as...
Iain, Thanks, but I've organised to get a pair of narrowed MX-5 buckets from another builder. I just need to check with the engineer if they will be suitable...
Does any one know where one might source nice looking aero tube for front wishbones? I know it's a bit of a want factor thing but they do look nice. Just...
Hi Tim I was offering the slides for the pedals . I think that the best thing to do would be to make a set of pedals like the P3-7 boys are using and mount...
I am in the same situation, my Wife wants a drive every now and then. I bought a fibreglass bucket seat, changed it abit to fit my car and then took a mould...
ADR's require adjustable drivers seats? I've re-used a couple of seat rails from an old honda. They work great and were one of the easy to things in the whole...
