Fordy_87 · 12th July 2009, 23:09

Aron · 13th July 2009, 10:08

the joys of buying french again hey Dan.

get it stripped or just lightened and it will be an animal mate

At least you got valid reasons for it breaking, most of us have broken cars from general wear and tear not DIY Throttle body stuff

the main issue at the start was it not starting and I admit that was my own fault. What ever is wrong with it now I have no idea. It just did it when I got home last night after a long run. Tried it again today, Lambda reading of 0.76 which is overfuelling badly. And it runs like shit.

Its unlikely to be sorted in a while too as been back at work I dont have the time.

It works again now, it was the smallest thing.The pipe that comes from the head and goes into the sump had come loose from the head.put it back in the head and all is fine again.

So I made a bit of fuss out of nothing lol.

On a side note, glad it's fine again matey and that was only something silly

Well the new seats are in. Iv taken a few pictures,there not the best but you get the idea.

The Recaro is such a better seat, the only problem is there was only one of them. The driving position feels strange as its a lot higher than the recaro and not as firm.

jpsaxo · 14th July 2009, 06:24

Im not so sure about those seats Dan!

makaveli144 · 14th July 2009, 08:27

In all honesty Josh im not sure about them either. I would love another recaro but I cant find a matching one. Im going to give these a few days and see how they feel.

Call up some scrappies for some recaros matey, probably loads just rotting away somewhere

makaveli144 · 14th July 2009, 14:19

Iv been looking on ebay, but they are all a different colour to mine so I would end up buying two and dont really wanna do that,

Bickerton · 14th July 2009, 14:20

Do you know what it was out of originally?

makaveli144 · 14th July 2009, 14:39

Yea, its a recaro speed seat, you can still but them but they have altered the colour schemes.

They came in civics and jdm integras but in different colours to mine again.

makaveli144 · 14th July 2009, 17:07

The drivers side corbeau seat is coming out and the recaro is going back in.the recaro is such a better trackday seat as it is so much firmer and with it been a track car it's more important how it feels rather than how it looks. So the corbeau will be sold cheap if anyone is interested.

Does the corbeau matchish the recaro? if not may aswell sell em as a pair and buy a random single seat thus making

makaveli144 · 14th July 2009, 17:30

They look almost identical from behind,just from the front you can tell really.we will see how they look when I change them,hopefully tonight.
