lmao, bit overboard there. Imagine the full pump, sits in, we have a curcle bit at the bottom so it can sit in there (lower down) that way it reduces full starvation on corners!

That can only be a good thing the last corner at brands hatch before the start/finish straight my engine kept cutting out momentarily when it had less than a quarter tank so i think stuff like this and baffled sumps can only be a good thing

Thats called fuel surge and yea its what baffled sumps and swirl posts are for stopping as its when fuel runs away in the tank so the pump gets starved

I used sparco sliders in my old car and they are pretty good. Im not a short ass but i sit right smack close to the wheel when i drive and i found they let me do that. Also they raised the seats up that extra inch or so making for a much more comfortable drive.

Looks like I've been allowed in now so here's my work so far:
The spare wheel seat, while handy, is quite uncomfortable!

never seen this, dont really wanna go with sliders, and after the initial uncomfortableness of being EVEN lower to the ground i started to like it, feel alot more planted and really felt like i could throw it about more being secured properly. theyre not the best of seats but theyre a FUCK load better then standard R seats

I used them with sprint 5 and they were perfect for me. Took a while to get used to not being able to see over the bonnet that well but hey..

Yeah fixed is ideal but doesn't work for everyone. The one's i had were genuine sparco one's and although a pain to fit they never let me down and its suprising how often you have to move your seat backwards and forwards those few extra inches.

Relatively standard setup. Back seats, and plastics out, carpet out, all sound deadening out apart from the stuff behind the dash. (I did end up taking the B pillar plastics and the carpet crap on the back arches out after the pics)
