Thought that would be the issue lol. Yea mine is hopless as well ar far as reaching stuff in the car and to get in/out of but visibility is good where it doesnt have the head supports. Love it though, sooo supportive and i like how you sit 'in' the seat rather than on it.

Already got a corbeau sprint but need a passenger seat. Going to get another sprint

Passengers don't need anything fancy. (although my passenger seat is more expensive, and i waited 6 months for it) but don't worry about what i did

SaxoIOW · 30th September 2010, 19:27

I suppose but i like to be all matching lol. On another note i got the flocked dash fitted today looks so good

I will try and sort some pics of the seat/dash and update my thread tomorrow!

Sorry for hijacking the thread adamskiTNR. But where did you get the dash flocked and price?

SaxoIOW · 30th September 2010, 19:31

Bought it Iwlaurence for 50 quid. Not sure where he had it done though. Streamline carbon have started flocking (youv'e probably already seen) but that looks very good quality, may be worth a look!

£50? Bloody hell you lucky fucker.
Yeah i'd seen that but is gonna be a pain in the ass taking dash out and not having one for a couple of weeks..

adamskiTNR · 30th September 2010, 19:51

Dam hijack! I'm sure i will get over it.

Race battery installed tonight. Was a bit of a faff having to rewire all the battery cable through the car to thicker stuff. anyway.

Mochachino · 7th October 2010, 22:32

Dont these lose charge easily? Looks good though, and a good balanced weight saving.

adamskiTNR · 7th October 2010, 22:35

They discharge easily if you leave anything on. And discharge if you leave them for a while. So if you are going on holiday you put it on a conditioner charger that keeps it topped

Mochachino · 7th October 2010, 22:36

I see I see, havnt really heard or looking into them much to be honest. I knew they lose charge more easily than a normal everyday car battery though. Cheers.

Looks very well done. Re locating my battery to the boot is on the to do list, need to order the fiberglass box to mount it in.

Colin · 8th October 2010, 14:56

Looks good Adam, mine never loses charge. Bought mine, didnt put it in the car for months then it started first time. Always leave mine for months and months and it always fires up, just isolate the battery. But I have poly windows so i can lean in and switch it on/off lol.

adamskiTNR · 8th October 2010, 15:38

Thanks colin. I isolate it whenever i get out the car anyway. Bit of a pain if you forget as you open everything with central locking, then turn it off and have to go round the car locking each door lol.

adamskiTNR · 8th October 2010, 15:53

grrhhhhhhhh!!!
Some bellend decided to drive into the back of my car today. Parked up opposite my house, in a cul de sac bear in mind. I don't think he had a license as the van was parked up about 20 metres away when i parked. He must have pulled off and just gone straight into my car. He said the brakes didn't work. His dad slapped him in the back of the head for that one lol. Luckily it is just bumper damage and no shell damage was done.

FairDoos · 8th October 2010, 16:17

I hate people like that i had this discussion with my mate the other day he was like what would you do if you brakes failed, pull the handbrake, What if that failed, go through gears to first, what if your gears fail turn sharply left to right to slow the car down

I dont like people that use that excuse he clearly wasent looking where he was going..

adamskiTNR · 8th October 2010, 16:40

But it wasn't that, it was the fact that the van was parked like 20 meters away when he pulled off. He must have not known how to steer. The rest of the road was clear, just my car tot the left next to the trees

adamskiTNR · 8th October 2010, 16:52

God knows how my little saxo got away with such minor damage. The van had headlights gone, bonnet and hinges mashed, bumper etc.

Just a cracked, broken bumper and scuffed paint. Should of got a pic of his

mark1311 · 8th October 2010, 17:13

shit man, is the actuali bumper cracked or just bent in? if its just bent in take it off heat gun it from behind and will pop probs untill you get a new bumper

adamskiTNR · 8th October 2010, 17:29

It's bent in and cracked. You can kind of see the line, bad angle really
