Re: Matt's DA6 - High Comp b16a build - MOT passed.

They're the same seat yes mate, or very similar at least (some clio's also) but these were bought through a recaro dealer, they've not come from a car (OEM part), I've even got the instruction manuals in a sealed bag for each seat.

Re: Matt's DA6 - High Comp b16a build - MOT passed.

Thanks 8) I spent a long while umming whether I could justify the cost, then bought them anyway eventually. I sold the set of brides I picked up to go in the DA as I had a change of mind and thought against them. I test fitted an ATR recaro and liked how it looked, just not the pattern / material an...

Re: Matt's DA6 - High Comp b16a build - MOT passed.

Re: Matt's DA6 - High Comp b16a build - MOT passed.

Has been a while since this has been updated, things have changed. The car is in the unit up on stands, stripped down ready for a full new underseal. I have sourced some new arches from another DA that was being broken. My arches aren't in bad shape, but they're beginning to show bubbles. I intend t...

Re: UK's First Teal EC9 *Manual Conversion,Auto Shifter Remo

As said above, the throttle cable that fits that type of pedal has a metal 'bung' kind of send, instead of the one you have, it's then followed by a rubber bush and a plastic bush with a type of release you usually find on telephone /network cables. Cable goes through the side of the pedal, with the...

Re: Barcelona Green EF9 - G10 baby!

Polish will just wipe off all the plastics too mate, that's not really the worry. It gets in every tiny nook and cranny. Things like under neath the bumper strips, inside door handles etc etc. Then again, if you haven't done it before, you wouldn't know where to tape up, and be surprised where it ge...

Re: Back with a B16 GL!

I fitted an early spec to a later GL without changing any brackets, barring swapping the bumper bar from the GL onto the early bumper.

Re: Luke's White ED7, New Wheels!

That reminds me of my EC9 so much. I had a satin black front bump (granted it was early spec) with a gti lip and the rest colour coded too.

I was really hoping that the wheels picture wouldnt be a teaser, but it is lol.

Re: Back with a B16 GL!

No picture updates but finally got the car started yesterday! Had to jerry rig the main fuel relay so it runs as a constant when the ignition is on ..it's looking like the ECU has been shorted out. Will have to try another ecu and a main relay but I'm happy for now that it runs! I'd get that sorted...

Re: Barcelona Green EF9 - G10 baby!

I just used a rotary / black whole on the EG. Nothing major, just a quick going over and it did bring the colour out a lot better. Ideally it could have done with a little bit of a cut first, but I was short of time. Poorboys stuff though doesnt get dusty, does get everwhere unless you tape it all u...

Re: Back with a B16 GL!

KYBs are excellent shocks.

Nath, does your iPhone add an exclamation mark at the end of every sentence or are you just very, very exited?

Re: Unique GL Bisimoto Project 2013

I cant get round the 5zigen on the GL, doesn't quite look right at all, much preferred the original one madge had. I think if the alloys were a different colour they'd suit a lot better too. If they were the same silver as the VT wheels, they'd look perfect. Excellent buy though, lovely car.

Re: UK's First Teal EC9 *Bump Strips Completed*

Bonnet raisers and the black garnish ruin it for me, before that, with the black rub strips it looked perfect, all be it lacking some wheels.
