Get a GF that lives in a different post code. Sorted. So Steve is looking to buy seats....

marcs_sp20 · 25-09-2009, 07:48 PM

You know you want a set

02-KQ-LASR · 27-09-2009, 03:12 PM

why the change of mind with the seats???

marcs_sp20 · 27-09-2009, 04:32 PM

cause i can

answer my PM ffs!

marcs_sp20 · 27-09-2009, 08:07 PM

to answer the question properly, Im basically stuck in a ruck so to speak, I dont know if I wanna keep spending money on the car or not, and what to spend it on...

The car is getting repaired in February due to recieving my rating 1 for life in December.

I'm still stumped as to If I should purchase an autoexe lip (when one comes up or if a damned US ebay seller would reply to emails) or paint up the front bar I already have, but then the rest of the kit wouldnt flow so would need different skirts...

So yeah, thats my dillema...

70NYD · 27-09-2009, 08:39 PM

unless the seats are uncomfertable i would recomend keeping them.. im used to myn now, and going in to standard ones i feel like im sitting in a truck, and its really heary around corners, cus there is not lat support there like im used to..
i do understand what u mean mate, really, i hit a peak now astina wise, and anything else that i want to do to it would mean financial comitments that outweigh the cost of the car itself..
best of luck man
tony

marcs_sp20 · 27-09-2009, 08:58 PM

Their is a substancial difference between the race seats & the standards, all I have to do is sit in the laser for a comparison. No Side supports, very cushiony (which is not bad though) and well yeah...

also when trying to throw money in other directions (ie wedding, holiday etc) is always fun

marcs_sp20 · 30-09-2009, 08:49 PM

THE KIT IS GOING AHEAD

After a few long days of thinking, I have come to my senses & will kit the car after all, it wont get done overnight, but will be going ahead.

I have updated my readers rides with plans for the car, and hope to have them done by the time the car gets repaired, so giving myself 4 months... then its save for a wedding

and maybe by then I'll have a new retro project

Hey Marc, Sounds excellent.

Im thinking about a kit as well and Im still looking at the Buddy Club 2 kit (although I might change out the rear bumper for a Wings West or something). I want to get a fibreglass/plastic composite kit - i.e. vFiber.

Im going to try to see if I can get a kit shipped from the USA on sea freight through I contact I have. I know that the next shipment they are doing is in December, so if you have anything you need from the States I can let you know if I have any success.

Cheers.

marcs_sp20 · 04-10-2009, 07:03 PM

Took some random shots while at the coast yesterday...

once the bar goes, will keep that monies in reserve for either an Autoexe front lip or progress rear sway bar...

Cheers
Marc
