finally figured out why their video looks different to what we are describing... they are using a solvent based version of what we are saying. hooked up to a sealed hose and bottle system and hooking that to the engine... im guessing the suction of the engine causes it to slowly be drawn in and does the same job. size of that tube reduces the likely hood that u flood the engine like i said.
i should be studying chemistry and physics for my tests this week but instead i watched youtube... :/ oh dear

How many people would be interested in purchasing carbon fibre vinyl from me? I can get the 3m stuff in 1220mm x 420mm squares or i can get a similar product in 1220mm or 610mm x whatever amount of metres you want??

There is not really any benefit of gb in this circumstance because i order it through work. Rupe if it were to be 1500x1220 it would have to be the stuff that is not 3m of which im gonna get some in as a sample for bourbon to see what the quality is like..? So if the quality is similar to 3m which im told it is, ill be able to order in a fair bit. The price still wont be really cheap but alot cheaper than importing vinyl from the US. I'll keep everyone posted.

if they are 100% APPROVED not just sort of aproved cus they are based of the recaros (mostly the case for ebay buckets) then its easy. u take it to autobarn and say fitt it. or to any other place. even easier is to get the adapter rails and just put them in your self. in either case u will need to get a engineer to come out and give u a mod plate for them. if they are not 100% approved then it will e hard. if they ar they will come with the agr tag either on them or with them somewhere

they have to be qt approved. im mechanical engineer i cant do it exactly lol
those seats say that they comply with 02 and 03 which seems to be ok cus that at least is seat and ancorage related but i dunno if its true or not. its just a mod plate alot of places can do it or have somone that does it. it cost me 140 but if u have more things it wont cost u much more. they can stick like 5 different codes on one plate so if u want to get like turbo, seats and wheels and steering wheel doen u pay for one plate + the labour included. plates themselfes shoud be around 90 plus the labour ontop |

yer thats what alot of peeple think u can only go 2" bigger in rim size.
Thats got nothing to do with it. its all about rolling diameter and putting out the speedo. I went from 14" to 17" and am still within the rolling diameter. I can also argue the sports version of my car came out with 16" rims.
