nice work bru (shouldn't it be under 'brakes & suspension' on your RR?)
you need to get a rear sway bar, you'll notice that a lot

Get a Progess rear 22mm swaybar. It is a breeze to install (ask Gav - easiest install on the car to date :P) and comes with anti-clunk built-in. I got mine off eBay for around $200 and arrive quickly with no hassles.

Well today I purchased some seats:
There Autotecnica seats, ADR approved, and for $300 for the pair, I couldnt leave them there! good thing about these seats is that they really hold in my fat ass, something the SP20 seats dont... I also took the seat rails out as well for fitment, turns out the rails are 15mm wider then the anchor points on the seats, so next weekend I'll be getting some 5mm flat bar steel to make up some brackets for fitment. exciting times Whats in store for the car after this? Not much really, get the side of the car repaired, and thats about it. front lip will come in time, but main thing is just getting out and driving it CHeers Marc

I've got some Recaro's Marc, outta the GTX I'm pilfering How would you cover these? I think the standard seats would be more kinda on the ass & back for the trip up to see you guys

I have those slip on seat covers, at least they will cover the front, not overly worried about the rear...
