Personally found it easier to get the spanish passngers apart from the few week wait! Progress is underway for this weeks work, just cant wait to get some bits finished which'll allow me to fit the main bits in the car.

Cheers guys, can't take credit for the house though it's my parents.

As for the suspension, I'm running a H&R Cup Kit + 9mm Halfords Spacers... Used to run 15mm Eibach Spacers but got a little bit too much arch rub for my liking.

Will have some more pictures this week as theres been some drastic changes.

Well there's been a few more things done since the last time, mainly interior work. So here's the new additions;

- Recaro Speed Style Leather Seats
- Re-Trimmed Leather Rear Seats
- Custom Sub-Frames
- Momo Race 320mm Steering Wheel
- Momo Boss Kit
- TRS 3 Point Saftey Harnesses in Silver


The pictures are of it when it was first done, I'd just leather treated the seats hence why their still shiney, they are more of a dull finish leather in real life.

Also at this current moment in time the car's front end is in bits, the Forge Intercooler and H&R Cup Kit have been removed and the new bits going on are;

- Peloquin ATB Differential
- H&R Coilovers
- Vibra-Technics Race Engine Mounts
- Aquamist
- B&M Quick Shifter
- SPEC Stage 3 VR6 Clutch
- SPEC Billet Steel G60 Flywheel
- Powerflex Poly Bushes All Round
- Custom Larger FMIC

Very nice! I love all the subtle mods, must be costing you a fortune!?

Do you know where the discs on your original Brembo's were from? I was looking into getting some grooved or drilled discs.
Cheers

I got the seat's at a reasonable price, around £500.00 for the pair if I remember rightly, then I had to make some custom sub-frames as all the pre-made ones available sat too high. I wanted the position just right, it sits low but gives you a good field of view.

As for the discs in the first picture, their from Bill Brockbank @ Badger5, I believe he is still able to get these if not you can have certain machine shops cut grooves into a normal Brembo disc.

craig the seats look awesome!! have you removed the original seatbelts? I find that the original seats are quite high and i dont like to use the pimp lever on the left hand side of the drivers seat cuz it makes the two seats look different!

Craig!,
Was your insurance company OK with you having a steering wheel with no airbag?
Does look good though.

The steering wheel was the least of their worry's when they heard what else it's running or soon to be running. You need to find a specialist company to cover a car once you go to the extreams of interior, differentials and big turbo.

As for the seat belt's, yep removed them all for the time being. Thinking of putting a centre lap belt (hidden under the seat of course) back in, just in case of lift emergencies. But in all honesty I hate people in the back, that's why it got harness's, never liked been 3 up in a small lowered hatchback.
