This model has a flip lever on both sholders of the seat - so it doesnt matter which way they go in
I purposely swapped them round so as to have easy access to the adjusting knob from the middle.
There isnt enough room to get your hand down there when the door os closed.
These fit really well (520mm wide base) and dont hinder access to the hand brake in any way
I run door pockets and there is no pressure there either - just not enough room for a hand
It is useful as most people that sit there are "one offs" and usually want to adjust after you have started driving
Make sense. At least you can adjust without having to open the door because of the tight restrictions.
Recaro's really do make driving a pleasure, especially on long trips. They are worth every cent in my book.
I agree that Recaros are the best, but I fitted some Honda Prelude seats in my sons bug and they are equal to Recaros, we've done several long trips with them.
Stoopid question number 43,578 are the Recaros standard in a Proton Satria GTI, just wundrn as you mention that you got them outa one and I have been looking for new seats for my buggy for ages and having trouble finding ones that fit.
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

mazda mx5 seats are ideal, thats what I have for my J&S.😎
Craig I'll be down in Nowra over the weekend coming back sometime Monday, I'll have the car with me, PM your number and address and if I can make it I'll contact you. Assume they are MX5 seats. 👍
Thanks

Tony Holden at Silverwater gave my car a tidy up with a bubble or two in cancer and a new coat of 2 Pac in the original Martini Olive
There wasnt a lot of rust - literally a bubble here and there.
This paint is a bitch to match so I had it completely dont on the outside
Had the 2nd LHD wiper holes welded as well as the "L" holes so as I could run just the 1303 L badge
Futue te ipsum!!!

Not a lot - just driving him
Been retired from company car duties a year ago.
Still gets driven to work Fridays and on the weekend.
Just struggled going to meetings on 40 degree days in a suit and an un airconditioned day
Also all this rain lately, and with my car living outside under cover, you still get water in a carb and blocking a jet every now and then
Whatever, finally got rid of the cloth interior.
It just shows the dirt. Having a dog doesnt help. Especially a big dog.
Anyway, got some TMI seat covers and a rear cargo speaker tray.
Still having trouble trying to keep the water off the door cards from the inside.
I have lined it with plastic, but it is still wet in heavy rain.
When they dry, i will pull them and paint them.
Should help a lot
As for your question about the wheels - if you are talking the chrome ones. I diddnt like them. Poor quality chrome, started to rust and wrong offset.
If you are talking the V Force spiders - yep, nice wheel. Especially for a 15" stock bolt pattern
Barry, I made my door cards out of ply (bit lighter, and more durable I reckon) and primed it well all over before I had it lined.
I also put my plastic waterproofing sheet outside the internal door frame, but inside the window glass - basically, I stuck it to the outside of the inside skin.
This was also to keep moisture out of the remote central locking and the electric windows.

Do you think we could have class action and VW to pay for these speedo upgrades, after all they are the ones that put the speedo in a hard to read position.🤪

I thought I would add some pics of the latest mods
Dunno if I like the art direction but I sure love the function
Parking outside all these years, I never realized how much water gets inside the engine compartment and into the dual carbs
I put a glass filter/regulator on to see if the crud was coming from the tank - bit no.
It had to be coming in through the filters.
Anyway, I got this louvre from VVDS and I wish I bought it years ago.
No more crud or water in the carbs. No more pops and farts.
