Is the OE one a paper gasket ??? Always thought that was a no-no with forced induction, and that most ppl went with copper or o'rings... or am I
confused ???

some unfortunate news, because of my height from arse to shoulder there seems to be an impossible chance of finding a bucket seat that i fit in, for
harness holes, velo make one that JUST fits, but because its a full head restraint all bells & whistles type, dont think it would fit without
hitting the window/pillar, not to mention making entry/exit near impossible 
only thing i havent looked at yet thats realtively decent is OMP, velo & sparco are no good, that said, boss lady fits in them quite nicely

you just need two normal seats for the street and a driver side race seat only for when you hit the track.

I run a cobra Suzuka. Mine is the GT width from when i was 40kg heavier so the standard will fit easier. I also have a long torso and found this to be
the best option for me. But in the endI have used (in other cars) Racetech, Sparco (various models), Cobra and found the racetech to be the best for
comfort, even though when you try it on in teh shops you think its to short once you strap in tight it all works. Plus it was what I was in during a
130km/hr head on hit into a 1m concrete post.....
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

here
and thanks to Mr hellbugged for the fatter sway bar, will work very nicely with the one for the back i aqquired from Bix, gotta love forums for

guess whos got stuffs???? think i should get the plate sardine after a discussion with a mate
bucket seat to fit my apparently oddly proportioned frame fits with a fly shit to spare, similar to sides' pro2000 but... taller!
canton oil filter relocation block, fixes that problem, pics soon maybe
ooh, and.... some high strength axles to replace the broom handle that was previously residing in that location ...dunno about you but i dont think they are rated
for any hp application, people power though they seem to handle
pics later, busy playing with my toys!
thanks for minding my package DB

fingers crossed this actually works before bluscreen of death comes again....
soo who likes crazy wheel sizes?
18x9.5 +18s
fronts above, rear below
those guards are missing the outer lip, so add about 1inch to the outside & down a lil more, crazy sizes, oh the floorpan is 110mm from the
ground, suspension bottomed out, no bump stops
fronts could be dropped about 60mm further, crazy hey?

in short, ridiculous thats why its only a borrowed wheel, needed spring compressors from a mate to do mustards, grabbed a wheel while i was at it, he
wrote his car off on track so its currently being rebuilt, with a new shell obviously, true about the rears, car has to go up more, lower offset and
or wider and have the real guards on, but i dont wanna cut them to suit the other stuff yet, DB these guards have been worth their weight in gold!
...perhaps more since they are rather light
funny how the tyre stretch matches the bend of the sway bar tho hey? - totally unintentional
