New mirrors and seat - I treated myself for my 40th birthday!
Mirrors:

Awesome car with some really choice mods...
I gotta get my Recaro in too :thumb: |
Good to hear of another man not afraid to treat himself for his 40th birthday. I did the same last year, only I want to continue treating myself with bits for the scooby. I know I shouldn't but can't help myself. Some of us need a 'Scooby Anonymous'. Also glad that someone else has the 'wife effect'. I'm currently having to keep all mods under the bonnet and now that I have just passed 40, trying to think of an excuse for 'needing' the afterburner vortex and new spoiler.

Doesn't the seat obstruct your side view?
The car is looking good :) |
You have got such a loverly RA there. I have truly fallen in love with it.
I lovn' the WRC style mirrors and the hardcore Bucket seat. |
Very nice car mate i love the new mods :)
|
Did you manage to get the side mounting on the seat fixed to the sliders? If so how, was thinking of getting the Prodrive sparco seat for the P1.

Can i ask where did you get the mirrors from and do they do them for new age cars.Looks stunning mate:thumb:

We took the subrame off the STi seat, and mounted this to the side mountings that came with the Sparco seat - these ware then bolted to the original floor mounts (hope that makes sense)? The Sparco seat is "fixed" via bolts onto original runners - but these bolts can be taken out if the seat needs to mvoed forwards/backwards. Here are the mountings: Front http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...8/IMG_0740.jpg Rear http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...8/IMG_0741.jpg |

The car is looking good :) The STi is used for hillclimbs and sprints and does approximately 1,000 miles per annum - so day to day driving is not much of an issue. I did have concerns over the seat but once you are strapped in, the feeling of being "one with the car" is great. Richard |
happy birthday mate,
cars looking great :thumb: |
I do like the seat Richard, but doesnt the helmet restraint restrict your sideways vision?

I use a Sparco Pro Jet open face helmet, and as I am the only car on the hill, I don't have to worry about sideways vision (unless the DCCD launches me into a field!). The helmet restraint is not as intrusive as the photograph show. |
Happy Birthday, Richard. I am sorry I meant to call you up and do it personally on the phone, but last week turned into one of "those weeks" AND this week ain't going to be any better. 5 Cars to finish and have out the door for Xmas, all engine rebuilds and so-on.
Have great Xmas and a successful 2008 racing season. Thanks for your custom this year. [AND the bottle of wine ] David APi |
