Title: fiddy+ update
Post by: fiddy+ on February 20, 2009, 08:57:59 PM
Hi guy\'s,thanks for the warm welcome,feel at home already.
Bit of an update on the mistress!She\'s had a suspension upgrade,
Tokiko shocks and eibach springs,(1 inch drop)
Uprated front anti rollbar,
Removed rear anti rollbar,
Part way through urethane bush replacement,
7 inch 17 alloys with 205x45\'s,
Stainless exhaust,
Kenlowe fan.
Semi whaletail spoiler.
At the moment i\'m looking for black leather seats,and a power steering setup that i can crowbar in.I know this might make some of the purists out there gag but at the moment a three point turn is like trying to pull a cop out of Mcdonalds,anyway i think i might be going straight to hell for contemplating fitting round rear light\'s.
That\'s it for now(corrie\'s nearly finnished and i get to play with the remote).One last thing,just finnished stripping the windscreen surround and gutter trim and polished on the wheel and they dazzle,
see you later guy\'s

sounds good any photos?
the leather seats are like hens teeth you may be better looking at getting them covered, i think there was a optional extra for leather in the US which is where mine came from.
also might be worth trying to source power steering from the US as they also had it on the GSL-SE gen1 s3 model

Hi Mark,I\'m not holding out for rx7 seats i\'m looking at audi tt or e30 recaro\'s,something along those lines and just modify the subframes,same as the power steering,i want to go rack and pinion with an electric pump.The most likely candidate so far is a late focus setup,but i have to do some more homework first.

sounds interesting, i think a lot of people would be interested in a power steering conversion!
the FD seats go in fairly easly

The power steering was an upgrade for the steering box. Re-speed do a full conversion but they only do a LHD model only because they struggle to get a RHD steering rack at a reasonable cost. The dollar isn\'t help either !
