I wanted to take a picture of the side-pipe tips that were added recently to show-off.

Clearly, my son was very impressed with the side-pipes (and the car generally) and looks to be planning some ganster-style get-aways.

Hey Mike what are the seats in your car? I'm still searching for something that will fit.

May have found a pair of old recaros, that will need mods, but at least these have a v narrow rear unlike the amazing amount of wide assed seats I have looked at so far.

Clearly proof that the population are generally getting fatter bums, if the manufacturers have to build seats to fit the king kongs of this world!!

Maybe we should build wider cobras?!??

Let me know about the seats.

Cheers

Steve

Mmmm.. superior combustion and ignition results in little excess heat from the exhaust valve..

Think this means I'm putting out less hot air..

Default Fat Rear

Hello Stephen

the seats are by OBX they are a superceeded model. I got them from

http://www.onautos.com.au/store/

they were $440 for the pair.

ADR tag on the seats - most important.

I think I fall squarely into the King-Kong category and the seats dont sit as low as I'd like but are nice and firm and hold onto the occupant quite well.

Otherwise the driving position is nice.

There will be a problem with range of slide if I go for ICV (anyone know what it has to be)

May eventually get something that sits right on the floor. The shape of the floor at the back of the cabin is a limiting factor with the RMC.
