@optical Was about £330 all in from Capital Seating I believe with the CS discount. Then you just need 8 M8 x 16mm High tensile capped allen bolts to fix the frames to the seat, everything else is reused – Bolts were about £2! Word of warning – The threads on the factory rails are easy that you...

Nice one, have seen you driving down there before I think a few months ago. Is he just a general garage or performance orientated? Always wondered what that astra GSI has had done to it as well? Sounds great. Sure I had a play with it a few months ago (Dark so not 100%), and looked like it was...

Nice 53 plate dark blue 172 on gold 2118s, parked outside my studio on hoo farm at the moment. Looks really tidy! I've got the silver 172 parked right opposite.

All sorted now. M8 x 16 if anyone is interest for future ref.

Hi All, Just had my recaro mounts delivered from Captial Seating to fit trendlines, but there was no bolts supplied with the frames? Can anyone confirm if bolts should be supplied (From looks of instructions they should be), and in either case, what bolts are needed to fit them? Cheers, T

SamHowell Nice one. Where di you get your bolts from if you don't mind me asking? Seems tricky to get hold of the right bolts for mount the subframe to side mounts, and for mounting the subframes to the car...

Looks great fella... How did you get on fitting the seat? Is it on the standard supplied side mounts?

Thanks – They don't seem to be available anywhere though? Also seem to be a lot of people saying they don't fit without rewelding etc?

Hi all, Know this has been asked before, but a good look through searches seems to bring up a lot of conflicting information. I've just purchased a Corbeau club sport XL seat for my ph2 172, but need side mounts and a subframe to mount it to... It was second hand so doesn't come with...

Totally agree to be honest... Have had this several times myself when selling cars. As a seller, I'm hardly likely to hold a car for someone who hasn't seen it, if I have 10 viewings the day before the other party may, or may not turn up. Personally don't think it would take that much to get...

Possible cheap trophy for someone! (Looks to be repaired Cat C and tatty at the moment)... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-RENAULT-CLIO-TROPHY-182-like-r26-225-197-renaultsport-cheap-/281428854282?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item418677860a Would snap it up myself if I had the cash spare!

Really interested to see the results of the home-made dash. Have to say it'd be a crime to not let it look epic visually though... Would love to discuss designing the 'front end' visuals for it with you. Perhaps drop me an email if it's of interest: workwith@tristan-palmer.com :) T
