So the cars been off the road for over 4 weeks now since killing the gearbox, its been sent off to gripper to get one of there new 2014 Limited Slip Diffs fitted, they have had it 3 weeks and still havnt even stripped it down :dapprove:
Soo took the time to find a decent way of mounting my cruise control buttons to my recently fitted 300mm sparco wheel
i wanted to keep using the standard buttons to keep it looking half neat and tidy so i basically drilled 4 holes through the CC buttons and steering wheel and bolted them on! Ill let the pictures do the talking
So i ground it down abit so it would sit flush then drilled one extra hole into the button
Then put it in the position i wanted it and went for gold (well my dad did while i stood and took pictures)
And fitted! Then 4 little screws through with nuts on the back, the one one the left is abit low down which was dissapointing
Then all finished off nicely with some cut down dust caps that pop perfectly over the head of the screws hahaha!

Looks good mate. Good colour choice
Doing a lot of mods I'm done/going to do New rs badge looks good. I'm awaiting one in group buy.
Would be interested to see the carbon bits fitted.

cars back on the road now, loving the LSD! So much grip and is so planted in the corners compared to before, got the PMS solid top mounts and strut brace fitted, powerflex ARB bushes, 15mm spacers, yoko AD08R's, and vibra technics engine/gearbox mounts, also got the new scorpion center cection fitted to replace my blowing old one not a huge difference in loudness but its better!
Got a machine polisher bought and gave it a quick going over, (about 6 hours)
Didn't come up to bad for a first attempt.

Well todays boredom was cured by removing the rear seats and making a boot carpet for the 182, standard seats look abit out of place now so looking for some trophy trendlines if anyone knows of some for sale ?
Filled in the dip with some off cuts
Got enough carpet left to make another 2 if anyone wants to buy one make me an offer, didnt turn out to bad for a few hours work id say.

You can get the subframes from Capital Seating I believe, R-Sport Cars had some in his Flamer 172.
LY 182
im sure the actual 197 seats use a different setup to the recaro sportsters so the subframes wont match up to the 197 seats,
R-Sports seats were bought brand new from capital seating, were not took out of a 197
I'll buy one of the sections of rear carpet off you josh just drop me a pm, cars looking sick!
Can't you just get some custom subframes made to put the 197 seats in?

PM sent, i probably could but its finding someone capable and that isnt going to charge hundreds, toying with the idea of a cage and fixed back buckets...

Well a couple of weeks ago i got a whiteline rear ARB fitted, purchased from ears motorsport
Then had to have a quick blast over the moors to test it, it made a huge improvement to turn in!
Then today i had a rather long journey to Gloucester to pick up a pair of Recaro profi Spg's and sabelt harnesses from PaulyA610
And got them fitted this evening...

Haha cheers! I swore i would keep it standard'ish' when i bought it, coilovers are next on the list as its raised up a fair bit with all the weight out. And nope only problems have been that missfire when i first picked it up, then the diff managed to eat itself, and a few weeks ago it started cutting out and not starting etc, changed a coolant temp sensor and it seems to have fixed it, touch wood!
