thats interesting considering its a track so does that mean all bucket seats that are not standard are banned, even the steering wheel, understand the cage not being padded though

Im not sure mate i dont really know to much about the ring ...is it what its saying that when its open to the public these rules apply as an everyday cars dont have these modifications as those mods are more race/track cars therefore you would need to book on race days maybe ?

Cars coming along nicely Glenn. Cage looks spot on & I'm glad it went to someone in the club.
That civic is mental. Looked bloody quick in that video you showed me,
You going to make your own frames for the seats? Nice & low?

glenn have you got a link to where he bought the arches from for the civic as il be needing a set of those for my new project ta

Im not sure what that means either nomad to be honest its abit conflicting but i know alot of cars gone with similar seats etc, thanks james still cant get over how clean yours is i am no good at welding etc and wouldnt know where to start to be honest mate so prob have to get some fabricated unless some1 wants to make me some haha ;p no probs bob will get it for you and pm you

why thankyou mr glenn  

btw that civic looks the nuts likey likey

Mmmmmm look what santa sent me this morn got turbo back from AET turbos today ready to fit next week

This weekend i am fitting my 3071r, new manifold, and front exit exhaust, and b&m shortshift. hopefully will all be ready amd running by sunday evening will update  

And put passenger seat in and complete harnesses etc

oulala! nice work!

waht sort of rails do you have for your buckets?? hand made?

I use these fred had them made were around £30 GBP seat is still a little high but fine for my height etc i did not want to send the earth just to fit some seats

is the alloy thick? can't you drop more the bucket?
these mounts are far better than bride or other make because there is enough space to down the bucket low!

looking good mate, be careful with those short shifters though, alot of threads on them in the past saying there not a very good mod to do ill try find you the threads on it as i cant remember what was said but it put me of fitting one on my last three R's. it was on the oc a few times ill dig it out for you

Fred the metal is thick and very very strong, i have low side mounts for the seats and the seat position is perfect for me  if you can mate that would be good, i havnt heard that before bit worried now haha dont want to mess gearbox up really 

how tall are you?

one of the lads on here might be able to help more until i find the threads i honestly cant remember what it was about them it might be nothing mate but i know it put me of fitting them

heres one, now this is only what some people think so it is up to you but its something to do with over throwing the mechanisms in the box as you will read ppg say not to use them, i know this is with a quaiffe box but still, ill find you the other threads

Depends on the shifter & box condition in question, some of the chinese ones are shite full stop.
I had a Tomie short shift on mine since import & it been on for more than 12 years & my gearbox & syncros are fine. Some kits are better than others & don't rely purely on pivot length change but improve the system through new bushes & joints too .

Hhmm im not sure i have a quaiffe box, b&m isnt a cheap chinese one its obviously fairly expensive in comparison to chinese ones, i may have to have a think. Haha

i stillwouldnt put one on whether it be chinese copy tomei or hks or whatever make but thats just me as i said its entirely up to you im just giving an opinion but i dont think our cars need them to be honest

I think i will leave it off for now. I am a great believer in nissan designing stuff for a reason. So will stick with stock for the min. Just a few pics of progress spent am hour or so on it yesterday old exhaust off manifold and old turbo off and on sunday fitting new turbo manifold and exhaust. Will update when have done more

Also fred i am 5"9 so quite short really  haha

So no need to down your bucket so low!
Im 1.88m and i really need to be low!

Ivory really is the best colour nissan I'd the gtir in pics look good mate
