Bit of a update,well Carl got to work removing old engine and found RUST!!! :@ Apparently quite a common place but not as rotten as this,thankfully Carl knows his pugs very well and got to work plating and painting it up,properly chucked how it turned out hopefully no more expensive surprises.       .   ________________________________________ Rallye build: 11 November 1998 - a WednesdayTeam rallye,built for track ----Click this if you like rallyes Rallye dead Secret Team Astor... |

I got these of eBay and received them today.they are recaro treadline,many found in evo 5,Clio trophy, r26,accord type r.I had this type of seat in my old accord type r and thought they where great supportive seat.know I'm getting old I need to relax,f**k having proper buckets again :So here they are not a amazing condition but very good considering what I paid,just trying to so something different as never seen these in 306     Dig out some old sliders,quite literally see the mud  Here s the base already has a steady looking frame with a few holes in    Had a little play around,feeling quite postive they can be bodged fairly easily.Just have to make a plate to clear the bottom of the seat with the base plate I'm probably going to use. ________________________________________ Rallye build: 11 November 1998 - a WednesdayTeam rallye,built for track ----Click this if you like rallyes Rallye dead Secret Team Astor... |

I put a set of these in my ep3 I fitted recaro dc5 seats rail much lower than standard was the best mod I done , do yours have the blow up thing to make your bolsters harder ?  ________________________________________ "Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.

So do you think its worth it getting recaro fitting kit to get the seat lower? Did put in a mechanism to flick the seat forward or did you just live with it? ________________________________________ Rallye build: 11 November 1998 - a WednesdayTeam rallye,built for track ----Click this if you like rallyes Rallye dead Secret Team Astor... |
