here's a couple of mine - I could sort them out in higher res if you need..

got them in yesterday afternoon, I think they came up well don't think i'm actually sitting any lower though. that being said there's really no space to get them any lower! and fk they're hard to get in and out of, I can see a quick release steering wheel coming up before too long....

I bought a carbon front from PSI parts, looks the business and seems to be a lot more rigid than the standard lip. cost me around 500 and I fitted it myself. http://www.psiparts.com.au/detail.htm?ProductID=R33R%2DJUFL%2DCF

Hmm, interesting about the Bride rails being rubbish. Oh well, I'll set it up on the just japs and see if that gets it low enough.

They're going in an R33 GT-R. I was looking at maybe picking up a Bride Low Max rail for the drivers side to get me sitting really low - but that would be more a down the track. It's coming with Just Jap Rails and a pair of very low profile billet alloy side mount brackets and a pair of RPM universals.

Thanks for the help guys I think I'll go through with it. That is the seat dan, the ones I'm looking at are all black with yellow writing but that's the style for sure. I'm 6'5" and 80kg so it fits me perfectly Those prices look about right, I'm looking at 800 for the pair with rails and two pairs of side mount brackets.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this... I have a friend who is offering me a pair of original Velo Podium I in perfect condition at a very reasonable price. My only concern about them is that they don't have their FIA stickers on them any more. Not knowing anything about seats, are these going to be able to get through scrutineering for club sprints? I've read my CAMS manual of motorsport and can't seem to find anything on the matter. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I knew I get RACV total care for a reason....

I had a good night last night, tells me that I need to make the effort to get along more often.

as in the MSCA sprints? Yup, I'll be there - Silver R33 GT-R

Just read the whole thread, that's awesome mate!! Love it when people think outside the box like this!

If it's on a Sunday, I'll be there. I only get to the odd round at the moment because Saturdays are out for me so I'm competing in the Marque Club/NDSOC championship this year. I'd much prefer to be coming to SAU days though!

Russ makes good sense matty, there's plenty to driving these things without ridiculous power and they'll still put in shit hot laptimes....

Two large screwdrivers onto the old pads :-D

I don't know what it is, but I've had my skyline for a year and a half and no one around here is game enough to line up with me! I'm yet to have a v8 commodore driver sit up to the line with me yet, they all seem to want to sit a car length back....

Hmm, not really. The developer behind NFS shift has most of the people responsible for the excellent FIA GTR games involved. It was marketed as a sim type game and while I understand that it's not meant to be as realistic as GTR, it's meant to go a lot of the way. The shift control scheme and physics are wooden at best, there's very little feel to the cars and while I agree the aural effects are nothing short of awesome the rest of the game sucks a big one. The low level cars are drivable and fun enough, but as you move up the levels to the race cars and the fun stuff like the Zonda R and SpecV, the controls are too sensitive, even with adjustment in the menu, then the cars bounce unrealistically causing more unplayability and crashing. Nope definitely not my bag. I'm extremely satisfied with my swap for Dirt2 and I'm looking forward to Forza and even more so GT5 later in the year.

bought it yesterday, taking it back. absolute crap. Bring on Forza 3

DL1 sold to me

My car: 18" x 9.5 +15 Greetz

Looks like a Radical and Meridian Motorsport are the Oz agents so makes sense... is it an SR3?

Thanks! it's good to know about that, I've been keen to get back to a drag strip and with Calder closed it's not easy

And the odds that this car has ACTUALLY done 75,000kms genuinely? Especially being a fresh import from Japan, I'd say highly unlikely. Odometer tampering with these types of cars is rife in Japan. Look for numbers in the cluster not lining up in an original cluster, if they don't the odds are it's been wound back. If the cluster has been changed to a Nismo then the kms are definitely not genuine. Be wary. Look for excessive wear in the mat and carpets under the accelerator pedal also look for paint flaking on the inlet plenum, if the car exhibits either you can guarantee it's done well more than 100,000ks. Also, quick check for a genuine V-Spec is to look under the back of the car and make sure the diff has cooling fins on the back of it. No cooling fins, not a V-Spec. A lot of dodgy importers just put the little sticker on the back to sell the cars as V-Specs when they aren't. I saw plenty of these when I was looking for mine. Best of luck!

That is the best looking Ferrari since the 355. EFFING HOT!!
