handling & power > autosalon fagging

It's already fast enough with the GEN3 engine and current power mods. I might raise the boost later down the track but for now I'm very happy.

Handling wise, again it's pretty damn good (in stock form, mind you) but I am doing a few upgrades.

So far I have bought BC Coilovers, Cusco front/rear strut braces and I guess my lighter wheels and decent tyres count as handling mods too (or braking more-so).

Future plans include sway bars and a few other small things.

I'm not "autosalon fagging". The Recaros are for holding me in my seat through fast corners. If I wanted new seats for cosmetic reasons I would get my mate to retrim them for cheap.

I'm taking my car to Haunted Hills later this year so all these mods are for a reason :)

I've never seen an MR2 come with bucket seats from factory. Not even the late models. I don't doubt you though.

Here is a 1998 interior. These seats look a little bit more bucket-like than mine, but it could just be the angle.

The only differences I've seen are leather or suede trim upgrades.

Surely you wouldn't classify them as buckets?

^^^ those look like celica seats.

the late model MR2 GT-S (post 96... think that's a S3) came with some sweet optional leather buckets that cuddled your nuts better than a puertorican whore.

I <3 the GTR seats plenty of bucket for a daily!, although from the feel of them they wouldn't be very comfortable for a larger gentleman as they are pretty narrow and firm.

You should buy Aarons r34 gtr seats jezza :)

you're also a massive homo, so I guess that kinda splains it.

alex, I bought a boser metal extension for the hood this weekend. $500 delivered from the US :)

next paycheck = respray and panel work. also need to figure out how to pop the boot.... like any good pornstar, teh golf is havin her back door shaved.

thats steep but cheaper than custom, plus its like unique +10 baller points to you sir.

yes... i am gonna leave the line on the teks for a while....

oks i knew a guy sellin a pair ill keep an eye out for ya man

R32 gtr seats are the most hugging. But they still suck because they don't have thigh support so you still slide around. Still want that bride gias low max mmm

r32 gtr seats are sweet

being a big boy, i was always worried my ass wouldnt fit in them

but when i went to take pics of jamies r32, i jumped in and fit, nice and snug

happiest day of my life

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
