My C33 Laurel

[DannyC33]

And a pic of lukes laurel with the wheels me and a few mates bought him for his wedding present.

[Dan_J]

best wedding present

nic has confirmed a31/c33 is slightly different ( mainly dude to the 88' build date where as 89 was the r32 ) so he should confirm banjo bolts and lines which really cant be that different if they are.

try ebay for repro rods or get the drift works etc non hi-cas set up bars and braces if the repro's are just as pricy

haha yeah we all thought so to.

they are actually work euroline type 2 or somethin 17 x8 and 17 x9

they are his fav wheels and has wanted em for ages. i saw them come up for sale so snapped em up at a good price.

and fitted them with toyo r1rs on the front and some sumitomos on the back.

haha.

ah ok.. ill have to go steal the water and oil lines off my mates spare block then haha.

ill sus ebay for the rods.

not real keen on the drift works kit.

is it really worth it?

[DannyC33]

hey guys need an opinion.

currently there is two sets of recaros for sale.

both are similar price.

just dunno which would suit the laurel more.

they are both black so will need to be retrimmed.

the first set are out of an evo 4.

ie

the second set are an old school recaro out of say a jza70r supra, or evo 1-3, brock commo.

ie

what do people think?

[DannyC33]

other option is 32gtr seats... hmmm

[toffy]

32 gtr seats for ease of fitment

[DannyC33]

I have recaro rails for a laurel already. so ease of fitment doesn't affect decision Haha. :-P

[toffy]

Well recaro it is!

[DannyC33]

And recaro it shall be. put a deposit on the evo ones today. gonna pic em up next weekish when i have a car that's able to fit them in the back to take home Haha.

Turns out the missus audi tt isnt quite big enough Haha

[Stang]

+1. Good side bolstering really helps with hills runs...love my Bride seat.

[DannyC33]

Yeah brides are sick but i wanted somethin legal. currently other then the coil overs and my offset there's nothin detectable about it.

[Stang]

Fair enough. I was wondering if Bride seats can be engineered?

[DannyC33]

not to my knowledge.

but yeah recaros are fine because they are a factory fitted seat. even after market ones and fixed backs most are legal. only issues really is the rails.

[DannyC33]

woo pickin up my recaros tonight. cant wait!

now i need to stop bein lazy and get my exhaust made and put the vg30 turbo on. then rego again soon.

[DannyC33]

sooooo..

fitted my recaro to the drivers side yesturday.

it was a total pain in the ass....

and its shit.

the rails to tall so it actually sits about as high as the standard seat.

unless anyone else has some lower rails they wonna sell to me asap.

ill be cuttin these genuine recaro rails up on the weekend and making them lower.

basically the inner slider needs to be moved into the middle of the seat with brackets goin from there to the legs and upwards to the seat.

stupid idea. but ohwell.

[toffy]

High rails suck! , i modified a s13/180 bride rail to fit in my old laurel , it sat pretty low with only the outer needing modification (had to cut and re weld the mounts to make it sit straight)

[DannyC33]

yeah, its pretty gay.

ive found a set of rails. but just sucks that i bought rails now i have to buy more.

mate of mines a welder and has offered to modify mine. or if i can find some random generic rails he will just make them outta them. so that might be the way i think

[Stang]

So I guess you worrying about being able to see over the dash was unnecessary.

[DannyC33]

hahaha yeah extremely unnecessary!

ohwells will be sorted out soon. half tempted to just mount them on the floor haha. im the only one that drives it

[DannyC33]

first of the decent pics from the wedding
