Cut me deep... :laughing-smiley-014:

LOL...dont hang shit on The Streets , they are modern day poets :P

Ah yes the Lada. So sad to see it go. It was a loyal thing, it saved my life last year when my car was off the road. It provided endless entertainment when having a can, several episodes of me in fits of laughter when coming home to see its bumper bar and other misc bolts accross the street as a result of the proud dad deciding it needed more lighting. It annoyed neighbours...it was a crowd puller at car shows.

Im not sure what i miss the most, the Lada or the cat :D

Ahhh the memories.........

Some of my favourites include:

1. As you said, trying to hit 80km/hr on the back straight at Sandown was hilarious.

2. Juz climbing on the roof and breaking the ariels at the GP and then denying it.

3. Me and Scottish took the lada down to Phillip Island for a track day, and when we got out, our feet were still vibrating 20 minutes later.

4. At the drags, when your passenger became concerned that his seat was not exactly bolted down.

5. Listening to Ash b!tch about how cold it was in the "Russian Ice Chest" the whole way back from Shepparton.

6. The prescence - nothing funnier than rocking up to traffic lights in the Lada, people chcking out the stickers, ariels, yellow flashing light, etc, etc and the looks on their faces while they try to figure out WTF kind of car it is.

RIP Team Lada :P

Outside the Committee Meeting at Leewang's house, busting the centre shaft out of one of them, and then pushing the damn thing across the tram lines into a random car park.

Removing the exhaust system for tractor sounds.

And the mercy dash back from DECA after my "Radiator Incident" to my best mates engagement party.

:wave: SAU needs a Lada support vehicle.

Hehe - vandal!

Here's a happy time. Waiting on the side of the Hume after realising the low fuel warning light actually worked...

One for the books, where my car actually rescused the Lada, rather then vice versa :wave:

LOL...i hardly recognise the hard top without the black bonnet and all the stickers :P

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
