Bride + low mount rail = epic win.

I look like a little kid sitting in my car with a Bride Brix (recliner) and superlow rail in there, but theres so much head room even with a helmet on. Also, being a drift orientated seat, they are designed to hold you in place during crazy transitions, nothing short of rolling the car will see you move in the seat (my leg didn't even hit the trans tunnel when I crashed, and I was doing at least 50 kays backwards when I hit :))

Only bad thing about my Bride is it's a right pain in the arse to get in and out of, the side bolsters are so goddam high :P

as for helmets.........in a car, $50 (open face) at Hyperformance Cycles............on a bike, consider spending up to 10 times that amount

Face face might be better in the event of a crash, but if you're tight for $, then an open face will do for now.

Peter Stevens in the city have a huge range of lids.

If you're after a race seat, will you also need a harness?

Nah, coz I only want to get a racing seat just for the fact that i'll able to mount it lower and give me a bit more head room.

But I was just thinking, Does anyone know if it's possible to put 34gtr seats in a 32? Spose i'd have to get different rails....

I got a pair of brand new Velo's for my car. They're on Jacobson Crst. Holden hill. They have every seat they make available for testing in the showroom.

They're also ADR approved, my car went through regency with them without a problem. They also do ADR approved harnesses.

Not sure on retail. The guys there are good mates. If you tell Adrian that Kevin sent you, he might look after you, or charge you more for knowing a knob like me :(

And cheers, I need someone to buy it though :(

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
