Well i made a new set of drivers side seat rails again today and i am still not happy with them.

The first design was custom adj sides mounted to the factory bolt holes, due to the seat having a large lip on the lower front edge i could not get it to side far enough back for me (too tall).

The next one was straight to the floor pan of the car this gave me good height and allowed the seat to slide back heaps but cause the slide sits next to the seat i could not get the seat dead centre with the steering column (10 mm to the right GRRRRR).

So it is back to the drawing board, i am thinking about some square rhs with three nutsert threads in it and three sets of holes in the seat mts to allow some movement back and forth (No adj slides). My only problem is the nutsert threads are only M6, i am a bit worried about there strength.

If anyone has some good pics of their mounts or some ideas that would be very helpful.

Cheers.

Andrew,

I drilled into the lower control arms up front on the cross memebr I think? so as you move the hole to put some bolt it...it pushes the bottom half out.

I had just over -4 camber up front

was wicked!

hurry up Ryan!!

we gotta hit the track together!

I did some thing similar. I only moved the arm up looking for better roll C. I have seen some redrilled out where the cross is for camber as well.

As for camber in mine, I used a big mofo rose joint rod end and nut.

Well it has been a while again, but the progress is picking up slowly i have primed and painted the inside in GMH acrylic black, it is the closest thing i could find to matt black. It looks ok and should not rust or reflect any light at me.

I just have to wire it up over the next three days and try and finish inside the car.

Yes I have something running :)

Yes I want to come down but it is the same weekend as the mid year Noosa Hillclimb. :spank:

You should come for a blat up the hill in the november event dunc. its on Nov 13/14, I think its the weekend before the national supersprint, Nov 20/21?

Sorry for the side track Ryan. I like your cage by the way.

Absolutely perfect mate. I will be up for the nationals if I have to bring a push bike. I just need to impose on someone near morgan park to store the car for a week :) send me details as soon as the other weekend is open, I'll be in and I bet Neil will be too.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
