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

yea

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

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
