I have the OEM mat, it isn't that great as all the crap slides around in the back now. Im sure there is a better material to make it out of, even plain rubber would work better as Josh said.

Great for taking the dog for a drive though.

There's a sweet mat that actually goes up the back of the rear seats and the headrests go through it. So when you fold the seats down and presumably put a bike/snowboard/etc in there, it's covering the whole lot instead of just the "cargo area".

But yeah, only ever seen one on YAJ and it was stuffed.

Luckily I have both of the factory mats, the rubber mat and the mat that runs up to the back of the seats for when you fold them flat.

About 2 months ago I did see a set of mats that covered the wheels arches that matches my mat but I forgot to bid on them. Never seen either of the mats before or after that on yahoo.

Wouldn't be too hard to get a trimmer to make one up, surely. Just got to find one that works for cartons.

Best bet would be for someone that has one to take it to a trimmer and get them to replicate it.

Is that the sound of a group buy starting up Jase?

I guess it would really depend on what everyone wants.

I'm pretty happy without one, but if I was going to get something it would be some sort of carpet that went up the back of the seats like we were talking about above, but with a washable, water resistant carpet. That way after a muddy day on the bikes it can be pulled out, hosed off and chucked on the line to dry.

So you would want it out of a marine type carpet? The factory one isnt carpet, it's a thin fabric with a thin rubber back.

I'll see what they can offer.

That's what I used. Just cut the right width and then make the cuts so that it sit nicely with the seats down (and covers the headrests too - my dog put his claw through the leather on one of them).

Cheap, easy and works very well.

I suppose. The fabric with rubber back would be just as suitable I guess. I'm not really that serious about getting one to be honest..

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
