Hello guys,

Does anyone know where I can get me some racing seats?

I'm particularly after some Brides - nowhere searching on the net seems to sell em in Aus.

Will I have to get some on the next trip to Japan or is it likely places like JustJap will have them sometimes?

What does everyone else run with? I won't need the ones that go flip as it will be for a 4 door gtst .. Will consider 2nd hand!

Iwells - I will be trying to get a L2NS CAMS license ( i think its that ).

Does that mean I need to have seats approved by them to go on the track in the timed events? I thought people could go on those runs with stockos?

Dave - ouchhhhh we talkin over a grand?

As long as the installation of the seat is fine, then they are fine for L2S events. But for the road they should be ADR approved, but many proper race seats meet ADR and FIA so no worries from safety aspects, it is possible you may run into strife if you have passengers in the back seat of your car and you have a fixed drivers seat.

If it floats you boat i have a new Velo race seat, its no Bride, but is FIA/ADR approved and more comfortable/supportive then the Bride seats i have sat in as im not built like the average Japanese guy...ie sit in it before you buy, most are small and very tight. $520 + postage and the Velo is yours (end shameless self serving plug)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
