Well, i have sat in the passenger seat of my car heaps with mates driving, but the other day i did a first, and sat in the back seats.

Its is quite pimpalicious sitting in the back. I have to admit, i really love the lines of the rear door and the way you feel when in the rear seats.

There is enough leg room and all, and the windows just make you feel so VIP being so dark, specially with the arm rest down.

I know this car isnt anything in luxury compared to my old celsior (which i loved it backs seat too) but damn, it feels good.

Anyone else sat in the back seats?

PS. Must really compliment the engineers for the leaning rear seats and the roof arm holder things, they mesh really well together :D;)

I rode in the back of mine when I first looked at it to buy, as I had my old man with me and the (then) owner in the car too. The owner took us to a nice quiet area before he let us drive, and I sat in the back behind my dad.

I gotta say, I quite liked it. Very comfortable to travel in, and enough room for me (I'm 5'10" tall, which I guess is about average for a male) to stretch out.

And yeah, those rear windows are pimpin'! :D

I've only sat in the back while rigging up stereo bits in the doors or cleaning out all the junk i throw back there. there is plenty of room, but i have my seat a fair way back (6'2") most of the time. only when i need to have passengers do i move it forward. the electric seat takes forever to move and is a pain to get back just how i like it.

Do the electric seats have memories?

Terminal - But when they fold down, the carpets rough. Dont forget to bring a blanket.

Sleeping the back of the car isnt that bad actually. Only issue ive got with it is that it gets REALLLLLLLLLLY cold during the night. Need to wake up, turn the car on for 10 minutes, mega heat it up an repeat in 2 hours.

My electric seats don't, the series 2 might, i don't know.

I have a boot protector in mine, big plastic thing that stops the carpet getting damaged, but yes, a blanket (swag) is required

it's great with the rear sunroof uncovered or open, you can see the stars for a bit, until it fogs up

Cant fit in the back seats without the seat reclining to the rear heaps and front seats forward as far as possible.

Cant lay down in wagon space as my ankles overhang the edge!!

Thats what happens when you fill up a doorway!

my S2 doesn't have seat memory. they're electric adjust,and manual for angle in the rear.

while we're talking interior stuff,is it just me,or does anyone else think the remote back seat release levers at the back of the hatch are pretty cool?

Justin...

If they did, they are probably thinking, OOh heck no, here comes that fat.....

Seriously folks, if my kids could talk they would agree, being in the back seat is sic...fully sic. They look pretty chuffed though, sitting up in their maxiriders. And with those tints, just think of the money I've saved on Baby Bans.

I have almost got the 2y.o. to say "HOON"

For me the most depressing thing about those silver handles in the boot is that I cant use them...damn maxiriders. But that electric boot closer....ooh baby, silky smooth. If I ever slam it by mistake I have to open it again and let it self close, just to watch it.

P.S. Not being greedy, but no one else drives it unless their carrying a 22K bank cheque. I havent quite swallowed on the insurance premium yet.

Everyone I've shown that to agrees that it is an awesome feature!

There are so many little features in our cars that are so ahead of their time/intended market that it's a spin-out. It's all the little things that we've only just started seeing appearing on new cars, or only if you were prepared to pay prestige-car (and usually European car) money.

Oh yeah, I've let a few trusted souls drive my car since I bought it in October, and I find not only that I enjoy being a passenger, but also seeing the reaction on the faces of those who I've let drive it.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
