Whats new with Chloe?

alright Mike heres an update

Bought a FRST Recaro interior courtesy of Tel. thanks very much.
Had to have it as it was a bit of a one off as the previous owner before Tel had them put headrest's in the rear seats, along with Recaro badges.








had a bit of trouble fitting the front seats to start with as Tel had put 3.5 runners on already, which i needed obviously, but lost 1 of the bolts to put the runner on to the seat. the 1 that goes in under the seat belt which is just a pain to get to. so left that one till last. then when i had time to fit it i did so, then realised the same bolt had come un done on the drivers so had to take the drivers side out again to re-fit it. in the end had to buy 2, 8mm bolts cut them down to size, and thankfully they had a spanner head so weren't to hard to fit.

i have just bought some XR2i 16v door cards as well so it all matches.

that will be it for the inerior now i should think.

[M1K3Y_B]

I thought you had missed it, thats why i quoted myself

Looks good, really like those rear seats
Didn't know they came with headrest, have they been modded for them to fit, or are they standard?

Whats next?

[Tweek]

Recaros are soooo good

[CrAzY kAyLL]

am jelous as they look well nice - You got yourself a good buy there mate

[Minstral]

Recaros are soooo good

are so good and just keep you in the seat so well when going around corners.

:o am jelous as they look well nice - You got yourself a good buy there mate

definately worth the money as they are in top condition

the seat sre modded Mike, as i did say

'Had to have it as it was a bit of a one off as the previous owner before Tel had them put headrest's in the rear seats, along with Recaro badges.'

[M1K3Y_B]

I just looked at the pictures and not the text, sorry

They look so much better like that

[bakewell001]

Nice touch on the interior. I miss recaros...

[Minstral]

cheers steve have to show you it some time.

Nice touch on the interior. I miss recaros...

you no how to sort that out then

[EUFez]

Well thats made me jealous, they look sooo fooking awesome!
Cant wait to get some!

[Minstral]

yeah they are so good mate.
best seats ive ever sat in. so comfy yet keep you in the seat when going round corners.

[xr2i-carl]

Recaros look good, not sure if the 16v door cards will match 100% though.

Are you keeping the original standard winged seats? They were in good nick. Be nice to keep them as it was a good unmolestered car.

[M1K3Y_B]

Carl this might answer your question

[xr2i-carl]

What a shame, not something i would do personally. Unless your completely strapped for cash

Lovely original good condition interior being sold off. What happens when you go to sell her and get offered a good price for the recaros seperately?

I would always keep the original interior incase you decide to turn her back to standard or decide to go into concourse or something.

[Minstral]

haven't really got the space to keep it i would if i could. is it such good condition.
concourse would need a lot of attention u the rust on the sill, have just had a hole welded, the paint would need some attention as well.

not completely decided what im gon do to it. like how low to go wether to get coilovers or adjustables.
but im just putting my own stamp on the car now.

[hb69]

Coilovers, get it scraping on the ground

[xr2i-carl]

Coilovers would be great. Look good and handle superbly. Keep us updated.

[fiend]

Recaros were the best thing I have bought for my car. They really are worth paying out for... so comfortable.

Feels like someone is hugging you everytime you get in your car.

[HCS PIMP]

coilovers can hurt lol after 3 hours drivign yesturday day and an hour today my spine was fooo barred

[M1K3Y_B]

Toby, seeing as everyone goes on about how they hug you, and i have never sat in a recaro seat before.

Can i sit in yours next time we meet up mate, i need some hugs

[Minstral]

duno about that Mike ,

course you can.

once ive soled a few more bits and got some space back in the garage ill decide what im going for. still got the wheels for sale and now got the interior to get rid of

[dontpannic]

I'm skint at the moment, which is a shame. I'm sure I've read somewhere that MK3.5 seats fit in the MK5.......

[EUFez]

Recaro's in a Mk5 would look brilliant.
Mistral you planning to go euro with your si? If so what your plans?

[M1K3Y_B]

I'm skint at the moment, which is a shame. I'm sure I've read somewhere that MK3.5 seats fit in the MK5.......

Surely, its just another case of swapping the subframes over Nick?

I am getting some hugs

[Minstral]

yeah they do nick. just swap over the sub frames. £50 in top condition, bargain really.

eufez, am planning to go euro, got no definate plans but im want to keep it as standard, with bumpers and that but just add to it. nothing will happen really until its lowered.

[Minstral]

small update

i bought some XR2i 16v door cards to sort of match the FRST seats. bought them about 2-3 weeks ago now of xrsi, just couldnt be arsed to take pictures of them. they are in top condition as are the seats.

with out closely looking you cant tell that they are different, and only if you know what your talking about then you can tell.



comparison of the two different trims. the xr2i stounds out slightly more than the FRST




thats the interior sorted now. still not sure about the rears. i like them because they are different, but they may be coming out when ive sold some bits, so i have some more space in the garage.

[hb69]

i need some hugs

Remind me at the next meet

Toby, take the back seats out, and leave them out. How often do you use the back seats?

[Minstral]

im thinking about it. as i say need to get rid of some bits from in the garage so i have some space to take them out and store them

[hb69]

im thinking about it. as i say need to get rid of some bits from in the garage so i have some space to take them out and store them

Sell them, or you can leave them in my garage if you want,im sure theres space for a rear bench in there.Nothing else though.

[CrAzY kAyLL]

hb69 you mean nothing else except his car and the keys to it just incase you fancy putting his back seats in the car of course

Like the new interior looks spot on mate

[hb69]

hb69 you mean nothing else except his car and the keys to it just incase you fancy putting his back seats in the car of course

Tobys' car isnt low enough for me

[M1K3Y_B]

Looks so much better with matching door cards

[CrAzY kAyLL]

hb69 you mean nothing else except his car and the keys to it just incase you fancy putting his back seats in the car of course

Tobys' car isnt low enough for me

It will be when you put the back seats in and pick up 3 fat women coming out of a slimming world meeting

[Minstral]

bought some coilovers yesterday. been putting it off for a few months buying some form of setup. after going to last weeks south east ft meet, got the bug for it again. thanks to Mike as well for posting the link

they are brand new. the previous owner bought them and fitted to his track car.they were on there for 2 weeks while the car sat on his drive, said he moved it up and down the drive once and thats it. so got a bargain really




hope to get them fitted this week some time

[dontpannic]

Very nice. At last you'll not be on stilts
