Title: My saturday picking a fight with a four
Post by: silkyst185 on February 03, 2008, 01:05:41 am
ok so today i decided to check my oil and water and just do a general routine check on the engine... i opened the bonnet, done what i had to, topped up here and there, then with a little smile on my face i closed the lid (or at least tried to) ??? the dam bonnet wouldn't shut after much anger, 3 hours in the cold >:( and nearly a new bonnet, i found that i have a loose bonnet cable!! i eventually got it shut to huge relief only to find i had left a plastic cover off >:( so back where i started then, i prayed the thing would shut but guess what.... it didnt and it wasn't about to either, after more time spent in the cold and looking like an idiot cause i couldn't close the stupid thing i decided to strip a bit more of the interior out ::) she is now bare inside bar the dash and some carpet :D i went back to my new nemesis and showed the *BLEEP* whos boss ;D i managed to get a flat head screwdriver in there just enough to bring the loose cable tight again WooHoo it shut i had won mwahahaha oh and i got 2 sparco bucket seats today as well ;) gonna be fitting them tomorrow! wish me luck lol

well the seats came with universal sub frames but it just wouldn't sit right on the original runners so we got an angle grinder and cut the existing runners off the old seats and drilled new holes and made up a new sub frame to sit straight on top of the existing runners job went really well, you'll have to have a look at the next meet pal im well impressed with them

Bride runners all the way 8) 8)

Incredibly expensive, but quality all the way. They drop the height of the seat by some, fit my Cobras straight out the box, no messing and fit the holes in the floor  ;D  They even have mounting points built in for harnesses if you are so inclined :)

I think they are worth every penny. ;)
