Although pretty low to the floor, these stock s2000 seats are brilliant for relaxing in! Think I'll keep them in my room forever lol.

It's on the list mate, just not the immediate list. This car going nowhere, so I've plenty of time before the turbo.

Some Saturday if your free, I can pop up and we can test fit them to your car? I need to adjust my coils anyway so makes sense to do it while your trying out the wheels
Then if you like you can buy when I'm selling up lol.

That looks superb in the pics. Great job overall.

Had a drive in one of these last week after looking out for one > Scared the sandals of me the way the back twitches out . Ended up going for a z4 as i hadn't the driving skills for these and my wife would also have been driving . Stunning looking motor mate and i wish i could handle one , knowing my luck if i did get one it would end up wacked in no time .

Might have just needed an alignment mate. They are extremely sensitive to poor geometry setup. Maybe seized bolts and camber all uneven. Mine is like that atm. I'm waiting on the parts to fix the issue.
In the wet, they do havea tenancy to flick the back end out but in the dry they are extremely planted.
It's actually easier to control the car during a slide with gradual throttle than to panic and lift foot off throttle completely mid turn or even to hit the brakes, as this cuts power to wheels, thus throwing car all over the place.

Experienced this my first night of driving it home. Scared the crap out of me.
Do all your braking before a corner so as to allow yourself to gradually increase throttle as you sweep round the bend and accelerate hard out of it.

Good luck with the z4. Also lovely motors.

 

[mcmurray]

I'll just fire these in here Tim.

Wee spin out on Monday to the north coast with a short stop at the dark hedges. First time, class spot.

 

[svensktoppen]

It is a great little spot that, once you find it. We went past it a few times before we got there the first time, lol.

Can be full of tourists, but looks like you managed to get a quiet day.

There was 8 black Taxis full of tourists and about a dozen other cars about when we arrived but I waited patiently and got a couple off photos before more started to arrive.
Photos ruined by the horrible reflections. Take it a polarizer reduces that? Not totally clued up with photography.

 

[svensktoppen]

Yes, a polarisation filter can help reduce reflections. They come in a few different varieties for different purposes - circular, linear, etc. To deal with reflections, you need one you can turn to change the "angle" (phase) of polarisation. You basically adjust the filter until the reflections go away. Any serious place that sells them can advice.

Something I'll look into then. Just like to try get some decent photos of the car myself until I'm at a stage where I'm happy with the progress and can see about getting a few of guys on here that actually know what there doing to snap a few photos.
Would love a few professional photos of it at some stage.
